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

Bei Chenyan ordered the city sealed off and a city-wide search for any remaining members of the Serpent Spirit Society, leaving no place unchecked.

In the Gao family study, he wrote a notice, exposing to the world Lu Rui and the Gao family's secret collusion with the Snake Spirit Society to murder eleven former prefects and three former vice-prefects!

After he finished writing, he asked Nangong Wu to make multiple copies, which were then posted in the city and at the north and south gates.

The entire Gao family has been brought to justice. Bei Chenyan ordered that all the corpses be placed outside the Gao mansion and left to rot for three days so that everyone in the city could see them and know that this was the consequence of colluding with the Snake Spirit Society to harm people.

After Bei Chenyan finished dealing with the Gao family's affairs, Nangong Wu also plundered all of the Gao family's wealth.

"If I take all the money from these families and the authorities come to investigate but can't find any, won't they accuse us of embezzling the funds?"

"They wouldn't dare." Bei Chenyan walked over and led her out of the Gao residence. "The amount of embezzled funds from these families is enormous. Even if the government investigates, they will have to be sent back to the capital."

"So you were going to bring it back to Kyoto too? Then all my efforts have been in vain," Nangong Wu said with a smile.

Seeing her greedy little face, Bei Chenyan couldn't help but smile. "It's not a waste of time. If the government can't see what we've taken, it's as if it doesn't exist. They won't dare to investigate me, the Crown Prince. What you take is our private property."

"That's more like it. I feel pretty good to have you as my husband." Nangong Wu saw that her space had been filled with gold and silver jewelry again, and felt that it was worth the effort she had put in all night.

"Of course, you'll see later how many good things I have to offer as your husband." Bei Chenyan leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Nangong Wu's ears immediately turned red. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Eileen's laughter, "Your Highness is quite good at sweet talk, but when you two are showing off your love in the future, remember there are still people in the space. Although I'm not human, I still get embarrassed."

Nangong Wu glared at the man next to her, "Don't talk nonsense anymore."

"Haha!" Bei Chenyan chuckled twice. "Then I'll say nothing and just do it from now on."

"Stop saying things that could be misunderstood." Nangong Wu never expected that this man, who was usually so serious, would say such lewd things.

"What's wrong with me?" Bei Chenyan blinked innocently. "I'm good to my wife, what's wrong with that?"

"That's right, that's right! Master will have a man to cherish her from now on," Eileen's voice came again:

"Your Highness, do you have any experience? How about I give you a few A-grade ones? You can take your time to look at them, so that on your wedding night you won't have to ask your master for advice..."

"Shut up!" Nangong Wu interrupted Eileen, not expecting her to be so gossipy.

"Miss Ai, what is 'level'?" Bei Chenyan asked curiously.

"Keep your voice down. I'll secretly show you when you're about to get married," Eileen said.

"Eileen, if you dare to corrupt him, I won't let you get away with it!" Nangong Wu blushed, broke free from his hand, and walked away quickly.

Bei Chenyan strode after her, asking, "Miss Ai, do you have something? You have to give it to me."

He could guess what Eileen was talking about.

The only things people look at before their wedding are erotic pictures.

He used to think he had misogyny, that he didn't like women and couldn't stand looking at that dirty stuff, until he met Nangong Wu.

Eileen fell silent!

Nangong Wu suddenly stopped and stared intently into his eyes. "I've heard that when the Crown Prince turns ten, palace maids usually sleep with him to teach him about matters between men and women. The Crown Prince is probably 'experienced' in this, so why are you pretending to be innocent?"

"Don't wrong me!" Bei Chenyan immediately felt extremely aggrieved. "I went to Kunlun Mountain to learn martial arts when I was eight years old. I only had a little eunuch by my side. When I went out with my master for training, I had to do everything myself."

Until I was seventeen, the Xiaoren tribe and several foreign tribes in the southern border were always harassing the people on the border and attacking the soldiers stationed at the border with evil Gu insects. They were vicious, so I went down the mountain to put on my armor and go into battle. Half a year later, I returned to the capital, and that Wan family wanted me to marry Shi Peiqiong. They even drugged me.

So I left the palace, wandered the world, and founded the Wujian Pavilion. That's how I met you, and you know what happened after that.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment and nodded, "He is indeed a hardworking crown prince, but also an unlucky one. I'll trust you for now!"

"Your Highness!" A captain rushed over, "The bodies of the Gao family have all been laid out."

"Okay." Bei Chenyan nodded slightly. "You stay here and don't touch anything in the mansion until the officials come to investigate."

"This subordinate obeys!" The captain withdrew.

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

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu flew onto the roof.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

As they entered the government office, they saw Lu Shan run over and kneel down, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"What is it?" Bei Chenyan asked him.

"Your Highness, I have found the biological father of the Du family's child. What should be done with him?" Lu Shan asked.

"Give him the child, and order Du to commit suicide!" Bei Chenyan's voice was cold.

"Yes," Lu Shan replied, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "There's no magistrate in the prefectural office. Judge Liu and several other officials are handling official business in the second hall. I'll go and fetch them right away."

"No need, I was just about to go and take a look at the second hall." Bei Chenyan took Nangong Wu's hand and walked towards the second hall of the government office.

Nangong Wu knew that the second hall of the prefectural government office was where the prefect handled his daily affairs, similar to a "daily office".

"Nanyang City is in such a mess that we can't leave anytime soon."

"Let's go see that Judge Liu first. If he's usable, let's temporarily hand over Nanyang City to him," Bei Chenyan said.

The two arrived outside the second hall, where some yamen runners recognized them and immediately knelt down, shouting "Your Majesty!" three times.

"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years!"

Judge Liu lived outside the government office. Lu Shan went to see him and told him about how the Crown Prince had suddenly arrived in Nanyang City, noticed something was wrong with Lu Rui, and had ordered the execution of all of Lu Rui's family members.

Judge Liu was shocked upon hearing this, and he grabbed his clothes, put them on, and ran outside.

But when he arrived at the government office, Bei Chenyan had already left with his men, so he asked Lu Shan to summon all the people who worked at the government office.

In the prefectural government office, besides the judge, there were other subordinate officials, such as the investigating official, the registrar, the registrar, the judicial officer, and the clerk.

As soon as these officials arrived, Judge Liu ordered the door to be closed and them detained.

Lu Rui's entire family has been convicted. Among these people are those who were close to Lu Rui, and their hands must be dirty. Don't let them get away. We'll deal with them when the Crown Prince returns.
