It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 544

Speaking of which, the turmoil in the Princess's Mansion was quite big. When the case was not progressing, a child saw an unrecognizable corpse in the moat. Only with a jade pendant on his body can he recognize his identity. It turns out that he is the fake Lu Zhongyao who took the exam for Lu Zhongyao.

As for the real name of this fake Lu Zhongyao, it was not found out when the case was closed. Why is he said to be a fake? Because the identity of Lu Zhongyao who married Princess Huizhen is unquestionable. The trajectory of his life, relatives, neighbors, and Lu family The people of the tribe can be checked clearly, and the neighbors can tell a few stupid things he did when he was a child, and Tian's husband, the fake Lu Zhongyao, just moved to Langfang more than ten years ago. The two old men who brought Lu Zhongyao said it themselves. As for the ancestral home they said, there is no way to find out, and they can't be found at all. The one who was illiterate and married Princess Huizhen was Zhen Lu Zhongyao.

At that time, Tian's mother and son had identified on the spot that this was her husband's corpse, she almost fainted from crying, she didn't understand why, her husband was not Lu Zhongyao, she looked very sad.

The process is actually very simple. According to Lu Zhongyao, a few years ago, he hired an exam agent to help him take the exam, and the result was very smooth. This time, he hired the exam agent to continue the exam, and the result was that he directly passed the exam No.2. , he was surprised and delighted, but the good luck was not over yet. Who would have thought that on the day the list was released, he would catch a son-in-law under the list, and he would be so lucky to be valued by Princess Huizhen of the Princess's Mansion. In fact, he was also very painful at the time. Don't marry this princess, if you marry, you will be prosperous, but you are afraid of missing the mark... In the end, it was because of the arrival of Tian's mother and son that he exposed the matter of taking the exam.

As for the cause of the fake Lu Zhongyao's death, he didn't know. He said that he had been staying in the princess mansion and never went out. The imperial examination that I value so much, unexpectedly got mixed up with such a person.

It was those ministers who suffered after Lei Ting was furious.

Gao Yi and Liu Hang, two cabinet ministers, were implicated, and each was fined half a year's salary. They were both locked up at home and contemplated for three months. Every day, they would write a book of repentance and hand it over to the emperor, expressing their sincerity. For things like repentance, the government servants, invigilators, and others in the tribute courtyard were all thoroughly investigated and their homes were ransacked. This case took a whole month to finish, and more than 100 people were imprisoned in the cells of Shuntian Mansion.

As for Lu Zhongyao, he was sentenced to be beheaded by the prison guard, and he was asked to be beheaded after autumn. As for Princess Huizhen, who had already passed out from crying, no one cared about it. The princess spent a long time looking for the queen mother again. He also asked Princess Yan to go out to intercede, and even gave gifts to Liu Hang's aunt, but it turned out to be useless, and she could only be said to be unlucky.

How much the emperor attached importance to this imperial examination, he was so furious, so don't say that this matter was done by the eldest princess's son-in-law, even the empress dowager's natal family might not let it go so easily.
