The imperial examination corruption case was solved by Zhao Yi and Li Lang in less than a day.

Yang Qi, the head of the household department, confessed to his crimes, and when he signed the detention, he was arrested and sent to the prison of the criminal department.

After Zhao Yi finished interrogating Yang Qi, he said to Li Lang: "Lord Wang, if it weren't for your loan bookkeeping method, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to quickly crack the case of the Gongyuan, here, I still want to thank the prince." ”

Li Lang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a lot of effort, it's nothing to worry about, now, the culprit has been caught, and the invigilators involved in corruption in the Gongyuan have also been arrested, so that the students can be given justice, and they can also give the court and His Majesty an errand." ”

"yes."

Zhao Yi nodded and said: "There are still eight days, this spring festival will be over, Lord Wang, if we insist on it, we must give an explanation to the students this time, and also have an explanation to the imperial court." ”

Li Lang nodded.

Zhao Yi is really a good official who asks for life for the people.

Zhao Yi said happily at this time:

"Lord Wang, we were able to crack the corruption case of the Gongyuan so quickly, and those students who took the exam will definitely be grateful to you, Lord Wang, and these people, among them, must have Zhongjin Shi, and there are also the top three on the top list, and they will definitely be able to stand on the side of Lord Wang in the future."

As long as these people are cultivated well, they will definitely be able to become princes and useful ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future. ”

Li Lang looked at him and said noncommittally: "Lord Zhao, these things have not yet been decided, you are thinking a little too much, these students you just mentioned, who knows if you will be grateful to me in the future."

I never care what others think, I just care about my own comfort. ”

"Yes, the lower official has been taught."

Zhao Yi nodded, and then went to the Gongyuan with Li Lang.

In the next few days, from the tenth day of the first month of March to the nineteenth day of March, Li Lang has been living in the Gongyuan, although he does not have to take exams, but he has been staying in one place, which is quite boring and empty.

However, because he and Zhao Yi quickly cracked the imperial examination fraud case and the corruption case of the Gongyuan, the entire imperial examination atmosphere and examination environment have changed greatly.

The candidates were treated to new bedding, new urinals and toilets, as well as new candles, ink, and brushes.

The moment Li Lang asked people to open the treasury of Gongyuan, he saw that the daily necessities such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, quilts, urinals, etc. in the warehouse were piled up.

But many of them are left unused, and there are some items that look like they haven't even been unpacked.

However, Yang Qi and those people just don't use it for the candidates.

They resold these exams and daily necessities bought with the imperial court money at a price higher than the price they bought, making the difference in the middle.

And these can't be sold, and they don't even have the idea of giving them to the candidates.

What a bunch of scum, a bunch of scum.

When Li Lang asked someone to distribute these daily necessities and exam supplies to the students, in the number room, those students looked at Li Lang and Zhao Yi differently.

This year's examiner, as well as the attendant, is fantastic.

In addition to giving them what they should have, Li Lang also instructed the people of the Gongyuan to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for the candidates.

When the examinees learned about this, their hearts became even more grateful.

Of course, Zhao Yi, a loyal supporter of Li Lang, did not forget to remind the candidates that these things were all won by Li Lang, the prince of Xiang, when distributing quilts, urinals, and the four treasures of the study.

In the eight days after the Spring Festival, many candidates regarded Li Lang as a reborn parent.

Without him, this Spring Festival would have lost the most fundamental fairness as before.

Without him, it would be difficult for the candidates to solve even the basic food problems.

Li Lang is like a fire in winter, warming the weak hearts of candidates.

During Li Lang's nine days in the Gongyuan, Empress Hu was not idle.

She's planning her own big things.

On this day of March 11, she took people to live in Daming Palace, the emperor's residence.

And Emperor Jin is weak, and he doesn't have a few days to live, so naturally he won't sleep with Queen Hu.

In the Daming Palace, there are many side halls.

Empress Hu chose a slightly spacious side hall and stayed there.

She also moved a lot of items for daily life, like a little daughter-in-law who has not returned from her parents' home for a long time.

Emperor Jin was very puzzled by the queen's actions, but he didn't want to deal with this woman.

His time is running out, and he has to arrange his younger brother, Li Yanxin, the king of Xiang, as the prince as soon as possible.

For Empress Hu to stay in Daming Palace, he naturally did not want to drive the other party away, and it would be said that he was a dignified emperor and was afraid of a woman, and the rumors that the emperor and queen were not compatible with each other would spread the rumors, which would hurt the royal dignity.

Therefore, Emperor Jin and Empress Hu, during the period from March 11 to March 18, began to get along with each other very strangely.

Two people live under the same roof, and it is inevitable that they will not look up and look down.

When Empress Hu saw Emperor Jin, she had no expression on her face.

When Emperor Jin saw Empress Hu, his face was even more expressionless.

The two seemed to just glance at each other, and then went straight back to their dormitory.

The Cold War has been going on.

I didn't even eat together.

However, outside the palace, I don't know who spread the rumor, saying that the queen and the emperor will be reconciled, and the Jin Kingdom will be peaceful in the world.

Of course, this kind of rumor is also spread by the people who don't know the situation outside, and people who really know the matter will not believe it, everyone is just guessing, why does Empress Hu go to the emperor's palace these days, does she have any ulterior secrets?

No one knows the secret of Empress Hu, and only the people of Taohuawei may know.

On March 19, the imperial examination came to an end.

Li Lang also returned to the palace from the Gongyuan.

He naturally heard about Empress Hu, he didn't have a chance to enter the palace these days, and heard Mingyue tell him that Empress Hu was a little abnormal these days.

Li Lang nodded, planning to go into the palace on March 20 to have a look, and ask Nangong Rong.

This Nangong Rong is now also her lover, she is one of the most trusted people around Queen Hu, so in addition to getting some physical comfort from her, she can also know many secrets of Queen Hu.

However, on the evening of March 19, Miao Renfeng, who had been guarding Mei Changsu's courtyard, suddenly came from the secret passage of Su Mansion to the study of the palace.

The first thing he did when he saw Li Lang was to tell Li Lang that Empress Hu wanted to see Mei Changsu tonight.

At that time, Li Lang was sitting in the study reading a book, which was the first time he had read a book so seriously.

When he heard Miao Renfeng's words, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: "What? It's so late, do you want to call Mei Changsu into the palace? What does she want to do? ”
