Chapter 023-12 재사 예형과 의인 길평

24.平知事已泄，縱步向前，扯住操耳而灌之。操推藥潑地，磚皆迸裂。操未及言，左右已將吉平執下。操曰：「吾豈有疾，特試汝耳！汝果有害我之心！」遂喚二十個精壯獄卒，執平至後園拷問。操坐於亭上，將吉平縛倒於地。吉平面不改容，略無懼怯。操笑曰：「量汝是個醫人，安敢下毒害我？必有人唆使你來。你說出那人，我便饒你。」平叱之曰：「汝乃欺君罔上之賊，天下皆欲殺汝，豈獨我乎！」操再三磨問。平怒曰：「我自欲殺汝，安有人使我來？今事不成，惟死而已！」操怒，教獄卒痛打。打到兩個時辰，皮開肉裂，血流滿階。操恐打死，無可對證，今獄卒揪去靜處，權且將息。傳令次日設宴，請眾大臣飲酒。惟董承託病不來。王子服等皆恐操生疑，只得俱至。操於後堂設席。酒行數巡，曰：「筵中無可為樂，我有一人，可為眾官醒酒。」

教二十個獄卒：「與吾牽來！」

25.須臾，只見一長枷釘著吉平，拖至階下。操曰：「眾官不知：此人連結惡黨，欲反背朝廷，謀害曹某；今日天敗，請聽口詞。」操教先打一頓，昏絕於地，以水噴面。吉平甦醒，睜目切齒而罵曰：「操賊！不殺我，更待何時？」操曰：「同謀者先有六人，與汝共七人耶？」平只是大罵。王子服等四人面面相覷，如坐鍼氈。操教一面打，一面噴。平並無求饒之意。操見不招，且教牽去。

 But he guessed now the conspiracy had been discovered, so he dashed forward, seized Cao Cao by the ear, and tried to pour the potion down his throat. Cao Cao pushed it away, and it spilt. The bricks upon which it fell were split asunder. Before Cao Cao could speak, his servants had already seized the assailant.

 Said Cao Cao, "I am not ill. I only wanted to test you. So you really thought to poison me!"

 He sent for a score of sturdy gaolers who carried off the prisoner to the inner apartments to be interrogated. Cao Cao took his seat in a pavilion, and the hapless physician, tightly bound, was thrown to the ground before him. The prisoner maintained a bold front.

 Cao Cao said, "I thought you were a physician. How dared you try to poison me? Someone incited you to this crime. If you tell me, I will pardon you."

 "You are a rebel. You flout your Prince and injure your betters. The whole empire wishes to kill you. Do you think I am the only one?"

 Cao Cao again and again pressed the prisoner to tell what he knew, but he only replied that no one had sent him and it was his own desire.

 "I have failed, and I can but die," added Ji Ping.

 Cao Cao angrily bade the gaolers give him a severe beating, and they dogged him for two watches. His skin hung in tatters, the flesh was battered, and the blood from his wounds ran down the steps. Then fearing he might die and his evidence be lost, Cao Cao bade them cease and remove him. They took him off to a quiet place where he might recover somewhat.

 Having issued orders to prepare a banquet for next day, Cao Cao invited all the courtiers thereto. Dong Cheng was the only one who excused himself, saying he was unwell. The other conspirators dared not stay away as they felt they would be suspected.

 Tables were laid in the private apartments, and after several courses the host said, "There is not much to amuse us today, but I have a man to show you that will sober you."

 "Bring him in!" Cao Cao said, turning to the gaolers, and the hapless Ji Ping appeared, securely fastened in a wooden collar. He was placed where all could see him.

 "You officials do not know that this man is connected with a gang of evil doers who desire to overturn the government and even injure me. However, Heaven has defeated their plans, but I desire that you should hear his evidence."

 Then Cao Cao ordered the gaolers to beat their prisoner. They did so till Ji Ping lay unconscious, when they revived him by spraying water over his face. As soon as he came to, he glared at his oppressor and ground his teeth.

 "Cao Cao, you rebel! What are you waiting for? Why not kill me?" cried Ji Ping.

 Cao Cao replied, "The conspirators were only six at first; you made the seventh. Is that true?"

 Here the prisoner broke in with more abuse, while Wang Zifu and the other three conspirators exchanged glances, looking as though they were sitting on a rug full of needles. Cao Cao continued his torture of the prisoner, beating him into unconsciousness and reviving him with cold water, the victim disdaining to ask mercy. Finally Cao Cao realized he would incriminate none of his accomplices, and so he told the gaolers to remove Ji Ping.
