Chapter 1078 Liu Yue Extra: The Truth

The moonlight was bright, the stars were few, and the world was full of strangeness under the beautiful night sky.

When Gongsun Yan heard the signal of Mother Chen knocking on the door, she sent away the servants around her and led Mother Chen to the study room.

Under the dim light, Gongsun Yan opened the secret document with foreign symbols and quickly checked it.

"No wonder! The prince has been in a bad mood these two days, as if he has something in his heart but is unwilling to say it. It turns out that the boy surnamed Zhou has been exposed."

Mother Chen was shocked, "Does the master mean that Zhou Zhiyuan is no longer useful? Then should we take action?"

Gongsun Yan thought about it carefully, and waved her hand at Mother Chen, "Although he has been exposed, the prince has not made any move. I guess the prince will not deal with it publicly because of his own face. At least there must be a fig leaf. But the surnamed Zhou will never have the trust and opportunity like before. This is asking for death. I can't stop it."

Mother Chen hesitated and stopped, "Then, what about the young lady of the Zhou family? Can they still get married?"

Suddenly hearing someone mention Zhou Lanqing, Gongsun Yan's eyelids jumped slightly, and she said softly, "Young lady of the Zhou family... It depends on fate. The prince usually doesn't care much about love, and I can't figure out his mind."

After Mother Chen left, Gongsun Yan thought more, but these things were not qualified for Chen and Xu.

He hadn't heard anything about this incident in the East Palace or the government office. Based on his understanding of the prince, he must have sent someone to find evidence against Zhou Zhiyuan.

But two days had passed since the incident, and the prince hadn't revealed a single word to his most trusted aide, let alone come to discuss with him.

Did the prince no longer trust him? Or was he just cautious and wanted to minimize the scope of people who knew about the incident?

How could she find out what the prince thought of her, and how could she get rid of Zhou Zhiyuan as soon as possible, and also protect Zhou Lanqing and the prince's marriage? Gongsun Yan was destined to toss and turn and not sleep that night.

Another person who couldn't sleep that night was Daliang's prince Song Ruiyang.

It took two days for the secret guards sent by the emperor to assist to present sufficient evidence to the prince. Those clumsy tricks of deceiving the superiors and the subordinates easily deceived Song Ruiyang, who claimed to be a dragon among men.

The court only wanted to break the monopoly of the Cao Gang on domestic water transport, but Zhou Zhiyuan used his different business houses and water transport operations to secretly swallow up 70% to 80% of the business of the Cao Gang to his own hands.

The monopoly of water transport in Shujiang River has changed from the Cao Gang to Zhou Zhiyuan!

As for the docks on the riverside, let’s not talk about the far ones, just talk about this one in the capital. The court’s decree is to temporarily open a new dock, expand and renovate the old dock, and at the same time give reasonable compensation to the previous operators and merchants of the dock.

However, the current evidence shows that Zhou Zhiyuan used the numerous business houses and water transport operations to directly occupy the management and control of the old dock, and the compensation that should have been sent to the Cao Gang also fell into Zhou Zhiyuan’s pocket.

Song Ruiyang’s face was ashen, and he couldn’t calm down even after the secret guard left for a long time.

I didn't know much about the Cao Gang, and I never thought about really understanding it. I just believed the Cao Gang's arrogance and contempt for the court based on hearsay.

What Song Ruiyang regretted even more was that Liu Yue, the leader of the Cao Gang, had asked to see him several times before, but he arrogantly refused.

What Zhou Zhiyuan reported before was completely different from what he actually saw now. Are all those remarks about Liu Yue true? ?

Liu Yue! This name suddenly jumped in Song Ruiyang's heart, and he remembered those eyes, Liu Yun's eyes.

A person's face can be changed, but the eyes cannot be changed, especially such clear, lively and spirited eyes.

The chivalrous Liu Yun would definitely not be as unbearable as Liu Yue described by Zhou Zhiyuan!
