Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After listening to Ma Yinglong's report, Mr. Zhao immediately lost all sleep.

    The autumn harvest has just passed a few days ago, and it¡¯s not like there is a shortage of crops.  It is said that food prices are at their lowest in the year, so people's mood should be very stable.

    How could there be a civil unrest?

    "What's going on?" He asked Ma Yinglong with a sullen face as he asked Secretary Ma to come in and help him wash and dress.

    "It is said that this year's silk sales have been severely unsalable, and most of the weaving households have been unable to survive. But the weaving eunuchs still refused to abide by this year's bad regulations. As a result, more than a hundred factories in Suzhou were closed overnight. The weavers suddenly had no way to survive, so they all went together.  Go to the weaving eunuch's office to ask for an explanation."

    "Not only did the weaving eunuch Li You ignore it, he also ordered his eunuchs and minions to drive away and beat the weavers. As a result, the weavers were furious, and they rushed into the weaving yamen and started smashing them."

    "At this time, Magistrate Cai heard the inquiry and sent officers to suppress him. He rescued Li You into the magistrate's office and arrested several weavers who were leading the trouble." Ma Yinglong continued:

    "I thought the situation had calmed down. Unexpectedly, there were criminals in the middle of the night who took the lead in besieging the government office. They burned down the magistrate's office and rescued several leaders who were captured. Magistrate Cai had to take Zuo Er and Eunuch Li with him.  , and fled to the Wuxian County Government Office."

    "At this time, the situation was completely out of control. People were making trouble everywhere and it was impossible to suppress them. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Magistrate Cai made a decisive decision to lead all the city officials to leave the city temporarily and move to Xishan Island for safety."

    After finishing speaking, Ma Yinglong scratched his head and asked anxiously: "Master, are you old enough?"

    "Big, damn big!" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes angrily and cursed, "I don't understand. Where can they go? Are they going to my Xishan Island?"

    "It is said that because Xishan Island belongs to Wu County, so going to our place does not count as losing land." Ma Yinglong smiled bitterly: "And our island is heavily guarded, and others can see it."

    "He's a thief, meow." Mr. Zhao sneered and helped Sister Ma stand up.  Then he asked: "How is Kunshan?"

    "The situation is stable, people should do whatever they need to do." Ma Yinglong hurriedly replied: "But the eldest master also asked the young master to go back quickly, just in case."

    "Yes." Mr. Zhao nodded understandingly.  Kunshan and Suzhou are adjacent to each other. Of course my father is worried that the civil unrest will spread to Kunshan and ruin the good situation that father and son have worked so hard to create.

    I guess dad is panicking, right?

    Things were prioritized, and Zhao Hao knew that he could not delay, so he ordered in a deep voice: "Let's set off immediately after breakfast!"

    Gao Wu and Secretary Ma quickly split up to prepare.

    ??~~

    During breakfast, Zhao Hao conveyed the emergency situation to Jin Xuezeng and Jiang Xueying.

    Then he asked Chen Huaixiu to come over and told her that he was going to go back and take charge.  As for the signing ceremony, he will leave Jiang Xueying as his representative to sign various agreements.

    Originally, Mr. Zhao was not qualified to sign the agreement. After all, he was only a small shareholder with only two points of shares So it would not matter whether he attended the ceremony or not.

    He made an agreement with Chen Huaixiu that Xiao Teng would go to Kunshan for review in half a month and then have an in-depth discussion about closer cooperation.

    After breakfast, Mr. Zhao boarded his beautiful ocean-going boat "Science" and left the Shachuanbang Pier, ending his seven-day trip to Chongming.

    ??~~

    Almost at the same time, the governor of Songjiang also received news of the chaos in Suzhou.

    "Okay!" After receiving the report, Lin Run's handsome face became extremely cold and said: "Mr. Xiaoge is really outspoken. If you say there will be trouble, there will definitely be trouble! It's too bad not to tell fortunes.  wasted."

    Su Song was on the side, and Zheng Yuanshao was horrified when he heard this: "Ah, could it be that the boss of the Xu family had predicted this?"

    Lin Run nodded and said coldly: "He said that as long as the parents-in-law are cleared, Songjiang will definitely be in chaos."

    "Haven't we started taking action yet?" Zheng Yuanshao's head was as big as a bucket.

    It has been five days since he led his troops to Songjiang, but the farmers in Songjiang were all procrastinating, and the autumn harvest was not completed until yesterday.

    Originally, today was the day to send out the troops and start measuring the acres and registering them.

    I didn¡¯t expect to encounter this kind of thing again so early in the morning.

    "This is a warning." Lin Run threw the flimsy piece of paper on the table and sneered: "It's telling me that if you don't stop, it will be Songjiang's turn next."

    "Zhongcheng, it's not like this." Zheng Yuanshao's hair stood on end when he heard this, and he stammered: "The Xu family is also a hairpin family and a scholarly family. They shouldn't be so heartbroken."

    "I really have no evidence." Lin Run snorted,He said calmly: "But after dealing with these powerful families like wolves and tigers for a long time, I am no longer familiar with their tricks."

    "Then Zhongcheng, how should we deal with it?" Zheng Yuanshao asked hurriedly for instructions.

    "I, Lin Ruoyu, am not scared. On the contrary, the more they behave like this, the more it proves that we are doing the right thing." Lin Zhongcheng's face was as iron-clad as:

    "Is it just to see who can overwhelm whom? This hospital will accompany them to the end!"

    "As he spoke, he ordered in a deep voice: "Deputy Ambassador Zheng, you will lead a thousand troops and continue to clear out your parents-in-law in Songjiang. You must not make any mistakes!"

    "As ordered." Zheng Yuanshao responded quickly and seriously, and then asked with concern: "What about Zhongcheng?"

    "I will bring a thousand soldiers and horses back to Suzhou to quell the civil uprising." Lin Run counted with his fingers and said confidently: "I will return in ten days at most, or seven days at least, and I will continue to clear my relationship with you."

    "Zhongcheng, can you bring more troops?" Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly advised: "I heard that there are tens of thousands of rioters. I'm afraid this number of people is not enough to suppress the situation."

    "Haha, don't worry. Civil uprisings in Suzhou are a common occurrence." Lin Run smiled nonchalantly and said: "This court knows how to deal with them. It will be useless to lead more troops."

    "Yes, Zhongcheng, please be more careful." Zheng Yuanshao said with a worried look on his face: "In Songjiang, I will continue to implement Zhongcheng's strategy."

    "Then it's settled, I will return immediately." Lin Run acted resolutely and left as soon as he said it.

    ??~~

    In Huating, even the slightest disturbance cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Xu family.

    As soon as Lin Run¡¯s ship left the dock, Xu Fan and Xu Ying received the news.

    "Sir, Lin Run has returned to Suzhou!"

    The two brothers were having a drink, and they were keeping an eye on Xu Ba, the steward of the house, and came in to report as if he was taking credit.

    "Really?" Xu Ying's face was filled with joy, and she was so excited that she didn't even notice that the wine in her glass was spilled.  "Can you see it clearly?"

    "The little man saw it clearly outside. He hurriedly got on the boat and went straight to the west without even saying hello to the magistrate!" Xu Bamei said with excitement.

    "Hahaha." Xu Ying was overjoyed when she heard this. She stood up suddenly, patted her thighs and said, "Brother's move to surround Wei and save Zhao is really brilliant!"

    ¡°I¡¯m helping myself, what does it have to do with his surname Zhao?¡± Xu Fan was allergic to this surname and spat in displeasure.

    ps.  Third update.  Mr. Zhao¡¯s first ship was named ¡®Science¡¯, thanks to book friend ¡®Jun Ling¡¯ for naming it.  Back at the Jiangnan Shipyard, the dumplings started to be served, and everyone had a share.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
