Chapter 38: The Crown Prince's Promise (Part )
Su Liuyue was silent, looking at him with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

How could she not know? In fact, this guy had no intention of hiding anything from the beginning to the end!
Looking directly at the man's dark eyes that were fixed on her, Su Liuyue gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, even if Jingzhao Prefecture is short of manpower, there is no one like you who recruits coolies everywhere!"

She didn't know when this guy started targeting her.

But he staged such a big drama this time just to verify for himself whether she really had the ability to solve the case.

After all, she was just an ordinary girl who had just caused a big disturbance. If she said she could investigate cases and was an expert at it, I'm afraid everyone's attitude would be like Router at the beginning - questioning or even dissatisfied.

Zhou Yunke had not expected that she would say something that sounded like an accusation. He could not help but laugh out loud, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Miss Su, what you mean is that the people working in Jingzhao Prefecture are all coolies? Miss Su, are you underestimating yourself, or are you underestimating our Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Su Liuyue: “…”

what's the difference.

They are all just social animals!

Su Liuyue couldn't help but give Zhou Yunke a look that said, "I don't really want to argue with you." Zhou Yunke couldn't help but raise his lips and said, "However, Miss Su's guess is not wrong. Daqing has just been established. Not only Jingzhao Prefecture, but almost all government offices are short of staff. Although the Ministry of Rites has already opened the special examination urgently, it also needs time to prepare.

To be honest, I have already chosen a candidate to replace the previously deposed Kang Shaoyin, but he is now serving in another place and can only come to Jingzhao Prefecture until a new person replaces him.

Besides, this time, Miss Su really gave me a big surprise."

At first, he didn't want to use such a big case to test her right away.

However, when everyone was at a loss about the case and he accidentally discovered that her cousin was related to one of the victims, he came up with the idea of ​​trying to let her solve the case.

Unexpectedly, not only did she break through, but it took her less than two days!

Although he now concurrently serves as Jingzhao Yin, the matters on his hands are more than just those of Jingzhao Prefecture. This case had previously been investigated by Lu Chengyu, the Shaoyin of Lu. Seeing that he had been unable to solve the case for a long time and was too entangled in trivial matters of all sizes in Jingzhao Prefecture to spare any time, he took over the case personally.

Su Liuyue took a deep breath and said, "I know that His Highness wants me to assist Jingzhao Prefecture in investigating the case, but does His Highness really not mind my identity?"

Feng Yang couldn't help but look at her silently again.

To be honest, this woman does have a lot of troubles on her shoulders. If His Highness really wants to use her, who knows if her troubles will one day burn into His Highness?
Zhou Yunke raised his eyebrows slightly, "Appoint people based on their merits. At least so far, I haven't seen anyone more suitable for this task than Miss Su."

As for those parts of her that he couldn't see through, if he kept her under his nose, he would be able to see through them one day.

Su Liuyue: “…”

This guy seems to be a good prince with a broad perspective.

However, what does all this have to do with her?
Su Liuyue pulled the corner of her mouth and said with a fake smile: "Your Highness seems to have forgotten one thing from the beginning to the end. What if I don't want to?"

Zhou Yunke couldn't help but stare at her with his sharp black eyes.

Su Liuyue was not at all nervous, still looking straight at him and said, "I have already told Your Highness that my reputation can no longer withstand the slightest disturbance. Once the fact that I helped Jingzhao Prefecture investigate the case is exposed, Your Highness can still get away with it with his status and position, but I will be thrown into a new storm."

Zhou Yunke looked at her for a long time before he said thoughtfully, "So, what exactly do you want, Miss Su, to help me with my work?"

If she really doesn't want to, she can just refuse.

Su Liuyue was silent for a moment, then said, "As long as Your Highness agrees to a few things, it will be fine. First, while I assist you in investigating the case, you must not reveal my identity to the outside world. Second, there must be a corresponding reward for each investigation."

A worker's soul is a worker's soul. It is impossible to let her work for nothing! "Third, when the day comes when His Highness no longer needs me, I hope His Highness can pretend that he has never known me.

fourth……"

After a pause, Su Liuyue said, "I haven't thought about what to do next yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it."

Feng Yang at the side couldn't help but asked, "So, how many requests do you have?"

Su Liuyue glanced at him and said unhappily, "Don't worry, I will never let your Highness suffer any loss. Didn't I tell you how many there are? If there are more than ten, I can't call for more."

In this matter, it seemed that the Crown Prince gave her room to refuse. In fact, how could she refuse? A higher-ranking official could crush a person, not to mention the Crown Prince. He set up such a big trap to test her, how could she easily refuse?

Although Su Liuyue wanted to fight against the power of the Su family, she never fantasized about rising to the top overnight. What's more, she was not familiar with the Crown Prince at all. Who knew what kind of person he was? If she followed the wrong leader in this matter, it could be fatal.

Now that she has been forced into this situation, can't she take the opportunity to ask for some benefits for herself?

Feng Yang: “…”

Ten requirements, that’s outrageous!

Zhou Yunke narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while, then suddenly said, "How about this, from now on, every time Miss Su solves a murder case, I will agree to one of Miss Su's requests, provided that it does not harm my own interests. How about that?"

Su Liuyue was slightly stunned, and looked at him with a rare look of surprise.

Feng Yang also turned his head suddenly and looked at his master in shock.

Zhou Yunke stood up slowly and said, "Miss Su is willing to risk damaging her reputation to work for me, so I should show some appreciation, but I want Miss Su's real ability.

If Miss Su has no objection, you can come to Jingzhao Prefecture to see me at the same time tomorrow afternoon."

Just to give him an answer, why should she go there in person?
Su Liuyue raised her eyes suddenly, "Could it be, there is another case?"

At this time, the sky had darkened, with only a stubborn glimmer of light remaining on the horizon.

There was no light in the room. From Su Liuyue's perspective, the man's tall and straight figure was half in the faint white light and half hidden in the shadows, so that she could not see the expression on his face clearly for a moment.

After a while, a slightly deep voice sounded, "It is considered so."

At first, he actually wanted to use this incident as a test for her.

This was very different from any of his previous voices, and perhaps because it was tinged with the desolation of the daytime outside the window that was about to end, it inexplicably revealed a sense of depression.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but be stunned.

What does it mean...?
Feng Yang unconsciously turned his head to look at his own prince, frowning slightly.

His Highness is still very concerned about that matter.

Zhou Yunke obviously had no intention of telling Su Liuyue more things. After the two sides reached a preliminary consensus, he asked Feng Yang to send Su Liuyue out.

Along the way, Su Liuyue was unconsciously thinking about Zhou Yunke's case and didn't notice that not far from the corridor, a green figure suddenly rushed towards this side, until an extremely surprised voice exploded in her ears, "I heard from Xiangbei that the prince is willing to stay in the same room with a woman! Is this true? Is it true?"
