Chapter 67: The Young Master of Jingzhao Prefecture (Part )

When Er Si heard this, the excitement on her face suddenly collapsed, and she pouted and said, "Er An, it's a rare good thing to happen. Wait until I'm happy enough before you say these disappointing words."

Su Liuyue said nothing and walked to the couch and sat down.

She knew that Su Weili and Guo would never let her go. In this era, she was reborn as the third daughter of the Su family. The only way for her to quickly escape from the control of the Su family was to get married.

The little trick just now could only solve a temporary crisis.

She knew this from the beginning.

During this period of time, she tried hard to become Man Yifang and was determined to support the Xue family, all in order to have more bargaining chips in her hands, so that she could at least have the ability to choose who to marry, and after marriage, not be bound by the rules of this world.

For her now, getting married is just a stopgap measure. She doesn't really want to get married. The best thing, of course, is to find a man who is easy to control and willing to have a marriage of convenience with her. At worst, she doesn't mind marrying a sickly man as long as it doesn't interfere with her own affairs.

Su Liuyue didn’t think much about what would happen in the future, nor did she have enough time to think about it slowly.

Once the situation of Man Yifang and the Xue family stabilizes, it will be time for her to take the initiative and find a tool who can help her quickly escape from the Su family.

At the same time, in the Prince Wei’s Mansion in Xinjing.

"What a bunch of rubbish!"

Early in the morning, King Wei Zhou Jingchen heard the news from the secret guards he had sent out that Zhou Yunke had solved another major case. He was so angry that he could not help but strode over and kicked the secret guard who was kneeling on the ground to the ground.

Didn't those soldiers commit suicide? How come after investigating it, it actually became a murder case, and the murderer was found by that guy!

The secret guard was already seriously injured, and after being kicked so hard, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He sat on the ground in embarrassment and said hoarsely: "We, the subordinates, have been following the orders of the prince and have been looking for a chance to obstruct the investigation of the case by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his team, but... we don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his team investigated the case. Before we could react, we found the murderer!"

They were also very confused. They thought that Jingzhao Prefecture had been investigating such a big case for more than two months without finding anything, and this time it would definitely take another ten days or half a month.

Who knew that they would solve the case in just one day!
Zhou Jingchen was so angry that his head was smoking. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the word "waste" again. Suddenly, he pulled out the sword of the guard beside him and was about to chop the man to death.

The secret guard was so panicked that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness! Although... although we failed to stop His Royal Highness, we shot the murderer to death at the last moment! It was because of this incident that we have been hunted down by His Royal Highness's men. In order to avoid falling into His Royal Highness's hands, our other brothers have committed suicide by taking poison. I... I survived a near-death experience and finally found a chance to come back and report the situation to Your Highness!"

Seeing that the King of Wei still had a murderous look on his face after he finished speaking, and he had no intention of letting him go, the secret guard hurriedly said, "There is... there is one more thing! I found that there is a young man beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It seems that the young man was able to solve the case so quickly this time! I suspect that the previous... the previous serial murder case of a woman was also solved by the young man!"

The King of Wei paused all his movements, but the sword in his hand was still hanging over the head of the secret guard. His eyes, which were full of murderous intent, narrowed little by little, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master?"

Seeing that this information was useful, the secret guard was immediately surprised and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right! Your subordinates... Your subordinates can guarantee that there was no such young man with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before! That young man doesn't look very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looks very handsome. Your subordinates have seen that the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture basically follow his orders. It must be because of him that Jingzhao Prefecture suddenly solved two major cases in succession!
If the prince is interested in him, I will immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, the King of Wei had a sullen face, and with a swing of the sword in his hand, he cut a hole in his neck. The dark guard who was still talking a moment ago suddenly glared, and seemed to have no idea what was happening, and slowly fell to the ground.

The King of Wei turned around and threw the sword back to the guard beside him. He said coldly, "Cao Yan, go check what's going on with the new young man next to that fellow! I really underestimated him. I thought he had just returned to the capital and his subordinates were just some idiots with strong limbs and simple minds. It was impossible for them to manage Jingzhao Prefecture well."

A man with an ordinary and inconspicuous face standing next to him immediately responded, turned around and went to do his business.

Another man in a moon-white robe, with an elegant appearance and a pair of narrow eyes that shone with a bit of brilliance, glanced at the corpse on the ground, walked to the side of the King of Wei who had already sat back on the main seat, bowed and said, "If what the secret guard said just now is true, our plan to muddy the waters of Jingzhao Prefecture and discredit the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not work."

The King of Wei suddenly slammed the table hard, gritted his teeth and glared at the man in front of him, and said angrily: "How dare you say such things! It was you who asked me to instigate my father to hand over the mess of Jingzhao Prefecture to that guy!
You also swore that Jingzhao Prefecture is now an empty shell, and that guy has no ability to clean it up. We just need to watch from the sidelines, and when the Jingzhao Prefecture causes public resentment and dissatisfaction among the officials, we can intervene a little, and then we will not have to worry about those officials not submitting memorials requesting our father to depose the crown prince and establish a new one!

Now! "

He had even prepared people to be placed in Jingzhao Prefecture to cause trouble for that guy.

Who could have imagined that after he had made all the preparations, what he was waiting for was the news that the guy had solved two major cases in a row, and all affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture began to return to normal in an orderly manner!

The more the King of Wei thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He grinned and said in a sinister tone, "Gao Xun, don't forget that I spend so much money every year to support you advisers. It's not to raise a bunch of useless people! If you can't share my worries, don't blame me for being rude!"

Being stared at with such a creepy gaze, Gao Xun's expression remained unchanged. He just bowed deeply again and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness would react so quickly.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had previously devoted himself to the battlefield, and although he had made great military achievements, the fact that he had neither the time nor the energy to cultivate talents in governing the country remained unchanged.

I have another plan, Your Majesty, please listen to it."

King Wei stared at him with a frown on his face. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Speak!"

They were just military generals before. Let alone Zhou Yunke, even he had never thought of spending money in advance to support such a group of so-called talents in governing the country.

Later, his father led them in an uprising. Everyone said that he and Zhou Yunke were the two most gifted generals under his father. Even he thought so at first. But who would have thought that when the war really broke out, the person who kept winning great victories and attracted the attention of the world was Zhou Yunke!

Although he had won many battles, he was nothing compared to his brilliant younger brother!

Just when he was unwilling and angry, this man came to him and suggested that if he could not defeat Zhou Yunke on the battlefield, he might as well make plans from other aspects.

After all, no matter how good Zhou Yunke was at fighting, the war would eventually stop, and governing a country well did not depend on the talent of a general.

Therefore, he is still willing to give him more chances.
