With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Nangong Wu looked at him. "You know?"

The constable cupped his hands in apology and replied, "I'm not sure, but we constables are familiar with every corner of the city. If they want to escape, they might go somewhere."

"Then lead the way and chase after them. If you can catch them all, I will remember your merit," Nangong Wu said.

The constable was overjoyed and hurriedly replied, "Yes! Your Highness, please follow me."

"Your Highness, why don't you let me go after them?" Su Siyan said.

"I'll go there myself. You stay here and keep an eye on the government office." Nangong Wu waved her hand at him.

Runan City is surrounded by water on all sides. If those people have already left by boat from the moat, they won't be able to catch up even if they go there.

She possesses a spatial dimension containing all kinds of transportation, so no matter how those people run, she has a way to catch them and bring them back.

She arrived at the main gate of the government office and called over the Flying Feather Guards who were guarding the area, "Five of you carrying sniper rifles, come with me."

"yes!"

Five Flying Feather Guards, each carrying a sniper rifle, stepped forward.

"Let's go!" Nangong Wu took a step and walked out of the government office, where the constable led them away.

"What's your name?" Nangong Wu asked.

"My name is Meng Dashi, and I'm a constable." The constable was somewhat flattered.

"Meng Dashi, right? You're walking too slowly. Do you know any light-footed kung fu?" Nangong Wu thought that since he was someone who caught criminals, he should know light-footed kung fu.

Meng Dashi was taken aback. "I know a little."

"Then let's go quickly." After saying that, Nangong Wu flew onto the roof.

Seeing her graceful figure, Meng Dashi was somewhat surprised and quickly flew after her, leading the way. "Your Highness, please come this way."

Meng Dashi led them westward into the city, finally stopping at the foot of the city wall, where they saw a patch of water plants taller than a person.

Nangong Wu looked around. This area was relatively low-lying, and there was a moat outside the city walls. The ground was very wet, and there was standing water in some places.

Is this the place?

"There's a hole here." Meng Dashi lowered his voice and carefully pushed aside the water plants to go inside.

Nangong Wu and the others followed him.

They walked along the base of the wall for a while, when Meng Dashi, who was in front, suddenly stopped and stood down.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Wu also squatted down.

Meng Dashi pointed to the ground and said, "There are new footprints. Someone just came here. It looks like those people really did escape here."

Upon closer inspection, Nangong Wu indeed saw traces of someone having stepped on the grass.

"Chase!"

They followed the footprints they had left behind.

Before long, they discovered a large hole and some loose rocks on the ground.

It looks like the hole was originally blocked by a stone, but it has just been moved.

Nangong Wu went inside to check and found that there was a hollow area of ​​more than ten square meters under the city wall, where two small boats were placed, and there were fresh drag marks on the ground.

"There are ships hidden inside."

"Your Highness, the person is over there!" Meng Dashi pointed outwards.

When Nangong Wu and several Flying Feather Guards reached the cave entrance, they saw a small boat on the moat that was almost reaching the opposite bank, with six or seven people on board.

Across the moat lies a large, overgrown forest. If they were to escape into it, it would be like fish entering the ocean; they would be difficult to catch.

"So this is the escape route Liang Zheng left for himself. Luckily we arrived suddenly and quickly subdued the Liang family, otherwise Liang Zheng would have escaped," said one of the Flying Feather Guards.

The people on the small boat also saw them and told the servants to row faster.

"Sniper rifles ready, leave no one alive!" she ordered coldly, then turned and left the cave entrance.

The Liang family has committed numerous evils and is rotten to the core. Letting these people leave would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains; she cannot leave herself with future troubles.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire rang out.

Nangong Wu flew away from there and went up to the highest rooftop. She saw that all the streets of Runan City were filled with soldiers arresting people and sending them to the government office. There were also many corpses lying on the streets, executed on the spot.

Her gaze was icy.

The fact that so many people were killed in the street shows how much these soldiers hated the Liang family, and also shows how arrogant, vicious, and powerful the Liang family was here.

The Liang family is a cancer in Runan and Jianggang prefectures. If they are not completely eradicated, they will cause endless trouble in the future.

She stood there watching for a while, and then several Flying Feather Guards and Meng Dashi returned.

"Let's go back to the government office first."

Upon returning to the government office, she found that Nangong Xiao had already returned and was standing at the main gate waiting for her.

"Sister, the jail is full!"

"Is it already full?" Nangong Wu turned to ask Meng Dashi behind her, "Are there so few prison cells in Runan City?"

Meng Dashi cupped his hands in reply: "Your Highness, the number of cells is not small; in fact, there were already nearly a thousand prisoners in the cell."

Nangong Wu frowned. "Nearly a thousand prisoners! Are they bandits?"

Meng Dashi hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, they were some rioters."

"A mob?" Nangong Wu sneered. "Probably just ordinary people who couldn't survive because Liang Zheng was exploiting them!"

Meng Dashi lowered his head and did not answer.

Nangong Wu ordered, "Since the prison is full, bring everyone to the main gate of the government office. I want to conduct a trial in public."

"If someone has committed a capital crime, they will be beheaded today and their head displayed to the public."

"yes!"

Several Flying Feather Guards and Meng Dashi were ordered to go.

The guards brought out two chairs for Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao to sit down.

Liang Zhengxian was brought out; he had already woken up and was forced to kneel in front of them.

Upon seeing them, Liang Zheng shouted, "Nangong Wu, I am a second-rank official appointed by the imperial court. You have no right to touch me... I must return to the capital to see the Emperor..."

"Slap! Slap!" Ji Hongfei slapped Liang Zheng twice across the face. "You corrupt official, if you yell again, I'll have your head chopped off."

Nangong Xiao said, "Liang Zheng, I, the Crown Prince, have come today to judge your crimes. You will never have the chance to see your Emperor again!"

Just then, Liang Zheng's wives, concubines, children, and grandchildren from his backyard were also brought out.

As soon as Liang Zheng's first wife saw him, she rushed over and said, "Master, quickly have these unruly people arrested and torn to pieces."

"Heh!" Nangong Wu sneered twice. "Did you hear that? This woman likes to die dismembered. Remember that!"

"yes!"

The Flying Feather Guards and the other guards responded loudly, with Ji Hongfei's voice being the loudest.

"Your Highness, I will personally carry out the execution for her in a moment!" Ji Hongfei placed his hand on the sword at his waist and drew it.

The first wife was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her whole body trembling.

But remembering Governor Liang Zheng's status, she mustered her courage and asked, "Who...who are you? Our master is a second-rank official appointed by the imperial court. If you dare to touch him, you are going against the imperial court!"

Seeing that Nangong Wu's brows furrowed again, Ji Hongfei went over and slapped the eldest woman twice.

"If you keep making noise, I'll rip out your tongue!"

"Father, who exactly are they?" one of Liang Zheng's sons asked him.

He saw that Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao had noble bearing and were definitely not bandits. They dared to mess with a second-rank official, so they were probably not ordinary people.

"Third Young Master, this is the heir of the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion, Nangong Xiao!" a yamen runner kindly told him.

"What... Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion?" Upon hearing these four words, the Third Young Master turned ashen-faced with fright.
