Cao Hong shook his head and said,""How can that be? I'm not that kind of person.
If this is true, I will give you ten taels of gold as a reward…"
Meng Yang looked at the fake smile on Cao Hong's fat face and shook his head.""You're that kind of person. I don't trust you!
Is there anyone here willing to testify for me and go to this general's house to take a look…"
Just now, this group of people who were besieging him were all very excited and in an uproar. They all wanted to follow Cao Hong to his house to take a look.
However, when Cao Hong's fierce gaze swept over, the people at the scene were all silent. No one dared to respond!
Some people recognized Cao Hong and knew that he was one of Cao Cao's most trusted cousins. They didn't dare to offend him.
Even if they didn't recognize Cao Hong, they could guess that this person's background wasn't small, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
However, at this moment, a muffled voice came from the periphery of the crowd."I'll go and take a look!"
Everyone looked over and saw a tall and mighty man like an iron tower. His figure was extremely majestic, and his expression was very valiant, giving off a great sense of oppression!
When he used his eyes to stare at people, it was like a ferocious tiger staring at people, making people's hair stand on end!
Cao Hong had originally used a threatening gaze to scan the surroundings, thinking that no one would dare to follow him. He would be able to kill and silence them later to prevent his reputation from being damaged. He did not expect that Dian Wei would appear out of nowhere, an existence that he could not do anything about!
That's right, this person was one of Cao Cao's two most trusted bodyguards, Dian Wei!
Although Dian Wei was only a commandant and his status was not as high as Cao Hong's, they belonged to two completely different systems. Dian Wei did not have to give Cao Hong face at all, just like how Xu Chu did not have to give Cao Ren face in history!
……
In history, Cao Cao's clan general, Cao Ren, came from Jingzhou to pay his respects. Cao Cao had not come out of his bedroom yet. Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside the palace and invited him to sit down in a side room to talk.
Xu Chu only said," The King of Wei is coming out soon." He turned around and returned to the hall, incurring Cao Ren's hatred.
Someone asked Xu Chu,"Cao Ren, the general who conquered the south, is an important official of the imperial clan. He has lowered himself to speak to you. Why did you refuse?"”
"Although Cao Ren is an important official of the clan, he is a general guarding a foreign vassal. As for me, Xu Chu, I'm an internal official in charge of internal defense. If we want to talk, we should talk in public. Why do we have to talk in private?”
After Cao Cao heard this, he liked Xu Chu even more.
……
Moreover, before this, Cao Hong's henchmen had wantonly broken the law and bullied men and women. When they bumped into Dian Wei, who abhorred evil, Dian Wei had killed them.
Cao Hong went to complain to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao praised Dian Wei for doing the right thing. This made Cao Hong very uncomfortable when he saw Dian Wei!
"That's my family matter, so you shouldn't get involved, alright?" Cao Hong said with a gloomy face.”
"I didn't want to get involved, but I don't want to see anyone kill the innocent!" Dian Wei said coldly.”
Cao Hong's family was very rich and had many hanger-ons. His hanger-ons often broke the law, many times before and after.
Moreover, Cao Hong was a corrupt and bribed person. He had done many bad things, and Dian Wei, who was born in poverty, could not stand it!
Cao Cao had always been happy to see his subordinates discord. He felt that if his subordinates didn't get along, they wouldn't unite to overthrow his regime.
Although Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Zhang Liao were often at odds, Cao Cao had never advised them to unite!
……
Why was Dian Wei here?
Because in a few days, Dian Wei would be following Cao Cao to the south. For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Xu Chu was on duty. Dian Wei had nothing to do, so he came out to stroll. When he came to this downtown area, he saw someone fortune-telling.
Initially, Dian Wei did not believe in such mysterious things. However, when he saw his wife Bian Yu-er and his son Cao Pi coming over to read their fortunes, he stood at the periphery of the crowd and listened.
As Dian Wei listened, the expression on his face became more and more solemn!
Even Young Master Cao Pi was in danger, which showed how intense the battle was!
Initially, Dian Wei did not believe it. He thought that under the wise leadership of his lord Cao Cao, dealing with a small Zhang Xiu would be effortless. However, the predictions that this little Daoist had made for his wife and young master were all correct. This caused a shadow to cast over Dian Wei's heart!
After Cao Hong's fortune-telling, Dian Wei became even more convinced that this little Daoist was really something. He wanted the little Daoist to read his fortune!
However, Dian Wei's salary was usually used to buy wine, eat meat, feed his children, or to help the poor. As a result, he did not have much savings, especially since he did not take any money when he went out today. It was difficult to take out 1000 wen, so he thought that he might as well help this little Taoist priest and let the little Taoist priest read his fortune for free!
Moreover, Dian Wei really couldn't stand Cao Hong's actions!
Now that Dian Wei insisted on going with them, Cao Hong had no choice.
He could only hope that even if that concubine had a secret meeting with a wild man, it would not be in broad daylight in his own house!
