Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1905

Xiaochao the next day.

It stands to reason that Qin Tian doesn't go to court very much, there are so many things going on in Jingzhao Mansion, where does he have time to stand in the main hall and listen to other people talking about the situation.

But today, he came.

After seeing Qin Tian appearing in the early court, many people guessed something, and they were afraid that Qin Tian would make trouble.

And things are indeed like this, Qin Tian just wants to make things happen.

Not long after the morning court started, Qin Tian stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have made new progress regarding the case between Lu Chen from the Criminal Department and an old woman. I want to close this matter in the hall today. Please allow me."

Usually Xiaochao didn't have any important matters, especially today, so Qin Tian dared to say that.

However, after he finished speaking, some people in the court still complained.

"This Qin Tian is really going too far. Is the place above the court to solve such trivial matters?"

"Who says it's not? Relying on the favor of the Holy One, he is becoming more and more lawless."

"That's right, that's right, can't this kind of thing be solved in Jingzhao Mansion, why should it be above the court?"

"That's right, really..."

There were a lot of complaints from the crowd, but Qin Tian pretended not to know. He just waited for Li Shimin's words. Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. He also felt that it was a bit inappropriate to talk about it in the early court. The early court was a more solemn court meeting. How could such a case be resolved? Woolen cloth?

However, he believed that Qin Tian was not the kind of person who made trouble out of no reason. Since he did this, he must have some ideas of his own.

After a moment of hesitation, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes."

After Li Shimin agreed, he asked: "Qin Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I want to see what kind of case this is."

Qin Tian nodded, and said: "My lord, we have already found out some information about Lu Chen from Lu Chen's hometown. According to the news sent by the county magistrate of Lu Chen's hometown, the old woman is indeed Lu Chen's mother, but the Ministry of Justice That Lu Chen is definitely not the real Lu Chen. The real Lu Chen disappeared three years ago, but this Lu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment wants to pretend to be the real Lu Chen to take the imperial examination, which is very strange. "

As he spoke, Qin Tian handed over some of the news they had inquired about.

After Li Shimin looked at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "These evidences are enough to prove that Lu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment is a fake person, and his name is not Lu Chen."

After saying this, the officials in the main hall were a little shocked, and then they made a noise, but at this time, Tong Yang, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, suddenly passed out. This blow was too great for him.

All this time, he thought that his son-in-law was pretty good, but he never thought that he was not Lu Chen, he was actually a fake person, why would he do this?
Tong Yang didn't have time to think about it anymore, his head was in a daze, and he even wondered if the Tong family would be implicated if the matter was true.

Because of Tong Yang's fainting, the hall panicked for a while, but after Tong Yang was taken down, the hall quickly restored order. At this time, Qin Tian continued: "My lord, when the imperial examination took place, a man named Zhang Liang Missing, I suspect that this Lu Chen is that Zhang Liang, and the real Lu Chen has been killed by him, but the people in Zhang Liang's hometown have been burned to death, so we can't find any evidence to prove that he is Zhang Liang, but He is not Lu Chen, but he is sure, and now, I suggest that Lu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment be called to the main hall and questioned face to face, so that we all know what is going on."

The whole process is similar to trial. Qin Tian can put this matter in Jingzhao Mansion to do it, but he wants to do it in the main hall, in order to increase the pressure on Lu Chen from the Criminal Department. As long as he has the pressure , he is prone to some flaws.

Otherwise, in the Jingzhao Mansion, if he insisted on not letting go, then they would be very troublesome.

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Shimin didn't hesitate, just nodded and agreed.

Not long after, Lu Chen from the Criminal Department was called up. Although Lu Chen looked calm at this time, his legs were a little weak when walking. Obviously, he had never seen such a battle as Jiang Nantang.

"Zhang Liang, kneel down."

Li Shimin suddenly drank loudly, obviously he already understood Qin Tian's routine, and after he shouted, Lu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment suddenly felt a pain in his head, and knelt down with a plop.

And when he knelt like this, everything became clear.

"You are indeed Zhang Liang who disappeared three years ago. I am here to ask you, why did you pretend to be Lu Chen's name to take part in the imperial examination?"

Qin Tian said, that Lu Chen from the Ministry of Punishment also knew that he had exposed his secrets at this time, but he was a little dazed and could no longer keep calm.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he shouted loudly: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my lord, I'm wronged, I'm not Zhang Liang, no, just now I was scared, really scared..."

At this time, Zhang Liang actually wanted to quibble, Li Shimin snorted: "You are not Zhang Liang, then who are you, Lu Chen? This is Lu Chen."

As he said that, Li Shimin threw down the portrait of Lu Chen and other things that Qin Tian had handed over, just in front of Zhang Liang. After he took a look, he realized that he was now powerless to defend himself.

The facts are already in front of his eyes, and after seeing that portrait of Lu Chen, he feels his back is even colder.

"Come on, why did you pretend to be Lu Chen to take the imperial examination? Where is the real Lu Chen?"

Li Shimin asked, Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, and then finally said: "Your Majesty, I am indeed not Lu Chen, and my name is indeed Zhang Liang, but I did not kill Lu Chen. That Lu Chen is a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for an exam. At the beginning, I was also a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. After the two of us met, we went together. However, that Lu Chen was unlucky and a little unaccustomed to the weather here. One day he fell ill, and he was very sick. Although I helped him I found a doctor to see him, but in the end he was not cured. Before he died, he told me that he had a mother. He didn’t want his mother to know that he had a medical history. He knew that I was an orphan and had no relatives at home. , so he hoped that I could go to Beijing to take the exam instead of him. In this case, his mother would have some thoughts, and there would be no problems. I liked that Lu Chen very much at the time, and I was very moved when I saw him being filial. , thinking that I was alone, and using his name to take the exam was just a change of name, so I agreed. Who would have thought that after using his name, the minister would actually be admitted as a Jinshi, and even become a Master Tong's son-in-law."
