Chapter 274: The Culprit

-->

Han Fei left the munitions warehouse and went directly to the kiln factory where the glass was fired, and instructed the steward to do his best to fire the items he needed regardless of the cost in the past two days.

Although the glazed kiln factory has already fired some semi-finished products of glaze, he is not sure whether it can fire the items that Han Fei needs. Leaving the kiln factory, he thought about it and rushed to the Beijing Palace.

"Brother Han, why do you have time to come to Xiaowang's Mansion at this time?" Zhang Shuirong, the king of Beijing, already knew that the emperor ordered Han Fei to investigate the military fire case, and it was very strange to see that he did not go to investigate the case and suddenly came to the palace.

Han Fei Shili said: "Weichen came to ask the prince for help today!" ”

King Beijing mistakenly thought that Han Fei came to ask him to intercede with the emperor because he couldn't solve the case, so he said: "This case is really tricky, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ruan Xianggong has ulterior motives for recommending Brother Han, and he really can't solve the case, and the emperor won't blame Brother Han!" ”

"Lord, Weichen is not here to ask you to intercede with the emperor, but to ask the prince for something!"

"Oh? Whatever Brother Han needs, as long as this king has it, he can take it! ”

"Lord Wang, Wei Chen heard that you have a crystal last time, can you give this thing to Wei Chen?"

"Crystals?"

Although the crystal is good, it is just a plaything, and King Beijing really doesn't understand why Han Fei is not in a hurry to investigate the case, so he can't help but ask suspiciously: "What is the use of Brother Han wanting this thing?" ”

Han Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from the prince, Weichen already has some eyebrows about the military fire case......

"What? You just took over the investigation, and you found the clues in less than a day? King Beijing stared at Han Fei with an expression of disbelief, and then said hurriedly: "Brother Han, tell me quickly, who is so bold and reckless as to create this big case?" ”

Han Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Wang, the military fire case has a lot to do with it, although Wechen has found a little eyebrows, but speaking of it, it is too unbelievable, please forgive Wechen for not being able to say it for the time being!" Wei Chen asked the prince for the crystal, just to verify how likely the clues were! ”

King Beijing understood that what Han Fei said was the truth, and said: "It is not easy for Brother Han to find the suspicious point so quickly, it can be seen that the saint has the wisdom to know people!" Xiao Wang's crystal has been given to the Ninth Princess, Brother Han can go to the Princess's Mansion to get it, Xiao Wang is waiting for Brother Han to find the culprit of the fire case as soon as possible! ”

With the relationship between Han Fei and the Ninth Princess Zhang Wanyi, you can get the crystal by sending someone to the Princess's Mansion, but for the sake of safety, Han Fei asked King Beijing to send someone to the Princess's Mansion to let the Ninth Princess personally send the crystal to the palace.

"Brother Wang, this crystal was just given to my little sister, why do you want to get it back...... Oh, Brother Han, why are you in the palace? ”

The ninth princess held a delicate box, walked in from the door with her mouth puffed out, and suddenly saw Han Fei, she was very surprised.

Zhang Shuirong, the king of Beijing, said with a smile: "Ninth sister, it's not for my brother to get it back, it's your brother Han who wants crystals!" ”

The ninth princess, Zhang Wanyi, ignored the ridicule of King Beijing, walked to Han Fei's side, and said strangely: "Brother Han, what do you want crystals?" This crystal is very beautiful, and if this palace likes it, you are not allowed to give it to others! ”

"Princess, Weichen wants crystals to solve the case!" Han Fei took the box from the hands of the ninth princess, took out a slap of crystal, and said happily: "Great, it saved me a lot of time to polish!" ”

The Ninth Princess asked curiously, "Brother Han, how can this crystal solve the case?" ”

"This ...... I'll know in two days, I'm going to trim this crystal, the prince, the princess, and Weichen will leave first! ”

When Han Fei returned to the mansion, he locked himself in a secret room, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time inside. The women in the family didn't know what he was doing, and the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi wanted to inquire, but he was also blocked.

The deadline for the munitions fire case is approaching, and some people see that Han Fei has been staying in the mansion and not going to investigate and collect evidence, some are puzzled, some are sneering, some are worried, and of course some are happy.

On the eve of the deadline, Han Fei finally finished polishing the crystal, and at the same time, the manager of the glazed kiln factory also sent two items he needed.

The attention of the government and the public in the munitions fire case caused a great shock in the capital, and after the deadline for solving the case was over, the emperor ordered the joint investigation team to publicize the results of the investigation in public at the court meeting.

Han Fei was not a regular court official, and he was temporarily involved in the investigation of the case, so he did not need to enter the palace with the officials of the court. He waited outside the palace for the emperor's meeting, looking at the very hot sunshine that had not been rising for a long time, and his heart became more and more calm.

It seems that today's court meeting has a lot of matters on its agenda, and it was almost mid-afternoon when it was the turn of the joint investigation team to report on the results of the investigation of the munitions fire case. As expected, although a large number of corrupt officials involved in the munitions fire case were arrested, the culprit of the munitions fire case was not found.

Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, glanced at the officials of the joint investigation team who were kneeling in the center of the main hall to plead guilty, and gave the court class a look, and immediately someone went out to report to the emperor, Han Fei was also an investigation official in this case, and he should go to the palace to explain the results of the investigation.

The emperor immediately ordered the eunuch on duty to declare Han Fei to enter the palace.

Han Fei walked slowly into the main hall, and beside the officials of the joint investigation team, he knelt down to the emperor and shouted long live.

The emperor had already received a hint from King Beijing, but he still couldn't believe that Han Fei could crack the case in just three days, well, it is said that the real investigation was only half a day. He stared at Han Fei and took a deep look, and said calmly: "Han Aiqing is flat!" I wonder what the outcome of Han Aiqing's investigation into this case is? ”

Han Fei got up and bowed again, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has already found some eyebrows, just need to verify ......"

"Eyebrows? Hum! Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, reprimanded: "This official heard that you, Lord Han, did not go to investigate the case at all in the three days, but stayed in the mansion, you don't think about being diligent to repay the Holy Long's grace, but you still want to talk nonsense here, intending to delay time?" ”

Han Fei glanced at Ruan Changfeng and said lightly: "How does Lord Ruan know that the lower official has been in the mansion all along, could it be that he sent someone to follow the lower official?" ”

"Nonsense!" It is a big crime to follow the imperial court officials privately, Ruan Changfeng hurriedly defended: "You, Lord Han, have not left the house for three days, who doesn't know?" ”

Han Fei didn't bother to pay attention to Ruan Changfeng, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Wechen has indeed found an important suspicion in this case, Wechen has the courage to ask His Majesty to move outside the palace, and Wechen wants to find out the culprit of the fire case in public!" ”

"Quasi-play!"

The emperor knew that Han Fei would not talk nonsense, so he immediately set up outside the Qianqing Palace and sat on the chairs temporarily moved by the eunuchs, and the courtiers also stood on both sides in confusion.

Han Fei handed the polished crystal block to a eunuch and gave a few instructions. The eunuch took some paper and put it on the ground, then held the crystal block to the sun, and set the angle and distance, and everyone saw a strange bright spot appear on the paper.

"Ah, it's burning, it's burning!" When everyone saw that no one had lit a fire on the paper, it had burned itself, and they exclaimed, and someone seemed to have discovered something from it, and was silent.

The current emperor was also shocked, and suddenly thought that Han Fei's move must have a deep meaning, so he stood up abruptly and said: "Han Aiqing, the military fire case is not ......"
