Chapter 2282 Zhao Shutao goes to Hangzhou
If he had not been implicated, Zhao Shu would not have been specially targeted by the prefect Fu, who confiscated all of the Zhao family's properties without any reason, using such a ridiculous excuse of "rebellion". Now he has shown it to them, so what!
These properties should have been returned to Zhao Shu. Even if they had changed hands, the new owner had to give them up.
Shao Yunduan is not good at doing business, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing.
The losses Zhao Shu suffered as a result of his involvement were not limited to this. You must know that after they were forced to evacuate Hangzhou, they lost not only the industries themselves, but also the huge amount of money that could have been earned if these industries were operating normally.
Zhao Shu still suffered a loss just by returning the property.
But with his protection, his business will naturally be smoother in the future.
Zhao Shu was flattered. You know, his brother-in-law was rarely so kind to him!
Zhao Shu was flattered and shook his head repeatedly, unable to help but let out a flattering smile: "No, no, no, no need to go through so much trouble! If the property can be recovered, that would be the best. I can pay for it myself. If it really cannot be recovered, then forget it. No need to cause trouble to Fifth Brother."
Shao Yunduan raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is what I should do. It's not a big deal."
"Can--"
"Let's do it this way!" Qiao Xuan said with a smile: "In fact, even if you take back all the property, your loss will not be small, but we have to look forward, and everything will go smoothly in the future!"
Shao Yunduan did this for Taotao.
Just because Zhao Shu doesn't care doesn't mean that his loyal managers and shopkeepers don't care, or that the Zhao family members don't care.
Qiao Xuan understood what Shao Yunduan meant and persuaded Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu saw Qiao Xuan saying the same thing, so he smiled awkwardly and said okay. Well, he always felt that he had taken advantage...
Zhao Shu and Tao Tao had obviously been discussing going to Hangzhou City for a long time. Both of them missed the place very much, so they said goodbye to Qiao Xuan and the others and set off the next day.
When they arrived in Hangzhou, the two of them went to visit Zhang Wenshu and presented him with a letter written by Shao Yunduan.
If it was simply to get the property back for his brother-in-law, Zhang Wenshu would definitely not agree, and would think that Lord Shao was confused and acting recklessly.
But on the one hand, Zhao Shu was implicated by Shao Yunduan, and on the other hand, Zhao Shu contributed countless silver to Shao Yunduan and was a meritorious minister. Therefore, it was natural for him to take back the property that originally belonged to him.
There was no need for Zhao Shu's people to step in for this matter; Zhang Wenshu directly sent someone to negotiate.
After Zhang Wenshu arrived in Hangzhou City, he quickly stabilized the situation and killed several people who had angered the public to calm the people and make them feel more at ease. At the same time, he also effectively deterred some people who were ready to make trouble and had evil intentions.
He was fair, efficient and quick in his work and soon won the hearts of the people.
Most of Zhao Shu's shops were still in the hands of Governor Fu and his brother-in-law. They simply drove away the managers and shopkeepers they had sent here and took over all the shops.
Some of these people did not dare to make a fuss and left in shame.
Some were unwilling to accept this and shouted that officials and businessmen were colluding to bully the common people, that they were not given a way to make a living and that they were bullying people. They even clamored that they wanted to kill themselves by hitting their heads against a wall.
For this kind of people, Zhang Wenshu directly ordered people to arrest them, make public the whole story, beat them with a stick and drive them out of Hangzhou City.
When the people found out, no one sympathized with them. Instead, they all applauded!
