After Zhu Di left, the maid Ying 'er brought Chu Nan around the courtyard.
Ying 'er was eighteen this year. She had a plump figure, fair skin, and a faint fragrance on her body.
When she spoke, she spoke in a soft voice, as gentle as a young lady from a wealthy family.
She patiently explained the purpose of each room to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan nodded as he listened.
Under Ying 'er's introduction, he finally understood how big and luxurious this house was.
There were a total of 200 rooms in the courtyard.
The main room, the east and west wing rooms, the reverse seat room, the side room, and the back room divided the entire courtyard into more than ten parts.
There were more than ten guest rooms.
This was something that Chu Nan did not dare to imagine in the future.
He would never have thought that he would become such a tycoon after transmigrating to Da Ming for just a day.
As he thought about it, he and Ying 'er walked into the bedroom.
Ying 'er smiled and said,"Old Master…No, Young Master, this is your bedroom."”
Ying 'er's voice was very pleasant to the ears. Her voice was just like her name, as intoxicating as a yellow oriole out of the valley.
Chu Nan nodded and pushed the door open.
The bedroom was very big, and the faint scent of sandalwood filled the air.
Sunlight shone through the hollowed-out carved windows.
All kinds of luxurious decorations were hung in the room.
In the deepest part of the room was a soft wooden bed. It was exquisitely decorated with carvings.
A clean and brand-new brocade quilt was neatly laid on the bed.
Chu Nan could not help but sigh. The efficiency of these people was truly amazing!
In just one night, he had tidied up such a big house.
Step by step, he walked towards the soft bed and reached out to touch the blanket.
The quilt was made of high-quality silk. It felt extremely smooth and a little cold.
Chu Nan exerted force and sat on the bed, feeling the softness and elasticity.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chu Nan nodded.
After sleeping on the hard bed for the entire night, his entire back was aching.
Even though he knew that sleeping on a hard bed was good for his body, as a person from the future, Chu Nan still preferred a soft bed.
He waved at Ying 'er and said,"You can go down first. I'm going to rest for a while. If there's nothing else, don't call me.”
Chu Nan was too tired.
Yesterday, he had been scheming against Old Zhu for the whole day. He had almost stayed up all night. Now, his upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting.
He desperately needed to go back to sleep.
"Yes, Ying 'er understands." Ying 'er replied gently and carefully retreated.
Chu Nan took a deep breath and fell onto the bed.
"I still like soft beds!"
……
At this moment, in the imperial court.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the silent ministers.
After discussing the state affairs, these ministers clearly had something to say.
But he didn't dare to speak.
The entire court was silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask and just looked at the ministers indifferently.
Time slowly passed.
At this moment, one of the officials finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He stepped forward and asked carefully,""Your Majesty, please reconsider Chu Nan's matter!”
This person was called Sima Sheng, and his official position was a member of the branch.
The branch was under the Ministry of Revenue and was responsible for planning and calculating expenses.
In the court yesterday, although Old Zhu had ordered that no news of Chu Nan's matter should be leaked.
However, many officials still secretly sent people to investigate.
The results of the investigation were the same as Old Zhu's.
Chu Nan appeared out of thin air from a beam of light.
At this moment, the officials who were skeptical completely believed that Chu Nan came from the future.
Early this morning, Sima Sheng heard from the eunuch in the palace that Zhu Yuanzhang had a conversation with Chu Nan late at night.
Therefore, Sima Sheng panicked.
There was no other reason than that Sima Sheng was a corrupt official!
All these years, he had embezzled no less than a million taels of silver!
Therefore, he was afraid of Chu Nan, who came from the future.
If Chu Nan told Zhu Yuanzhang about his corruption, even if Sima Sheng had ten or a hundred heads, it would not be enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to chop them off.
However, Sima Sheng was thinking too much.
During the Hongwu period, the salary of the imperial court was extremely low. How many corrupt officials were there?
In fact, Chu Nan did not even know about him.
"Oh?" On the dragon throne, a bright light swept down. Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice,"Zhen, think twice about what?"
The voice was majestic, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
"Your Majesty." Another official stood up and said,"It is still unknown whether Chu Nan came from 700 years later.”
Of course, he couldn't say that he had investigated it in private.
The minister paused for a moment and continued,"However, this humble subject believes that this person spoke nonsense in the court yesterday and disturbed the hearts of the people.”
"That's right." Sima Sheng also said," Your Majesty, this person knows yao arts. I'm afraid he's a demon from another country who wants to destroy our Ming Dynasty!"”
Sima Sheng spoke with a sonorous and forceful tone. Those who didn't know better would think that he was some peerless loyal minister.
Sima Sheng's words naturally resonated with all the corrupt officials in the court.
As long as Chu Nan was here, they would feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles, as if they were being stabbed in the back, as if a fishbone was stuck in their throats.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Sima said is true. Chu Nan is a person who has spread lies to deceive the public and should be punished!”
"That's right! Your Majesty, please execute Chu Nan!"
"This person is disrupting the court.”
In an instant, nearly one-third of the officials in the imperial court spoke up, criticizing Chu Nan in both words and writing.
They desperately hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would execute Chu Nan.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang just sat quietly on the dragon throne and looked down expressionlessly.
When his voice gradually quieted down, he asked,"Are you done?"
