The monarchs and ministers outside the Qianqing Palace were shocked to see that the paper on the ground burned by itself after being irradiated by the crystal block, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could have believed it? When they really saw it with their own eyes, a few people could understand the truth, and many more people thought it was a miracle and were shocked on the spot.

Han Fei heard the emperor's question and understood that the emperor had already understood, but he didn't explain immediately, but bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for reporting in detail later, just now Your Majesty and your lords saw the effect of the crystal block, and there are still two pieces of glass in Weichen's arms, please ask Your Majesty and your lords to see how the effect is!" ”

After that, Han Fei took out two pieces of glass from his arms, handed them to the eunuch, and instructed him to repeat the test just now, and the result was exactly the same, both of which ignited the paper on the ground. In order to verify the results of the test, Han Fei invited three more interested officials, holding glass blocks and crystal blocks, to test on the spot, and the results also ignited the paper on the ground.

At this point, the monarchs and ministers understood that the reason why the paper on the ground was ignited was because of the effect of the crystal block and the glass block, but no one could understand the reason.

When the emperor saw this, he already decided in his heart that Han Fei could solve the case, and the eyes that looked at him became more and more appreciative.

"Han Aiqing, tell me and all the adults how this paper was ignited?"

"Wechen obeys!"

Han Fei took back the crystal block and glass block from the eunuch's hand, presented it to the emperor, and said, "Weichen, please Your Majesty and all the adults take a look first, how different this crystal block and glass block are from what you usually see!" ”

The emperor today looked at two pieces of glass and a piece of crystal, and found that they all had one thing in common, and his eyes lit up, and he smiled and motioned to the eunuch next to him to hand it to the minister for inspection. After the monarch and the ministers read it once, two pieces of glass and one crystal were sent back to the emperor's imperial case.

Han Fei saluted and said, "May I ask you, have anyone seen something unusual?" ”

Someone said up: "These two pieces of glass and a piece of crystal are indeed different from what you usually see, they are not even, and the middle part is raised!" ”

"This lord is right!" Han Fei said loudly: "Your Majesty, my lords, the mystery is here, these three transparent objects are smooth and convex in the middle, and Weichen is named the convex lens, presumably all of you have seen it, and the sunlight will gather into a bright spot after passing through the convex lens." How hot the sun is today, the temperature of the bright spots gathered must be extremely high, and the paper is also ignited. ”

After a pause, Han Fei said again: "As the saying goes, seeing is believing, after you return home, you can let your subordinates polish a piece of crystal, or transparent glass, and feel it with your hands in the sun, there will definitely be a burning feeling." ”

Everyone was immersed in a wonderful feeling, and Ruan Changfeng, the head assistant of the cabinet, suddenly sneered: "Lord Han's ingenious skills are indeed amazing, but today is not the time for you to show off your talents, Lord Han just said that he wanted to point out the culprit of the munitions fire case in public, did Lord Han mean that someone was holding a polished so-called convex lens, and he could ignite the munitions inside through the warehouse?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone also talked about it, even if the convex lens can ignite military supplies, but the warehouse is closed, and it is impossible to ignite the objects inside through the wall.

The emperor looked at Han Fei and said, "Han Aiqing must have an explanation, right?" ”

At this time, Han Fei didn't sell the guanzi, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen took over the order to investigate the military fire case, first came to the Criminal Department to check the file, and found no suspicious points, and went to the warehouse of the fire early the next morning to check the scene. Thanks to His Majesty Hongfu, Wechen accidentally found a strange bright spot on the ground, along with the bright spot, Wechen saw that there was a tile on the roof of the warehouse house that was transparent in the middle, so he thought of the principle of the convex lens, and Wechen asked His Majesty to send someone to the treasury to take the roof tile to verify on the spot! ”

The emperor immediately ordered the guards of Jinyi Mansion to fetch the roof tiles, and it took only half an hour for the horses to go back and forth, and the monarchs and ministers saw a transparent piece of the roof tiles, which was no different from the glass polished by Han Fei, and they were all silent.

There are many officials who went in to check the burning warehouse, who would notice that unusual bright spot? Even if someone saw it, without Han Fei's knowledge, they would never have thought that this had anything to do with the munitions fire case.

Han Fei immediately made a closing statement: "Your Majesty, my lords, this military fire case is a natural disaster, and it is also caused by many accidents. The transparency of the transparent block in the middle of this roof tile is not high, although it has the effect of aggregating sunlight, but the effect is not strong, an important reason for the tragedy is that it has been dry recently, the weather is very hot, and this roof tile happens to be facing a very flammable leather armor! ”

The munitions fire case was solved, but what was left behind was a sigh, such a big loss, but in the end it was a natural disaster. However, the officials of the joint investigation team breathed a sigh of relief, the case was finally cracked within the time limit, and they arrested a large number of corrupt officials, even if they did not take credit, they would not be punished.

Now the most embarrassing thing is the cabinet chief assistant Ruan Changfeng, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Han Fei's reputation, but he didn't want to fulfill him instead.

The emperor glanced at the ministers in the palace, and said expressionlessly: "The loss of the military fire case is serious, the impact is bad, although it is caused by natural disasters, but the human factor also exists, why is that abnormal roof tile placed on the roof, the criminal department must investigate clearly, deal with it seriously, and the Ministry of Industry must also take this as a warning to strengthen warehouse management!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

"This case was cracked as scheduled, calming down the discussion between the government and the opposition, Han Fei made great contributions, and I was very relieved, so he was immediately crowned as a doctor of the court......"

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, hurriedly stepped out and said: "Han Fei's contribution is indeed very great, but after all, he is too young, he has only entered the Hanlin Academy for a short time, and he is still in the period of observing the government, and he has suddenly risen to prominence, which violates the laws of the imperial court!" ”

Doctor Chaolie is from the fourth grade, how long has Han Fei only been in the officialdom, and he is about to become a member of the fourth grade? The other ministers were also dumbfounded when they heard that the emperor rewarded Han Fei like this.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will not dare to accept it!" Han Fei quickly glanced at the expressions of the ministers in the palace, immediately knelt in the center of the hall, and said: "Your Majesty's long's grace to Weichen, it is difficult to repay Weichen's death, Weichen is young and knowledgeable, he has just entered the officialdom, and he is not familiar with the government and politics, how dare he accept His Majesty's reward?" Wechen knocks on His Majesty to take back his life! ”

The emperor also realized that he had been rewarded, but fortunately, Han Fei resigned on his own, and he was very relieved in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Han Aiqing is loyal to the country, understands the general situation, and I am very relieved!" Han Aiqing continued to be familiar with the government and politics in the Hanlin Academy, and was renamed a scholar of Youchunfang University! ”

The right Chunfang scholar of Zhengwupin was just a fictitious position, and Han Fei accepted it calmly. But in the eyes of the minister, it was very different, when he first entered the officialdom, he was named a bachelor from the fifth grade, and he was already a heretic, but in a few months, he became a scholar of the right Chunfang of the fifth grade, and those old officials who had been in the officialdom for several years could only cry and fall in the toilet.

"Shouzheng, you go to the room with the old man!"

After the dispersal of the court, Gong Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, summoned his protégé Han Fei into the duty room and said: "This time, Ruan Xianggong recommended you to investigate the military quartermaster case, and the intentions were clearly revealed. ”

"Teacher, the student is really a fluke!"

"There is indeed an element of luck that you were able to solve the case this time, but your erudition is the main thing. Just now in the main hall, you can thank you in time for the reward, and you are very pleased to be the teacher, otherwise you will become the target of the public! ”

"Students keep in mind the teachings of their teachers, keep their heads up, and be low-key people!"
