I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 108 Turning danger into good fortune
Chen Jue and the prince never stopped on the road to clean up the court.
On this day, they once again focused their attention on corrupt officials who used money from the national treasury to occupy farmland and annex land.
As the investigation deepened, a series of heinous crimes gradually surfaced.
These corrupt officials used their power to unscrupulously embezzle state treasury funds, and then used various means to seize people's farmland, forcing innocent farmers into a desperate situation.
In the village, the once fertile land is now barren, and the farmers' eyes are full of despair and anger.
Chen Jue led a team of loyal men, traveling through various disaster-stricken areas and carefully collecting evidence.
Wherever they went, people gathered around them and told them their experiences.
An old farmer held Chen Jue's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes: "Sir, these corrupt officials have taken over our land. How can we survive?"
Chen Jue looked at the old farmer's weathered face, and a strong sense of anger and responsibility surged in his heart.
He said firmly: "Don't worry, fellow villagers, we will definitely seek justice for you!"
During the investigation, some upright clerks also expressed sincere admiration for the actions of Chen Jue and the prince. In a corner of the government office, several clerks gathered together and whispered.
"Lord Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are truly courageous. They dare to take action against these corrupt officials. This is truly serving the people!"
"Yes, we should also learn from them and not allow these corrupt officials to do whatever they want."
Their words were filled with yearning for justice and respect for Chen Jue and others.
After some hard work, Chen Jue and the prince finally obtained enough evidence and decided to take swift and resolute action to eradicate these corrupt officials.
When the officers and soldiers rushed into the residences of corrupt officials, those corrupt officials who were usually arrogant and domineering suddenly panicked.
Some of them tried to escape, while others knelt down and begged for mercy.
In the interrogation room, Chen Jue and the prince sat majestically at the top, watching the corrupt officials who were arrested.
One of the corrupt officials even tried to argue: "Sir, I am innocent. I did not occupy the farmland."
Chen Jue glared at him and said sternly, "The evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to deny it? Look at how these people are living because of your evil deeds!"
As he said this, he threw a stack of evidence in front of the corrupt officials. Seeing this, the other corrupt officials also lowered their heads.
In the end, faced with ironclad evidence, these corrupt officials had no choice but to plead guilty and obey the law.
One corrupt official said with tears streaming down his face: "I regret it so much. I shouldn't have been blinded by power and wealth and done such evil things."
The case was successfully closed, and Chen Jue and the prince gained more support from the public.
On the streets, people cheered and praised their heroic deeds.
"Lord Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are truly our saviors!"
"With them around, we have hope for the future." Chen Jue's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, but he knew that this was only a small step in a long journey.
When bidding farewell to the prince, Chen Jue's mood was extremely complicated. They stood at the steps of the palace, the sun shining on them, but it could not dispel the slight sadness of parting.
After closing the case, Chen Jue walked along the quiet farm path. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light. The breeze blew gently, bringing the fragrance of the fields. However, the tranquility was soon broken.
Suddenly, the air around him seemed to freeze, and Chen Jue was acutely aware of the approaching danger. Almost instantly, a group of assassins rushed out from all directions like ghosts. They were dressed in black, with grim faces and fierce murderous intent in their eyes.
"Chen Jue, today is the day you die!" The leading killer shouted angrily, and his voice echoed in the quiet path.
Chen Jue's heart tightened, but his eyes instantly became firm. He quickly drew out his sword, which flashed with cold light, as if responding to the upcoming battle.
"Who sent you? I, Chen Jue, am upright and honest, and I am not afraid of your schemes and tricks!"
The killers did not answer, but moved closer step by step, the weapons in their hands flashing a cold light in the sunlight.
Chen Jue tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, leaned forward slightly, and prepared for the battle. He quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind, while also observing the actions of the assassins. The assassins acted in unison, obviously they had been strictly trained. They quickly surrounded Chen Jue, leaving him no chance to escape.
The battle was about to break out. A killer took the lead in attacking, brandishing his sword and stabbing at Chen Jue with a fierce momentum, the sword's momentum was as fast as lightning.
Chen Jue dodged to the side, as agile as a civet cat, and used his sword to block the attack of another assassin. The sound of metal colliding rang out on the path, and sparks flew everywhere.
Chen Jue turned his wrist and stabbed the killer who had just attacked him with his sword like a dragon. The killer hurriedly raised his sword to block, but his arm was slightly numb due to the shock of Chen Jue's power.
"Humph, Chen Jue, do you think you can escape? You will definitely die today!"
Chen Jue was not afraid at all. He fought back, "You villains are helping the evildoers. I, Chen Jue, will never let you succeed!"
As he spoke, he kept changing his position, using the terrain of the trail to avoid enemy attacks.
Chen Jue displayed a set of exquisite sword skills, the sword shadow flickered like snowflakes flying. Sometimes he stabbed the killer's vital points, and sometimes he swept through the army, forcing the killers to retreat again and again.
An assassin took the opportunity to attack from behind, but Chen Jue seemed to have eyes on his back. He turned around and stabbed out with his sword like a poisonous snake, hitting the assassin's wrist directly, causing the weapon in the assassin's hand to fall.
The killers' attacks became more and more fierce, and Chen Jue gradually fell into trouble. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his breathing became a little rapid. But there was still no fear in his eyes, only firm belief and unyielding fighting spirit.
At the critical moment of Chen Jue, the general of the Prince's Mansion arrived in time. The general led a team of soldiers and appeared on the battlefield like a god descending from the sky. The sound of their horse hooves broke the silence of the path and brought hope to Chen Jue.
"Master Chen, we are here to rescue you!"
Chen Jue was relieved to see the general coming. He also joined the battle and fought hard with the general and the soldiers to resist the attacks of the assassins.
"Thank you, General!"
The general responded: "Master Chen, you are welcome. Let's work together to bring these villains to justice!"
After a fierce battle, they finally managed to repel the assassins. The trail was left in a mess, with some injured assassins lying on the ground. Although Chen Jue was injured, his heart was full of gratitude.
He knew that he had survived danger again, which was God's blessing for his righteous act.
