Chapter 203 I'm not afraid of you
Tian Hongyu was not the empress's father, but the biological father of Concubine Tian. Concubine Tian has always been deeply favored by Chongzhen. As Concubine Tian's father, Tian Hongyu would naturally be loved by the house and the country, and won the favor of Chongzhen. He was awarded the positions of guerrilla general, commander of the Jinyiwei and other officials.
However, what Tian Hongyu did not expect was that just last year, Concubine Tian died of illness, which caused Tian Hongyu's favor to be reduced a lot. In order to regain the emperor's favor, Tian Hongyu ran around and collected beauties to give to Chongzhen.
Tian Hongyu heard that Jiangnan was rich in beauties, especially Nanjing, which gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and gathered beauties from all over the world, so he set off for Nanjing. However, when he came to Henan, he happened to encounter trespasses raging. Tian Hongyu did not dare to force his way through and hid in Shandong for several months. After the wind was heard, he set off for Nanjing.
After coming to Nanjing, Tian Hongyu heard that Meixianglou gathered the most beautiful women in Nanjing. They not only know poetry, songs, but also sang a kind of good song. This kind of song is only available here in the whole world.
So Tian Hongyu came to Meixianglou and named the most beautiful woman to sing.
It happened that it was Chen Yuanyuan's turn to perform that day, so Chen Yuanyuan's song "Red Beans" made Tian Hongyu stunned, as if he had heard the sound of heaven. After all, his cultural level was not high, and if it was a poem or song, he might not understand it. However, this song that was as affectionate as vernacular but profound as a vernacular was like a god-like enjoyment in his ears. In addition, Chen Yuanyuan's appearance was the leader of all the girls, so Tian Hongyu was immediately intoxicated and ordered people to take Chen Yuanyuan away at all costs.
In fact, many officials in Nanjing know that Meixianglou actually has a certain background. Whether it is Ma Mingfeng, Chen Zilong, or Yang Wencong, they are all very famous. Ordinary people dare not cause trouble here.
However, when Tian Hongyu revealed his identity, Li Zhenli was shocked. The other party relied on today, and who could afford to provoke him? If Li Zhenli brought Ma Mingfeng and others out, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for them, and it would be a huge trouble.
So Li Zhenli didn't dare to ask these people for help. However, after all, Chen Yuanyuan is her contracted singer. She not only earned a lot of money for her, but also accumulated a lot of popularity for her. She didn't want Chen Yuanyuan to leave just like this. Besides, this is a talent trained by Ma Mingfeng. If Chen Yuanyuan is just letting him leave, what should she explain when Ma Mingfeng comes back?
So in this situation, Li Zhenli only thought about solving this problem by spending money, hoping to negotiate a price with Tian Hongyu so that Tian Hongyu can give up Chen Yuanyuan.
However, Tian Hongyu has already regarded Chen Yuanyuan as his ladder for promotion, so how can he let go easily? In the end, not only did he not let anyone go, but he also got 10,000 taels of silver that Li Zhenli respected for for nothing.
Li Zhenli has made a lot of money in the past two years, and she saved at least 100,000 taels of silver in her hand, so 10,000 taels of silver is not a big deal in her eyes, but this fact makes people feel cowardly, and they both pay for money, making people unable to swallow this.
But there is no way to do this. After all, Tian Hongyu's power is too great and no one can afford to offend him. So what if he is dissatisfied?
Li Zhenli just tried her best to delay time, and spent huge amounts of money to invite celebrities from all walks of life to accompany Tian Hongyu to drink and have dinner, and to delay Tian Hongyu's return as much as possible.
However, Tian Hongyu finally reacted. Although he had recently blackmailed a lot of money in Nanjing and collected several beauties, and was treated and praised by officials everywhere, he knew that his favor was actually getting worse day by day. If he did not "make contributions" as soon as possible, he would probably have nothing.
So after Tian Hongyu woke up, he was determined to return to the capital. Fortunately, he had no choice but to fight in Kaifeng later. He stayed for a while. Now he finally heard that the war in Kaifeng was over and he immediately urged to go on the road again.
The first day Tian Hongyu decided to return happened to be Ma Mingfeng's return to Nanjing. Of course, Ma Mingfeng didn't know what he had done here, but now Chen Yuanyuan is almost trying to find a short-sighted view because of this. These sisters tried to persuade him while asking someone to plead for help.
Just at this moment, news came that Ma Mingfeng returned to Nanjing and was in charge of Hou Fangyu on the street. The sisters were happy for Ma Mingfeng's return, and on the other hand, they also felt that perhaps only Ma Mingfeng could save Chen Yuanyuan. After all, Ma Mingfeng's current official position is not low, and he also holds real power in his hands. Perhaps Tian Hongyu can sell him face.
So the sisters seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. Finally, after discussion, Bian Yujing, Bian Yujing, had always had a good relationship with Li Xiangjun, and asked Ma Mingfeng for help.
Bian Yujing came to pay homage to Ma Mingfeng, but happened to meet Kou Baimen and talked about this matter roughly to Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen was a little anxious when he heard it, and rushed into Ma Mingfeng's house regardless of everything, which happened to destroy Ma Mingfeng's "good thing".
When Ma Mingfeng heard Kou Baimen say fun, he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Does Tian Hongyu really think that he can do whatever he wants because he is the father-in-law? Today I will let him know what regret means!"
After saying that, Ma Mingfeng informed Liu Zhaolin that he would take three hundred soldiers and go to Meixianglou together to meet Tian Hong for someone.
Because Tian Hongyu has a noble status, some local institutions have already helped to send troops to surround Meixianglou, with the purpose of preventing Chen Yuanyuan from escaping.
When Ma Mingfeng and others came outside Meixiang Tower, soldiers had already stepped forward to stop him and said, "This place has been requisitioned by the government, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he immediately said coldly: "Which yamen do you belong to, how dare you requisition private houses at will? Where is the official document? Who approved it?"
But I saw the leader saying disdainfully: "Oh, it seems that you know some tricks, but this thing is not easy to use here. Do you know who is here? Telling you so scared, don't open your eyes, otherwise you won't know how you died."
Ma Mingfeng laughed and said, "I know who you are talking about. You think he is a hit person. You are afraid of him, but I am not afraid, because he came to me, and that person said, let you get out, we will take the initiative here."
