Chapter 123 His Highness's Eyes (Part )

"wrong."

Before Su Liuyue opened her mouth to speak, Zhou Yunke said calmly: "Fan Jian is not the kind of emotional person. Everything he did before was for the greatest benefit to himself. For this reason, he was even willing to abandon his wife and children. In a way, he is a smart and ruthless person.

It is indeed a bit strange that such a person would suddenly do something that has no use other than venting his anger."

Seeing that Zhou Yunke understood what she meant, Su Liuyue couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "That's right, the underlying color of a person's character will not change easily. He spent all his family wealth in order to avoid the same fate as his father-in-law's family. But now that he is involved in this kind of thing, once he is caught, his fate may even be worse than his father-in-law's family!
His behavior before and after is completely contradictory.”

The yamen runner was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses. He couldn't help but ask, "Then...then he suddenly changed so much, is it because of something that happened after he left the capital? But, we don't know what happened to him!"

"Not urgent."

Su Liuyue stood up leisurely, smiling and said, "If a person's past is too perfect, it will be difficult for me to take action. I will go over and ask him what happened after he left the capital and I will know."

The bailiff opened his mouth and forgot to close it for a long time.

Su Xiaolangjun said this as if if they went over to ask, Fan Jian would answer obediently.

Su Liuyue just started to move her steps when she suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Zhou Yunke, "Your Highness, do you want to come with us?"

Seeing the confident smile on her lips, Zhou Yunke smiled and said, "Let's go. Since you said there is a better way to make him open his mouth, I will ask Mr. Su for advice."

Although she knew that he was just following her words, Su Liuyue still found it quite useful. She glanced at him, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Then I will try my best to show Your Highness my ability."

The yamen runners beside them were not like Feng Dali and Lu Lu, who often worked beside them. Seeing that Su Xiaolang dared to speak to His Highness like this, His Highness was not angry at all, and the smile on his face even deepened. He could not help but be stunned for a long time, muttering: "I am guilty, how could I see some pampering in His Highness's eyes?"

It's exactly the same look he gives his new wife!

Feng Yang, who was standing by, heard his murmurs and looked at him in confusion.

What's the point of talking about pampering or not pampering? It's disgusting.

In his opinion, the look in His Highness's eyes was no different from usual.

After a pause, he said seriously: "If you also have the ability of Su Xiaolangjun, His Highness will also think of you in this way."

After saying that, he followed Zhou Yunke and Su Liuyue with a stern face.

The yamen runners who were left behind: “…”

Your Highness, is looking at him with the same eyes as you just looked at Su Xiaolangjun?
Just imagining it for a moment gave him goosebumps.

Or... forget it. Su Xiaolangjun is handsome, and he can ignore the difference in their genders. He can't bear it, he can't bear it.

Zhou Yunke brought Su Liuyue all the way to a remote basement entrance in Jingzhao Prefecture. Outside the small entrance, which could only accommodate two people, stood two stationed soldiers.

When they saw Zhou Yunke, they immediately saluted and opened an iron door outside the entrance.

This underground prison is not big. There is a torch on each wall on both sides. With the sunlight coming in from the entrance, it is quite bright inside.

Su Liuyue followed Zhou Yunke down and saw a middle-aged man in prison clothes sitting on the ground with his head down in the cage at the end. There were some fresh scars on his exposed face, neck and hands that had not yet scabbed over. It was obvious that he had been tortured after coming here. However, the prison clothes he was wearing were new, and except for his messy hair, the rest of his body was tidy, which obviously meant that he had been cleaned up.

Su Liuyue looked him up and down carefully, and when she saw his right hand slumped on his knee, her eyes narrowed slightly.

But I saw a dark red spot on the thumb of his right hand, which looked like a mark left after a burn.

Although there were no such marks on his other four fingers, there was a small, conspicuous yellow patch on the fingers and nails, as if they had touched something and were stained with the pigment of that thing.

But is there anything whose pigment can last so long that it cannot be washed off?

Su Liuyue paused.

She hadn't walked down the stairs yet. Zhou Yunke was walking in front of her. Because the stairs led down, his height was just the same as hers.

Su Liuyue was thinking about something, so she leaned forward without thinking too much and whispered into Zhou Yunke's ear, "When Fan Jian was first captured, did he have any strange smell?"

Zhou Yunke's body stiffened slightly, and he felt a warm and moist breath suddenly blowing towards his earlobe, making his ear suddenly feel slightly hot and itchy. The hot and itchy feeling was like a restless bug, crawling all over his body in an instant.

He could feel that the woman behind him was very close to him, and he could even clearly smell the fragrance on her body.

He couldn't really explain it for a moment. Was he feeling disgusted or something else? Anyway, something was very wrong. Even his answer was completely subconscious. "No, there was no other smell on him except for the unpleasant smell of sweat."

Su Liuyue frowned slightly.

Yes, it's summer now and men tend to sweat easily. After being outside for half a day, they will be covered in sweat and all the smell on their bodies will be washed away.

She then asked, "When you caught him, did you find anything on him?"

"I have nothing but a set of ragged clothes and a bunch of copper coins."

An idea suddenly occurred to Su Liuyue.

A string of copper coins!
Suddenly, she walked past Zhou Yunke and walked quickly forward, going straight in front of Fan Jian.

Fan Jian had already noticed that someone was coming down, but he just lowered his head in despair, not even bothering to look up.

Su Liuyue sneered and said, "Fan Jian, it turns out that you are not such a heartless person. You don't really want to join that reactionary gang, but you have other purposes, right!"

Fan Jian's body trembled violently, and he finally raised his head, looking at Su Liuyue in front of him in a daze.

Because Su Liuyue was standing in a backlit position, he could not see the expression on her face for a moment. He stammered for a long time before taking a deep breath and said, "I didn't, I didn't join any gang! I just wanted to go to the city to buy some things, and I happened to pass by the residence of the chief steward of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I... I don't know why His Royal Highness arrested me..."

"Oh? Buying something?"

Su Liuyue slowly squatted down in front of him. Fan Jian finally saw Su Liuyue's appearance clearly. He was slightly stunned when he found that she was such a pretty young lady.

However, the words spoken by this pretty young man did not match her appearance at all. She just sneered and said word by word with great certainty: "The thing you want to buy is not life-saving medicine!"
