The next day, several gambling dens in the capital were vandalized, and the villains with murder on their hands were all thrown into the capital to confess their crimes. The madams of brothels, who had forced women into prostitution and disregarded their lives for profit, were also thrown into the capital and punished accordingly.
At first, no one knew who did all this; all that was known was that she was a woman wearing a cat mask. Only the Prefect of the Capital knew that this person held the Grand Commandant's token!
After Mu Run finished this task, she didn't tell Fu Yunchen.
But it wasn't long before he found out too.
The Prefect of the Capital sought him out and asked him how he planned to deal with the prisoners in the dungeon.
After learning what had happened from the Prefect of the Capital, Fu Yunchen instructed the Prefect to handle the matter according to the law. Even a prince who broke the law was subject to the same punishment as a commoner, let alone a group of scoundrels and villains who had taken more than one life.
As for the other consequences, he'll bear them. Someone who dares to commit so many evil deeds in the capital for so long must have some powerful backer.
One of the death row inmates, Guo Dong, was particularly prominent.
The mansion of Prince Xiang! The person running the casino is none other than Prince Xiang's brother-in-law!
Princess Xiang died young. The current Princess Xiang was originally one of Prince Xiang's concubines, but she was elevated to the position of Princess Xiang because she gave birth to a son.
At that moment, Princess Xiang, holding a baby who was not yet one year old, rushed to Prince Xiang's feet.
"Please, Your Highness, do justice for me! Guo Dong is my only brother. If he dies, my family line will end, and the young prince will have no uncle."
Baochan was holding a peeled grape between her fingers, about to feed it to Prince Xiang, but seeing the way Princess Xiang was acting, she quickly put the grape away and stepped aside.
"Your little brother is better off without." Prince Xiang was rather fat with a face full of fat. He looked at Princess Xiang with impatience, but when his gaze fell on the child, his expression changed completely, full of joy and affection. "Quickly, give me the little prince."
A maid was immediately sent to fetch the young prince, but Princess Xiangqin refused, shouting, "Get out of my way! Don't touch my son!"
Prince Xiang's face turned ugly again. "Your Highness, I knew about your brother's matter a long time ago. If you want to blame someone, blame him for offending that evil star, the Grand Commandant."
The fact that she was able to rise from a concubine to the position of principal wife in Prince Xiang's household was not only due to giving birth to a son, but also to her cunning. In particular, she understood Prince Xiang very well and knew what he cared about most.
“Your Highness, the Grand Commandant is in charge of everything from heaven and earth to war. How could he possibly be involved in underground gambling dens? Knowing full well that Guo Dong is Your Highness’s brother-in-law, he still dared to make a move. He has no respect for Your Highness at all. He is targeting Your Highness.”
"What? You're saying the Grand Commandant's men knew Guo Dong was my brother-in-law, yet they still arrested him?"
"Yes, Your Highness knows that Guo Dong admires Your Highness the most. Wherever he goes, he tells everyone he meets that he is Your Highness's brother-in-law."
"You, Yun Rong! I really underestimated you. You dare to mess with me. Men, prepare the carriage. I'm going to the Grand Commandant's residence."
His gaze shifted to Baochan, "Do you miss your former master?"
Bao Chan hurriedly replied, "This humble concubine wouldn't dare."
Prince Xiang grabbed her chin, almost crushing her jawbone. "If I find out what dirty things you've done here, I'll tear you to pieces! I promise I'll let you live until the very end, watching yourself turn into a pile of rotten flesh."
