曹洪 / Cao Hong
曹洪 / Cao Hong enters the wiki through Hanji 1006 as 曹操’s close kinsman whose clients become a legal-authority test in Xu. The source says Cao Hong’s retainers or guests repeatedly break the law, so 满宠 arrests and interrogates them.
Cao Hong first writes to Man Chong seeking release and then asks Cao Cao for help. That makes him less an independent biography in this source than the kinship-pressure side of a governance scene: if his request succeeds, the law visibly stops at Cao-family privilege.
Man Chong’s quick execution of the offenders, followed by Cao Cao’s praise, turns Cao Hong into the negative pressure case for 法度压过亲缘特权. The episode’s point is not that Cao Hong himself is fully assessed here; it is that Cao Cao’s order must control the dependents of powerful kin if officials are to believe enforcement is real.
