Chapter 287 Devil Capitalist
So, where was the former princess's mansion? It stood to the left and right of the Third Prince, nestled on the dragon's eye. It was a prime feng shui location in the entire capital. Many had fought tooth and nail for it over the years, but Emperor Wen refused to give up. Now, what was he saying, temporarily lending it to He Zhaojun? Who knew if this scoundrel would return it?
Wen Ziduan glanced at He Zhaojun. This time it was good. The princess's mansion was right next to his prince's mansion. When she got angry and went back to her parents' home, it would only take a cup of tea to get there, so she wouldn't have to travel long distances.
It was just that this place was too close, and it would be too easy for his wife to separate from him in the future. Thinking of this, he also felt that the princess's mansion in the previous dynasty was not that great, and He Zhaojun's residence should be set up in Ryukyu or Java, so that she would have nowhere to go if she wanted to run away from home.
Seeing him shaking his head and sighing, with a complex expression on his face, Emperor Wen couldn't guess whether Wen Ziduan was satisfied or not. In any case, He Zhaojun's eyes were rolling around, and she must be planning something bad.
Emperor Wen could never have imagined that his third son, who looked serious and was the most trusted one and would inherit the throne in the future, was now afraid because his wife had run away from home and it was difficult to comfort him.
He Zhaojun sighed, accepted the order, and thanked him. "Then I'll have to. Please, everyone, thoroughly investigate what's wrong with the He family. I want to know, too."
The He family's original Cavalry General's Mansion was also one of the largest fortresses, but the warehouse was full of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, and valuable collectibles that were difficult to sell. There was not much real gold and silver.
Although the He family's business income was huge, its expenses were equally staggering. The initial investment in those large ships, various equipment, and carriages and caravans alone was an astronomical figure.
In other words, the cash flow on the books is terrifying, but there may not be much cash.
Several of her sisters-in-law were from military families. When they brought her younger sister with them, they were either training or on the way to training all day long, so they didn't use hairpins, rings, or jewelry much.
These brothers were all rough men. Once, one of them got up in the middle of the night and mistook a vase as a man-sized vase for an assassin, smashing it to pieces with one punch. No good thing could withstand the iron fist, so they simply didn't take it out and piled it in the warehouse to collect dust.
Her subordinates didn't dare to say anything else. There were more than a hundred people in the accounting office, who were responsible for managing the shops and properties. The procedures were complete, the handwriting was clear, and there were two copies. Even if these people checked, they would not find any problems. She was not worried at all.
What she was worried about was that now everyone in the world would know that He Zhaojun was rich enough to rival a country. How could she continue to live a low-key life?
These people who had been keeping a close eye on the He family for a long time were now rubbing their hands in preparation for a fight, acting arrogantly. Their bandit tendencies had just begun to show, but they were silenced in front of the Imperial Guards dispatched by Wen Ziduan.
Shao Shang stood in the Loyalty Hall of the He Mansion with his hands in his pockets, staring at the people in the courtyard. Cheng Gongling took a look at anyone who dared to touch these treasures, and the black-armored guards would make sure he would pay the price.
"Be careful. If you dare to cause any damage, you will be held accountable." He Zhaojun held a food box with hot meals and pastries in it. She set up a simple banquet in the pavilion in the courtyard and pulled Shao Shang to eat while they watched.
Shao Shang held her hand and said, "Sister Zhaojun, don't worry. I will definitely not let anyone with ulterior motives frame you."
"Relax." He Zhaojun waved her hand nonchalantly, took a sip of scented tea, and smacked her lips. "Originally, I wanted this mansion this time, but I thought moving would be troublesome. I would have to check the items and be careful not to damage them. I also had to worry about where to put them. But this time, someone solved it for me."
Shao Shang exclaimed, "Sister Zhaojun, you're making these people do hard labor?!"
