Chapter 1051 Liu Yue Extra: Do You Want to Rebel?
"Master, you are wise! When we saw the secret code you left, we sent people to follow him from a distance. After landing, he went directly to the Zhou family. Isn't our Cao Gang at odds with the Zhou family? We didn't dare to stay for long and withdrew first."
Zhou family? Liu Yue was immediately very unhappy! Then why is a beautiful man involved with the Zhou family?
Thinking of this person's inquiries about the Cao Gang and his special observations of the boatmen on the returning ship, as well as the name that sounded like a fabrication, could he be a member of Zhou Zhiyuan's group?
Although the beautiful man was not the prince, Liu Yue was secretly relieved in a corner of his heart, but those who were involved with Zhou Zhiyuan must not be good people!
Thinking of this, Liu Yue felt that the world was really not beautiful!
As the birthday banquet of the Grand Princess was getting closer and closer, there was still no progress in the matter of meeting Song Ruiyang.
Finally, I found someone who could meet the prince and talk to him, but the news I got was that the prince refused to meet him with a tough attitude without exception.
Liu Yue, Hei Muzi and several elders have discussed repeatedly that although the prince is a member of the royal family and serves as the Minister of Works, he will not personally attend many specific matters.
Zhou Zhiyuan, the businessman who is the prospective brother-in-law, has almost become the prince's spokesperson and agent in the execution of specific projects.
It is barely understandable that the prince refuses to meet Liu Yue because of his status, but now even Zhou Zhiyuan is arrogant and refuses to meet Liu Yue without giving any face to the Cao Gang.
Liu Yue was very annoyed sitting on the tree by the river. In the past ten days, the business of the Cao Gang has decreased by 10%. The most bizarre thing is that some small bosses are afraid to avoid Liu Yue as if they have seen a ghost.
There is no sun today, and Liu Yue's mood is as gloomy as the sky.
In the three years since I took over the position of the gang leader, I have been managing the Cao Gang well, but now I feel unprecedented frustration and powerlessness.
"Dad, is the Cao Gang going to fail this time? I've tried everything. I can't just sit on other people's roofs every day."
Suddenly there was a commotion on the dock. Liu Yue looked over and saw that a group of Cao Gang members had a conflict with someone else, and they were about to have a fight.
Liu Yue's heart tightened! Fei Li Da Shu and a few others jumped over, pretending to watch the fun and squeezed into the crowd from the edge, and slipped to the front row.
"The whole world belongs to the king, not to mention this dock, the whole of Shujiang belongs to Daliang. Now the court wants to promote a new policy to regulate the water transport, so of course you have to make room."
Hearing this, the canal workers were excited, and their voices were louder than the other.
"Growing up by the river, how can you just leave?"
"The Cao Gang has been doing honest business for years, earning money through hard work, and operating at the docks based on strength. The court should also abide by the law!"
Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, pressing forward step by step, as if to surround the talking clerk, the hands of the several yamen runners brought by the clerk with knives trembled slightly, watching the Cao Gang men shrink the encirclement.
At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from far away, and only when they were outside the crowd did they suddenly pull the reins, and the tall horse raised its head and neighed.
A man jumped off the horse's back, holding a whip and showing off his power to separate the crowd and come to the middle.
"A group of lowly people want to rebel? This is the world of Daliang, not the world of your Cao Gang! How dare a small Cao Gang go against the court?"
