Chapter 34:-for-tat
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yuan deliberately did not wear the cotton armor of the brocade guard, but changed into a brocade suit with wide sleeves, and hid the DV machine and spare batteries in his sleeves.
He discussed a few words with Cao Huachun, and then went straight out of the door and went to Tian Hongyu's mansion.
Tian Hongyu's mansion is in the iron lion alley of Renshoufang in the capital, and it is named after a pair of iron lions cast in Renshoufang in the Yuan Dynasty. But this pair of iron lions had already been obtained by Tian Hongyu and placed at the door of his mansion to demonstrate his solemnity.
Fang Yuan came to the door of Tianfu and saw the pair of mighty and majestic iron lions at a glance, which was extraordinary, and Tian Hongyu's flying and domineering appearance could be seen.
He directly explained his intention to the servant at the door, and came to meet Tian Hongyu on the order of Concubine Tian.
The servants had already gotten the news and immediately introduced Fang Yuan to Tianfu.
The huge Tianfu houses are splendid, the buildings and pavilions, one after another, all the way, Fang Yuan is breathtaking.
Tian Hongyu had already received a message from the palace, and Tian Guifei would send someone to inquire, because Tian Guifei was seriously ill and could not leave the palace, and as a foreign minister, it was inconvenient for him to enter the palace, and it did not cause much alarm.
But when Tian Hong met that the person sent by Tian Guifei for questioning was the old enemy Fang Yuan, he faintly felt a little uneasy.
The scene was polite, Fang Yuan didn't have to rush to turn on the DV machine, as if he had seen a friend for many years, he laughed and greeted Tian Hongyu, "Tian Guozhang, farewell to Jiangnan, we meet again, Tianfu is missing Chen Yuan, a famous prostitute in Suzhou, and it is really a little less colorful, haha!" ”
Fang Yuan deliberately moved out of the old matter of Tian Hongyu occupying Chen Yuanyuan in Jiangnan, just to provoke Tian Hongyu, only if someone is really angry, it is possible to lose his words.
Tian Hongyu didn't have the anger that Fang Yuan expected, put on a smile like entertainment, and returned the salute with him, saying, "During Fang Zongqi's detention, not only can he move around, but he can also get the support of the concubine Niangniang, and the power of the celebrant and the Jinyi guard is really impressive!" ”
This Tian Hongyu was indeed more difficult than Fang Yuan estimated, not only was he not provoked, but he was even beaten with a beating, and targeted the dereliction of duty of the master of ceremonies and the Jinyi guard.
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "The national master is joking, Jinyiwei is just doing some errands for the concubine, what power can he have?" No, I'm the concubine who came to ask a few words. ”
He brought the conversation back to business in a few words, and Tian Hongyu said with a faceless face, "Say it!" ”
Fang Yuan looked at the servants and maids in the courtyard, it was not convenient to speak, in this environment, he wanted to show Tian Hongyu's truth, it was a fool's dream, so he said, "It's about the secret of the concubine, let's find a secluded place!" ”
Tian Hongyu nodded, took Fang Yuan around the mansion a few times, and finally came to the sparsely populated backyard and arrived at a three-story observation building.
Tian Hongyu led Fang Yuan to the third floor, the seat of the observation tower was very good, whether anyone was eavesdropping, and he could have a condescending view.
The male servants and maidservants of Tianfu served tea on the two tables, as well as fresh fruits and pastries.
After the tea, fresh fruits, and pastries were served, Tian Hongyu ordered all the maids and maids to retire, and strictly ordered no one to go up to the observation tower, leaving only himself and Fang Yuan.
It seems that Tian Hongyu's vigilance is indeed very strong, and he will never give Fang Yuan any chance to get a confession and turn the tables.
Fang Yuan took advantage of Tian Hongyu's tea to drink tea, secretly turned on the DV machine in his wide sleeves, rested his sleeves on the table, and aimed the camera at Tian Hongyu.
When the candid shooting was ready, Fang Yuan stopped beating around the bush and asked straight to the point, "The first question of the noble concubine is whether Tian Guozhang has embezzled 40,000 taels of gold?" ”
Tian Hongyu really didn't find the clue in his sleeve, and began to deal with Fang Yuan with a made up rhetoric, "No, last year, His Majesty ordered the ministers to raise donations, and I have donated three thousand taels of silver with all my family wealth, if there are really forty thousand taels of gold, and the national disaster is at the head, why am I still hiding?" The 40,000 taels of gold weren't the money obtained by Fang Zongqi blackmailing the merchants in Jiangnan and colluding with Taoyuan? ”
Fang Yuan admired him for talking nonsense in front of his face, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he continued to ask, "The second question, Tian Guozhang went to Jiangnan with 40,000 taels of gold, is he ready to escape and transfer his family wealth in the event of a national disaster?" also colluded with the Donglin Party members in Suzhou Prefecture to leave a way out in advance? ”
Tian Hongyu's face was slightly stunned, and he instantly regained his composure, smiled and said, "I, Tian Hongyu, am a dignified national abbot, born as the abbot of the Ming Dynasty, and died as the ghost of the Ming Dynasty. Fang Zongqi, you are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”
Fang Yuan saw that he was still disguised in private, he was really a difficult enemy, and he had to change the way he interrogated, so he sped up the speed of the inquiry, and his voice was a few degrees higher, "The third question, Tian Guozhang went to Jiangnan to find beauty this time, why didn't he inform the concubine Niangniang in advance?" ”
"That's the concubine Niangniang is seriously ill, and it's inconvenient for me to enter the palace."
Fang Yuan didn't give him a chance to think at all, and continued to ask, "In Tian Guozhang's plan to avoid trouble in Jiangnan, is there a plan to arrange the concubine Niangniang?!" ”
His words hit Tian Hongyu's vital point, Tian Hongyu was stunned on the spot, and said in a deep voice, "The concubine Niangniang is seriously ill, and the journey is bumpy, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Jiangnan." ”
Fang Yuan asked sharply, "The concubine is indeed seriously ill, what about the two little princes of the concubine?" Does the grandfather have any plans?! ”
Faced with Fang Yuan's fierce pursuit and fierce attack that hit the vital point, Tian Hongyu suddenly felt overwhelmed, and said hesitantly, "This, two little princes, I have my own arrangements." ”
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Fang Yuan shouted 'yes' three times in a row, and then sneered and said, "Tian Guozhang, the so-called people are not ruthless, not to mention that it is your biological daughter who is lying on the sickbed, and you have won all the glory and wealth of your biological daughter, before she dies, you still don't want to tell the truth?" ”
Tian Hongyu's face began to twitch slightly, obviously struggling in his heart, hesitating, Fang Yuan continued to add fuel to his fire, "The only thing that the concubine can't worry about is the princess, and the future of the two little princes, in this attic, the words of the princess only God knows, you know and I know, is the princess of the country going to make the concubine die?!" ”
Tian Hongyu trembled suddenly, his hands supported the railing of the attic, his eyes crossed Fang Yuan, staring into the distance, the scenes of his daughter Tian Xiuying from childhood to adulthood came to mind one by one, and the gloomy atmosphere on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of deep love for licking calves.
For a long time, Tian Hongyu still sat dumbfounded, without saying a word.
Fang Yuan estimated that since the two of them went up to the attic, 20 minutes had passed since the conversation, and together with the time that Tian Hongyu was in a daze, at least 60 minutes had passed, and if he continued to delay like this, the first battery would be almost out of power.
But at the critical juncture when Tian Hongyu was entangled in his heart, whether to reveal the truth, Fang Yuan couldn't urge, so as not to backfire, so he could only wait anxiously.
"Toot toot!"
Another 10 minutes passed, and the DV machine in Fang Yuan's sleeve made an inopportune sound that the battery was about to run out.
At this juncture, there was such a fork, if Tian Hongyu's suspicion was aroused, everything would be over!
Tian Hongyu's thoughts were really interrupted by this hurried and strange prompt sound, his eyes fell on Fang Yuan's body, the voice came from his direction, and asked in a deep voice, "Fang Zongqi, what are you hiding, why did you make a sound?" ”
"It's over! was still discovered by Tian Hongyu! ”
Fang Yuan's heart gradually sank, and he was desperately thinking in his mind, how to explain to Tian Hongyu in order to get through the trick?
