Chapter 535 Discussing Sima Shis Issue(1/2)

Sima Shi suddenly had a chance to make a quibble, and he quickly said, "Mr. Cao, I don't want to betray you, but I think the letter of persuasion to surrender is humiliating you, so I don't want you to see it, so I tamper with it."

There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in his tone, as if he was forced to do such a thing.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very tense.

There was anger in Yao Maoyu's eyes.

After hearing Sima Shi's words, Yao Maoyu was even more angry. He shouted: "Do you think this can cover up your crime? Your actions have betrayed the king. What are you still in the face of quibbling here!"

Sima Shi's face turned paler, and he knew that he could no longer deny it.

"Cao Pi, let's talk about this later. You can read the letter of persuading surrender first." Qin Fengdao.

Although the first letter of persuasion of surrender had been destroyed by Sima Shi, Xi Yu knew what he had written, so he wrote another one.

Qin Feng handed Cao Pi the letter of persuasion to surrender. Cao Pi slowly took it and unfolded the letter paper. What caught his eye was Xi Yu's familiar handwriting.

Qin Feng looked at Cao Pi nervously, and saw that Cao Pi's face gradually became solemn. His fingers gently rubbed the letter paper, as if feeling the emotions that were revealed between the lines of Xi Yu.

Cao Pi looked at the letter quietly without saying a word, but his eyes revealed his inner struggle.

Xi Yu spoke earnestly in the letter, expressing his admiration for himself and his analysis of the world's general trend, with the words full of sincerity.

However, thinking that this letter was written by Xi Yu to persuade him to surrender, another wrath surged in Cao Pi's heart.

He felt that this was Xi Yu's insult to himself and a challenge to his ambition and dignity.

Cao Pi held the letter paper tightly, and his fingers turned slightly white due to excessive force. His eyes became gloomy and flickered with anger, as if he wanted to burn the letter paper to ashes.

Qin Feng said that whether Cao Pi was willing or not, this letter should always be seen by Cao Pi, but Sima Shi intercepted the lord halfway and wrote a letter under the name of Cao Pi, and he could not escape the blame.

Qin Feng's words echoed in the air, with a firm and fair tone.

"This is a letter created by the Sima family, written in the name of Cao Pi." Qin Feng sneered, and then took out a letter from his cuff.

Cao Pi frowned slightly. He took the letter from Sima Zhao handed over by Qin Feng and carefully looked at the handwriting on the envelope.

Qin Feng stood quietly aside.

Cao Pi slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper. His eyes were focused on the letter paper, reading Sima Zhao's words word by word.

The room was silent, with only the sound of Cao Pi turning the letter paper and the slightest breathing. Every moment was full of suspense, making people wait for breath.

"Bastard? How could this marquis do such a thing?" Cao Pi was particularly angry.

Cao Pi was full of anger. He grabbed Sima Shi's collar tightly, and his eyes revealed anger and disappointment. The anger in his heart was burning, as if he was about to ignite the entire room.

"You are destroying my reputation!" Cao Pi's voice was filled with irrepressible anger. He felt that his reputation was greatly insulted, "I absolutely cannot write such a letter!"

Sima Shi's face was pale.

A trace of pain flashed in Cao Pi's eyes, and his heart was filled with contradictions and disappointment. He originally planned to treat the Sima family well, but he did not expect Sima Shi to do such a thing, which made him feel heartbroken and disappointed.

"Sima Yi was killed by me. I planned to treat the Sima family well in the future. But you did such a thing!" His voice was filled with endless sadness and disappointment.

Sima Shi sighed and closed his eyes.

"I have made a big mistake, please punish Mr. Cao."

Cao Pi's face was so gloomy that he was full of determination.

"Sima Shi, I can't tolerate your behavior!" His voice was cold and stern, "I must deal with you!"

Qin Feng said: "Slowly, although this matter was led by Sima Shi, it is impossible for this letter to be written by Sima Shi. In my opinion, it should be done by his younger brother Sima Zhao."

Sima Shi's face turned paler, and there was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"No, Cao Gong, this letter was indeed written by me and has nothing to do with my younger brother! I am willing to guarantee it with my personality!"

Cao Pi's eyes became more and more fierce. He stared at Sima Shi, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Do you really want to deny it to the end? Sima Shi, I am not that easy to fool!" Qin Feng said.

Sima Shi straightened his body and did not retreat at all.

The earth met Cao Pi's gaze.

"Duke Cao, don't listen to his nonsense. Everything I say is true and there is no falsehood. If Duke Cao doesn't believe it, I have nothing to say. He clearly wants to arrange it on purpose."

Cao Pi was silent for a moment, and his brows frowned tightly at Qin Feng.

"Do you have conclusive evidence that it was done by Sima Zhao?"

Of course, Cao Pi knew that Sima Shi also had a younger brother named Sima Zhao, but he was still too young, how could he do such a thing?

Qin Feng said: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, but King Xi believes that it is not impossible to do such a thing with Sima Zhao's intelligence and means."

A trace of doubt surged in Cao Pi's heart.

Sima Shi suddenly laughed, although he laughed so desolately.

"What are you talking nonsense? What King Xi Yu thinks is what he is. You are such a loyal lackey."

Qin Feng kicked him immediately.

"It is a great honor for me to be the king's dog. What can you do?"

Cao Pi also felt that Qin Feng’s statement was a bit exaggerated.

Yao Maoyu has always wanted to speak, but after all, her identity is particularly humble and hard to say.

Qin Feng saw it and asked, "Do you have something to say to Cao Pi?"

Yao Maoyu nodded, he did have something to say.

Although Qin Feng could call Cao Pi by his name directly, Cao Pi was also a great prince and he dared not call him directly.

But when he called him Cao Gong, he felt very disgusted and simply called him nothing.

"I do have something to say, who pretended to be a fake Cao Pi? Apart from Sima Shi, who else has done this, and I must catch all of these people in one place."

After hearing this, Sima Shi flowed out sweat from his forehead and stared at him fiercely.

"Why did you kill me so much? I have admitted that I did this."

"It's a joke. If you admit it, will it be fine?"

Cao Pi sat down and told them not to speak anymore. He was thinking about what to do.

The other generals sat around, silent, thinking about how to deal with the matter. Their eyes revealed doubts and concerns, as if weighing the possible consequences.

Sima Shi's face was as pale as paper, and he defended himself with a trembling voice: "Mr. Cao, this letter is indeed written by me and has nothing to do with my younger brother Sima Zhao!"

The less Cao Pi spoke, the more he felt that Sima Shi felt unsure.

Cao Pi fell into deep thought, and the anger in his heart was gradually suppressed by reason.

He understood that Qin Feng's words were not without reason, and that he treated Sima Shi like this in front of everyone today, which was equivalent to being led by Qin Feng.

He didn't want to lose face, but he didn't know how to deal with it properly.

At this time, Cao Pi noticed the generals' expressions, and he realized that he had to act cautiously.

He thought to himself: "I can't make people feel that I was influenced by Qin Feng's decision. But Sima Shi is a person from me after all, and I can't deal with him easily."

Qingfeng sneered: "Is it difficult to make a decision?"

Cao Pi immediately supported his hand on his forehead.

"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly had a headache, maybe I was infected with the cold."

Of course everyone present understands that he is just pretending to be confused.

Sima Shi was stunned. Does Cao Pi have to look to him?

After doubting, he quickly understood his situation.

Yes, even if Cao Pi hated him to the core, in front of outsiders, he represented Luoyang people and also from Cao Wei people.

As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner.

Therefore, it was impossible for Cao Pi to easily deal with himself.

When he thought of it, he felt his waist straightened.

Then he looked at Yao Maoyu with a smile-like expression.

Yao Maoyu glared at him and finally looked at Qin Feng again.

Qin Feng knew that his guess was correct.

Cao Pi immediately said, "You guys are here so far, let's arrange a room for you to rest and have tea first."

Then, he shouted loudly: "Come here."

A few people came over quickly, and Cao Pi ordered several people to lead Yao Maoyu and the others to the guest room.

As for Sima Shi, he must be imprisoned first.

Soon, Qin Feng and Yao Maoyu were taken to the guest room.

Many servants also brought some snacks for them to eat.

Yao Maoyu was very angry and said to Qin Feng: "Haven have always been very brave? When Cao Pi decided to bring us into the guest room, why did you not object at all?"
