Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

It's a coincidence that Yingtian City has been a bit boring recently.

In the absence of other hot topics, this song "Song of Burying Flowers" that suddenly rose to the top of Yingtian Prefecture's hot search list for a while and it could not come down from there.

Countless men and women copied, chanted, and discussed like crazy...

At this moment, it seemed that this poem was the only thing in their eyes.

They would argue over the meaning of a single word.

At the same time, they would also fight over what kind of thoughts "Chen Jinnan" had when he wrote such a wonderful work.

Mr. Hu also suffered from reading comprehension in his previous life.

This life is good. After I copy out a poem, as long as it is good enough, there will be great scholars who will interpret it for me.

These people were not eyewitnesses on that day, and they didn't even know whether Chen Jinnan was old or young or where he was from.

But this does not prevent them from firmly believing that their understanding of "Song of Burying Flowers" and Chen Jinnan is correct.

If you think it is wrong, it means you don’t understand it thoroughly enough!

This crazy scene really gave Mr. Hu a lot of fun.

The value of this sensational top spot on the hot search list is undoubtedly quite high, considering that even Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it and was curious about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief after these few months.

Anyway, with a cabinet and cabinet ministers, the complicated affairs he had to deal with were reduced by more than 80%.

What's more, his fat son's methods have become more sophisticated and his prestige has become stronger, so his life has become easier.

If it were this time last year, he would not have had the time to pay attention to the poems circulating in the brothel.

This thing can neither be eaten nor worn, and it is even less likely to enhance national strength.

It's nothing more than the chatter of students and old Confucian scholars, and it's useless other than that.

At this time last year, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not care.

Don’t have that spare time!

But this year's Zhu Yuanzhang is different.

He is free and likes to play.

Because he has a Jinyiwei under his command who is good at investigating all the cases.

Therefore, as long as he wanted, there was nothing he didn't know about in the entire Yingtian Prefecture.

This was undoubtedly an unexpected help to his current gossipy mind.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was curious about what was so good about "Song of Burying Flowers" and what the author meant.

Others can only speculate on their own, and at most they will strengthen their beliefs, and then argue with others who have different opinions, or even just fight.

After all, they couldn't find the correct answer!

Then you can only guess by yourself?

But... Zhu Yuanzhang is different.

As he was in charge of the Jinyiwei, whenever his curiosity arose, he would usually call Mao Xiang over and treat him like a donkey.

"Mao Xiang, please help us check it out!"

"This time, the man whose poem caused a stir in the entire Yingtian Prefecture, Chen Jinnan, I've heard of his name before."

"It was also him during the previous imperial examination!"

"He wrote two poems, and we both thought they were pretty good, but before we could find him, he disappeared without a trace."

"Now, two years have passed, and he has popped up again!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he nodded meaningfully at Mao Xiang.

"For a talented person like this, I don't say that I have to give him a high position, but at least I can meet him!"

"If you really have the ability, I will reward you when the time comes!"

"So, Mao Xiang, it's up to you to find the person!"

Mao Xiang accepted the order without any hesitation, and then when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had no other instructions, he slowly left the Jinshen Hall.

He was just looking for someone, not an unknown one, but Chen Jinnan, who had just caused a big fuss at Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Yingtian Prefecture.

This is actually not a difficult thing for Mao Xiang.

After all, he had been to Xiaoxiang Pavilion twice.

The case was so simple that Mao Xiang was too lazy to make a big fuss about it.

He brought two errand boys with him, dressed in the flying fish uniforms that the Jinyiwei were used to, and rushed into Xiaoxiang Pavilion with a proud look on his face.

Seeing Mao Xiang, who walked in arrogancely in official clothes with a sword on his waist, and the two guards behind him, the madam of Xiaoxiang Pavilion instinctively began to frown.

But the bitterness on his face only appeared for a moment and then disappeared completely.

Then, she put on her usual gentle smile and walked up to Mao Xiang with a smile.

"Hey, what's the wind like today? Why did they invite our Commander Mao here?"

Mao Xiang looked at the madam who came closer to him, but he didn't do anything clumsy.

After all, Commander Mao is still working on his errands. If he was as cheerful as he usually is, one of his hands would have already touched the other's butt by now.

Mao Xiang glanced around and spoke loudly without any reservation.

"I came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion in person for an errand."

"Who is Lianhua? Please ask the madam to invite her out to see me!"

Hearing Mao Xiang's rude instructions, even though the madam kept cursing in her heart, she did not dare to show any resentment on her face.

If an ordinary Jinyiwei had asked for this, the madam would have been able to maneuver around by relying on the power of her boss behind her.

But now the person who came was the leader of the entire Jinyiwei, the commander Mao Xiang, so everything he said was nonsense.

Just follow my instructions.

Otherwise, Mao Xiang, who only obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders at the moment, would have clearly stated that he had an assignment.

But if there is even the slightest delay, Mao Xiang definitely wouldn't mind killing the person with a knife and then asking someone else again.

The madam's mind raced, and she turned around and asked someone to call Lianhua out.

Since there is no way to resist, it is better to cooperate more and help the other party to complete the task smoothly. That is at least a favor, right?

Soon, Lianhua came to the crowd hurriedly but cautiously.

As a result, when the madam heard that Mao Xiang actually wanted to find out who the scholar was who wrote "Song of Burying Flowers" for Lianhua that day, she almost cursed out loud.

This is such a sudden disaster!

Lianhua naturally didn't know Fang Xiaoru's real name.

But the general description of his appearance, coupled with the fact that Master Hu kept calling him "Xiao Fang" at the time, gave Mao Xiang enough clues.

In less than half an hour, Mao Xiang brought his men to Fang Xiaoru.

Looking at the Jinyiwei in front of him, Fang Xiaoru was almost scared to death.

Jinyiwei is looking for him?

How could this be a good thing?

As a result, as soon as Mao Xiang opened his mouth, Fang Xiaoru was also dumbfounded.

what?

You guys came to me with all this trouble, just to crack Mr. Hu's vest?

But Master Hu didn't ask us to keep it a secret.

Then just tell me!

At this point, the identity of Chen Jinnan, the "brothel poet" during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, was completely exposed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

What?

Is it mediocrity again?
