He decided to personally uncover a greedy conspiracy hidden under a glamorous appearance. He changed into plain civilian clothes, put on a bamboo hat to cover his majestic and inviolable face, and stepped into the bustling market alone.

The sun shines through the clouds, dappling on the bluestone road, giving the ancient city a golden glow. Chu Heng strolls through the streets, his ears filled with the cries of vendors, the laughter of children, and the occasional rumble of horse-drawn carriages, all of which make him feel unprecedented tranquility and reality. However, under this tranquility, there are hidden secrets and crimes that are unknown to the public.

Recently, the son of a minister in the court, relying on his father's power, hoarded food, medicine and other scarce materials in a time of national crisis, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, which aroused public resentment. After Chu Heng learned about this, he was furious and decided to visit incognito to witness this heinous behavior with his own eyes and find the right time to punish him severely.

He shuttled among the crowd, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and finally stopped in front of a hidden warehouse. There, the mountains of food and medicinal materials were particularly dazzling in the sun, and the surroundings were heavily guarded, revealing a secret that could not be revealed. Chu Heng sneered in his heart, this was the target he was looking for on this trip.

Just as he was about to investigate further, a shadowy figure in tight clothes quietly appeared beside him. He was Chu Heng's most trusted subordinate, who was a master of both martial arts and martial arts. His name was Shadow Guard. Shadow Guard whispered, "Your Majesty, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

Chu Heng nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Tonight, we will teach him a lesson he will never forget. Remember, let him understand that as a subject, he should care more about the people instead of taking advantage of the situation."

As night fell, the capital was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, adding a bit of mystery and tension to the justice that was about to be staged. Chu Heng and the shadow guard approached the warehouse quietly, using their superb skills to easily avoid the eyes and ears of the guards. They sneaked deep into the warehouse and found the minister's son, who was triumphantly counting his "trophies".

"You are so brave that you dare to do such a thing under my nose." Chu Heng's voice rang out in the silent warehouse, like thunder, shaking the man's whole body, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

The shadow guard stepped forward at the right time, with a flash of cold light in his hand, and a sharp dagger was pressed against the man's throat, the warning was self-evident. Chu Heng continued: "Since this is your first offense, I will spare your life for now, but you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime. From now on, if you dare to have the slightest greed again, don't blame me for being rude."

These words were sonorous and powerful, not only shocking everyone present, but also making the people hiding in the dark feel warm. They knew that this seemingly ordinary person was actually the wise and powerful emperor in their hearts, a monarch who was willing to personally eliminate treacherous people for the sake of the country and the people.

In the ancient and prosperous imperial city, the sun shines dappled on the bluestone slabs, reflecting a picture of power and glory. Deep in this magnificent palace, a sudden storm is quietly brewing, and its excitement is enough to move even the most experienced court historian.

On this day, the breeze was not dry and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Emperor Chu Heng went on a private visit in disguise, intending to understand the people's sentiments and sufferings. He was dressed simply and had a peaceful face, like a scholar who traveled all over the world, rather than the emperor above thousands of people. However, it was this low profile that foreshadowed his subsequent encounter.

In a busy market, Chu Heng met a haughty young man, the son of a powerful minister in the court, named Li Xuan. Li Xuan had been pampered since childhood and knew nothing about the suffering of the people. He didn't know that this seemingly ordinary traveler was actually the emperor who could dominate his fate.

"Hmph, where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you run wild here?" Li Xuan had a disdainful smile on his face, his eyes full of contempt for everything in the world. He was surrounded by a group of equally arrogant followers, each holding a stick, looking aggressive, as if ready to get rid of everything that didn't please them at any time.

The guards around Chu Heng were stern when they saw this, but they remained calm and restrained. They knew the emperor's intentions and did not want to expose their identities and cause unnecessary trouble because of trivial matters. However, Li Xuan's arrogance and ignorance had obviously exceeded their tolerance limit.

"You're looking for death!" Li Xuan sneered, his voice revealing an unquestionable fierceness. He waved his hand casually, signaling his men to come forward, ready to teach this "ignorant" guy a lesson. Upon receiving the order, the followers immediately swarmed forward, waving sticks, and the air was filled with the smell of violence that was about to break out.

At this critical moment, Chu Heng's guards could no longer remain silent. They flashed and appeared in front of Li Xuan and his followers like ghosts. Their movements were agile and powerful, and they instantly resolved the opponent's attack. These guards were all elites who had undergone rigorous training. Although they were dressed in casual clothes, the murderous aura emanating from them made everyone present feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"How dare you be so rude to the emperor!" A guard shouted sternly, and the sound echoed over the market, attracting the attention of the people around and talking about it. Li Xuan's face suddenly changed when he heard it, and he realized that he might be in big trouble.

Chu Heng walked forward slowly, his eyes deep, as if he could see into people's hearts. "I came here incognito to understand the sufferings of the people, but I unexpectedly met such an arrogant and domineering person." His voice was calm and majestic, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Xuan's heart, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

In the magnificent palace, the sunlight shines through the intricately carved window lattices, scattering on the mirror-like marble floor, adding a touch of unreality to the tense confrontation. On one side are the elite guards personally selected by the emperor, wearing black and gold armor, with eyes as sharp as eagles, exuding an inviolable majesty; on the other side is the son of a powerful minister in the court. Although he is dressed in gorgeous clothes, he can't hide his arrogance and unruliness between his eyebrows. At this moment, his eyes are wide open, like a beast that has been cornered.

With a crisp snap of fingers, the air seemed to freeze, followed by the clanging sound of weapons clashing, echoing in the empty hall, like the sound of war drums, making people's hearts flutter. The emperor's guards moved swiftly and coordinated seamlessly.
