Meng Yang glanced at Cao Hong again and said indifferently,"" Let's count your wives and concubines first. Other than your main wife, you have seven concubines and more than 100 maids…"
Cao Hong was shocked and stunned. He had just brought the seventh concubine into the house yesterday, and this fortune-teller actually knew about it. It seemed like he had some skill!
Was it really difficult to extort ten taels of gold from him?
When the onlookers saw the expression on Cao Hong's face, they understood that the young Taoist priest was right. They all looked at Cao Hong with envy.
He was really lucky to have seven concubines!
One had to know that in troubled times, many people were homeless and in danger. It was a problem to even survive, let alone marry and take concubines.
This fatty actually had seven concubines. It was really enviable!
Originally, in the Han Dynasty, if one was not a noble and was just an ordinary official, no matter how high one's rank was, they could only have four concubines.
But now that he was in a chaotic world, all the rules were gone. Cao Hong, this big fatty, could only have seven concubines!
"You're right." Cao Hong said,"How much money do you think I have now?"”
Although there was a saying that one should not reveal one's wealth, Cao Hong was now very trusted by Cao Cao. He had no scruples about corruption and bribery, and no one could flaunt his wealth.
Now it was Meng Yang's turn to be surprised. Was this fatty retarded? He didn't even know that he shouldn't reveal his wealth!
Since this fatty wanted to show off his wealth, Meng Yang would fulfill his wish.
In the future, he would let the thief remember him!
"You now have 46,000 taels of gold, 63 million copper coins, 1,000 horses, 10 shops, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land…"
The onlookers all sucked in a breath of cold air. They never expected this big fatty to be so rich!
Even if the entire Xu City was filled with wealthy families, this fatty should still be one of the richest!
One had to know that a few years ago, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still in power, 10 million yuan could buy him three public positions!
Some people even guessed Cao Hong's identity, but they were afraid of Cao Hong's power and did not dare to expose his identity at all.
"Is he that person's cousin?"
"That's right, he's that person's cousin!”
"That person once said that even he isn't as rich as Cousin!”
In history, Cao Cao once said that he was not as rich as Cao Hong. In order to keep his administration clean, Cao Cao would conduct an annual investigation of his officials 'wealth. In the end, he found that Cao Hong was ranked first in wealth every year. Cao Cao sighed and envied Cao Hong's wealth. He couldn't even compare to him.
Meng Yang heard the discussions of the people around him and was very curious. Who was that person?
Who was this damn fatty? How could he be so rich!
Cao Hong smiled disdainfully." Kid, it seems like you've asked around before you read my fortune. You know quite well. But my family's money isn't as little as you say…"
"Is a large part of your family's money managed by your favorite fifth concubine?" Meng Yang asked calmly.”
Concubines were more favored and could manage money. It was simply a fine tradition in the Cao family.
For example, Cao Cao's wife, Lady Ding, had not been separated from Cao Cao because of Cao Ang's death. Therefore, Cao Cao's favorite, Bian Yu-er, was still a concubine. However, Bian Yu-er was already in charge of the Inner Residence and Cao Cao's private wealth. Lady Ding had no right to interfere in this matter!
In Cao Hong's family, it was no exception. Cao Hong's wife could not control anything. A large portion of Cao Hong's wealth was managed by his most beloved fifth concubine!
Cao Hong was suddenly stunned and immediately reacted,""What do you mean? Are you saying that she stole from inside?”
"You'll know when you go back and check it yourself," Meng Yang said calmly.”
Cao Hong's face darkened as he gritted his teeth and said,""If I can't find anything when I go back, I'll definitely smash your stall!
Also, tell me now, how many children do I have?”
Meng Yang glanced at Cao Hong and shook his head.""You don't have a child now!"
The truth was just as Meng Yang had predicted.
In history, Cao Hong had two sons. However, these two sons were born relatively late. They were both born in the later years of Jian 'an. It was now the first year of Jian' an.
Cao Hong also had a daughter who was very beautiful. She later married Xun Yu's son, but she was not born yet. She was only born in the later years of Jian An.
Cao Hong curled his lips and said with a face full of disdain,""The most important thing is that I already have a son, but you treat me as if I don't have a child!
You liar, hurry up and give me the ten taels of gold, or I'll smash your stall!”
The onlookers were in an uproar,"Haha, this liar has finally been exposed!"”
"Just now, you were still speaking logically, but now your true form has been exposed!”
"I've already said that if you don't have hair on your mouth, you won't be able to do anything.”
"Fortunately, I didn't ask him for a settlement. Otherwise, I would have lost 1,000 wen!”
Cao Hong pretended to snatch the 10 gold taels away.
Meng Yang shook his head." My dear brother, think about it. Does your son look like you?"”
Cao Hong's hand that was holding the gold suddenly froze. He glared at Meng Yang fiercely."Brat, what do you mean?"
Meng Yang did not know Cao Hong's true identity due to the restrictions of the Tianji Treasured Bible. He did not have a good impression of this damned fatty, so he simply said it directly.
"You thought that he was your son, but in fact, he was someone else's son. In other words, you were cheated on by your fifth concubine!”
