Liu Yue was so angry that she was jumping up and down in the room. "They are so shameless to use their numbers to bully the few! If they weren't so outnumbered, I would have castrated that grandson long ago!"
Yinxiu was sent out early in the morning, and Jinxiu followed behind her, wanting to see if she was injured or anything.
Liu Yue waved his hands impatiently, "Don't follow me. I said I'm fine. I can't beat them, but can I run away? You know that!"
Jin Yu looked at the silent Hei Muzi with a worried look on his face, but he still plucked up the courage to speak, "The leader didn't leave any traces, did he? Don't let them find out anything."
Hei Muzi spoke at this time, "Don't worry about that. Our leader may not be good at anything else, but if they can find his whereabouts, all his Qinggong training will be in vain."
Liu Yue was about to nod in agreement, but then felt something was wrong. "Hey, Lao Hei, are you praising me or scolding me? Isn't it just that my martial arts skills are not good enough? That's because I don't want to practice hard. If I wanted to, killing Song's grandson wouldn't be as easy as killing a chicken?"
Hei Muzi did not respond to her words, "Boss, it was nothing when you went to the East Palace to gather information last time, but it was indeed reckless to go alone to assassinate the prince this time. There are many experts in the palace, and the prince himself is not an embroidered pillow. You are taking a risk."
Liu Yue slapped the table hard, but he didn't want to grimace in pain, "Oh, it hurts! I just can't stand seeing that guy slandering my foster father like this. He has lived an upright life, but now he is being slandered like this. How can I not take revenge!"
Hei Muzi was silent for a moment, then expressed the doubts he and Jin Yu had in common, "We thought you were going to find him because your reputation was tarnished."
Liu Yue felt tired after dancing for a long time, so she leaned on a chair to rest. "What does it matter if I am just an orphan girl? As for reputation, almost all the people in the Cao Gang are men, and the merchants I deal with every day are also men. I have lost my reputation a long time ago."
At this point, he remembered something and laughed, "I was wondering why some of the small clients who defected to me a while ago were acting like they saw a ghost. It turns out that people said I sold myself out to maintain business, and they were afraid that their reputation would be affected."
When Jin Yu heard Liu Yue say this, tears welled up in her eyes again, "Boss, you're still laughing! Why are they making things so difficult for you? They've worked so hard for you, but now they don't even give you a single good word! It'll be even harder for you to get married in the future!"
Hei Muzi pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Yue, and expressed his thoughts, "Jin Yu, no matter who is the leader, the situation of the Cao Gang will be the same. It just so happens that our leader is a woman, so they took advantage of this to maliciously slander her. After all, this world is still too difficult for women!"
Before Liu Yue could say anything, someone came to inform him that Zhuo Yue wanted to see him. Zhuo Yue had been promoted to the manager of the Cao Gang and could see Liu Yue directly.
Zhuo Yue was sweating and panting. As soon as he came in, he said anxiously, "Something bad has happened! That Zhou guy has seized one of our boats and kidnapped several people!"
Liu Yue was surprised. "He is just a merchant, no different from us. What right does he have to arrest people and seize the boat?"
Zhuo Yue took the cup of tea handed over by Jin Yu, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "One of our large ships had just arrived at the new dock today, and it was seized by the government. They accused us of smuggling salt and iron. That Zhou guy mingled with them and fanned the flames. He must have been the one who instigated it."
Hei Muzi interrupted in time, "Why do you know that he must have instigated it?"
Zhuo Yue stepped forward and whispered, "Among the detained people, there is a canal worker who is responsible for the flag signals."
The other three people present were all shocked, this flag language was the top secret of the Cao Gang, and it was said that it was taught by the old master Wen Yi. After Master Wen Yi dissolved the Feilong Sect, the Cao Gang became more prosperous than before, and this unique set of flag language played an indispensable role in this!
Therefore, this flag signal has always been the object of covetousness. If only government officials came today, they would not think about it. But if Zhou Zhiyuan was here too, he must have come for the flag signal!
Liu Yue smiled brightly, "Let's go and meet Boss Zhou!"
