Chapter 143 Framed
Seeing Xia Hanyu, several adults quickly saluted.
"I'm sorry to hear that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is a thousand years old."
"A few adults are exempt from the courtesy."
Xia Hanyu passed them and walked towards the emperor. He carefully observed his father and found that he did not look angry.
"Why did the father call his daughter to come?"
She felt that there was no need for her to be present for this matter today.
Emperor: "Aren't you concerned about boiling sugar cane into sugar? Zuo Wen is here today, so you can ask him."
Xia Hanyu nodded, "That's good."
As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Zuo Wen behind him.
Zuo Wen was already kneeling on the ground, saying hello, but did not stand up.
After Jin Yiwei said hello, he stood up and still stood behind him, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
"Zuo Wen, do you have anything to say about the reports made by your colleagues in the Salt Transportation Department?"
Zuo Wen bent over and kowtowed, "I can't complain. I don't have a supervisor and I stole it myself, but I don't have any evidence."
Although he didn't know what evidence those people provided, he really had no evidence to prove that he was wronged. Moreover, the snow salt and the sugar made from the sugar cane given by His Highness were all found in his residence.
The emperor didn't say anything, nor did he ask about his guilt. Instead, he asked Xia Hanyu.
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
Xia Hanyu: "My daughter heard that the current salt transport officer in the Salt Transport Department is very old and will soon be serving as an official. Is this true?"
The emperor nodded, "It is indeed true, and he already sent the memorial of resignation to my desk yesterday."
That means, just wait for the emperor to agree.
"Yu'er means that those people framed Zuo Wen for this position?"
What the emperor said was frame-up meant that he didn't believe the so-called evidence at all.
Xia Hanyu nodded and took two steps in Zuo Wen's direction.
"Zuo Wen, I remember that besides you, there should be one other person in charge of the Salt Transportation Department."
Zuo Wen was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Your Highness, you mean that he is framing Wei Chen?"
He seemed a little unbelievable and a little reluctant to believe it.
"Wei Chen and Hu Zan were transferred to Beijing at the same time. He has a simple mind and shouldn't be able to..."
Xia Hanyu didn't hear him finish and directly interrupted him to mention other people's excuses.
"No matter how simple a person is, he will change when he encounters what he wants."
"It's like many people initially wanted to be an official for the sake of the people, but one day they became an official and did things that harmed the people. This does not mean that he was not good enough, but that he failed to protect his heart.
kind hearted."
"Zuo Wen, you guarded yourself, but he didn't."
Zuo Wen was a little decadent and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, now is not the time to be sad; I would like to ask you, how is the sugar cane that was handed over to you earlier?"
"Your Highness, I have extracted the two thousand sugar canes into the white sugar and brown sugar you mentioned."
"One sugar cane can produce thirty grams of white sugar, but only two grams of brown sugar."
To be honest, Zuo Wen was heartbroken when he was boiling the brown sugar.
"So few." Xia Hanyu was a little surprised.
The system is really stingy and only gave me two thousand.
In other words, if all 2,000 sugar canes are used to boil white sugar, then only 60,000 grams of white sugar can be obtained, which is 120 kilograms.
What can you do with just one hundred and twenty pounds!
What if it is boiled into brown sugar?
