I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

In the capital, the situation is changing and the forces of all parties are surging. The King of Jin and the King of Zhao have always been jealous and dissatisfied with the prince, and are always looking for opportunities to suppress the prince's power. Recently, they carefully planned a conspiracy and created an incident of eating and drinking empty salaries in an attempt to frame the prince's followers.

On this day, rumors spread throughout the capital that the prince's followers were taking empty salaries and enriching themselves in the areas under their jurisdiction. The news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and attracting widespread attention and discussion from the people.

"Have you heard? The prince's followers are actually drawing a salary without doing anything. This is too much." A commoner on the street whispered.

"Yes, I didn't expect such a thing would happen to the prince's disciples." Another citizen echoed.

The King of Jin and the King of Zhao took the opportunity to fan the flames behind the scenes, further escalating the situation. They arranged people in various teahouses and restaurants to deliberately spread rumors and guide public opinion.

When the prince learned about this, he was extremely anxious. He knew that he had always strictly required his disciples to be honest and incorruptible, and this would never happen. But the power of rumors should not be underestimated, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible to set the record straight.

The prince immediately found Chen Jue and entrusted him with the task of investigating the matter. Chen Jue knew that the matter was of great importance, so he solemnly promised the prince that he would do his best to find out the truth.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will spare no effort to find out the culprit behind this and clear Your Highness and your disciples' names." Chen Jue said firmly.

"Thank you, Lord Chen. If this matter can be properly resolved, I will reward you handsomely." The prince nodded slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Jue quickly launched an investigation. He first started with the prince's followers who were suspected of being unemployed, and questioned them one by one. However, these followers either insisted that they were innocent or kept silent, as if they had something to hide.

Chen Jue came to the home of a disciple named Li San. Chen Jue looked at Li San and asked seriously, "Li San, what do you think about the issue of eating empty salaries?"

Li San lowered his head nervously and said hesitantly, "Master Chen, I am innocent. I have never done such a thing."

"Then why don't you come out and clarify?" Chen Jue asked.

Li San hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm scared. I heard that there is a big shot behind this. I dare not act rashly."

Chen Jue felt that things were not simple and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

During the investigation, Chen Jue encountered various obstacles and interferences. The men of King Jin and King Zhao secretly monitored his every move and tried to stop his investigation. One day, Chen Jue was walking alone in a remote alley, and suddenly, several dark shadows rushed out from the darkness. They were masked, holding sharp blades, and their eyes revealed ferocity.

Chen Jue was startled and immediately realized that he was attacked. He quickly dodged to the side and avoided the attack of the first person who rushed up. The man's knife hit the wall, splashing sparks.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?" Chen Jue shouted loudly.

The attacker did not answer, but continued to swing the knife at Chen Jue. Chen Jue took the opportunity to kick the man in the abdomen and knocked him to the ground.

But the other men did not retreat, they quickly surrounded him. Chen Jue calmly observed their movements, looking for an opportunity to fight back. He suddenly turned around, grabbed one of the men's wrists, twisted it hard, and snatched his knife. Then, he brandished the knife and started a fierce fight with the other men.

These attackers were obviously trained, and their attacks were fierce. Although Chen Jue was very skilled, he gradually felt exhausted. His arm was cut and blood was flowing.

"Hmph, Chen Jue, if you know what's good for you, stop investigating immediately. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time." One of the attackers finally spoke.

"You were sent by King Jin and King Zhao, right? I tell you, I, Chen Jue, will never back down. Justice will surely triumph over evil." Chen Jue responded fearlessly.

Just when Chen Jue was in trouble, he suddenly heard footsteps. It turned out that his men rushed over after hearing the noise. The attackers saw that the situation was not good and quickly fled the scene.

Chen Jue looked at the bloodstains and the mess on the ground, and his determination to find out the truth became stronger. He knew that the King of Jin and the King of Zhao were desperate and would definitely try every means to sabotage his investigation.

But Chen Jue was not intimidated by these difficulties. He firmly believed that justice would eventually triumph over evil. He continued to investigate in depth, not letting go of any clues. After some hard work, Chen Jue finally found some clues.

It turned out that in order to frame the prince's followers, the kings of Jin and Zhao forged a large number of accounts and documents, making people mistakenly believe that these followers were drawing salaries without doing anything. They also bribed some officials and witnesses, preparing to testify against the prince's followers at a critical moment.

Chen Jue was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the key evidence. But he also knew that the King of Jin and the King of Zhao would not give up easily, and they would definitely try every means to sabotage his investigation.

Sure enough, when the King of Jin and the King of Zhao learned that Chen Jue had discovered their conspiracy, they began to take more drastic actions. On the one hand, they sent people to continue spreading rumors in the capital, and on the other hand, they secretly threatened and intimidated Chen Jue.

"Chen Jue, you'd better be sensible and stop meddling in other people's business. Otherwise, you and your family will not have a good ending." An anonymous letter was delivered to Chen Jue, and the content of the letter was full of threats.

Chen Jue looked at the letter in his hand, and was filled with anger. He called his trusted confidant Zhang Wu.

"Zhang Wu, look at this letter. The King of Jin and the King of Zhao are truly insane." Chen Jue said.

Zhang Wu looked at Chen Jue worriedly: "Sir, they are so arrogant, what should we do?"

"The more scared they are, the closer we are to the truth. We can't be intimidated by them. We must expose their conspiracy." Chen Jue said firmly.

At the same time, Wang Feng, one of the prince's disciples, decided to stand up and prove his innocence. Wang Feng was an upright and brave man, and he could not stand that he and his companions were framed without reason. He began to collect evidence to prove that he and other disciples were not empty-handed.

Wang Feng first started with his daily work. He sorted out his work records, attendance records, and work-related documents. He also found some colleagues who worked with him and asked them to testify for him.

Wang Feng found his colleague Liu Si.

"Liu Si, we can't let others frame us. We must stand up and prove our innocence." Wang Feng said.

Liu Si hesitated: "Wang Feng, I also want to prove my innocence, but I am afraid of retaliation."

"What are you afraid of? If we don't stand up, we will never be able to clear our grievances. We must believe in justice," Wang Feng encouraged.

Wang Feng's actions attracted the attention of King Jin and King Zhao, who began to suppress and threaten Wang Feng.

One day, Wang Feng was walking on the road when he was suddenly stopped by several strangers.

"Wang Feng, you'd better behave yourself and stop meddling in other people's business, otherwise you'll be in trouble." One of the strangers said viciously.

Wang Feng was not afraid: "I, Wang Feng, am upright and honest. I am not afraid of your threats. I will definitely make the truth known to the world."

But Wang Feng was not intimidated. He firmly believed in his innocence and that the truth would come to light.

Wang Feng handed the evidence he had collected to Chen Jue. Chen Jue carefully examined the evidence and found that Wang Feng's evidence corroborated the clues he had investigated, further confirming the conspiracy of King Jin and King Zhao.

Chen Jue decided to speed up the investigation and compiled the evidence he found and provided by Wang Feng into a detailed report. With the support of the crown prince, he was ready to make the report public and expose the conspiracy of the King of Jin and the King of Zhao.

When King Jin and King Zhao learned of Chen Jue and Wang Feng's actions, they were horrified and tried to stop them, but it was too late.

Chen Jue and Wang Feng held a public hearing in the capital, showing the evidence and truth they had found to the public. After hearing this, the public suddenly realized that all this was a conspiracy by the King of Jin and the King of Zhao.

"I didn't expect that the King of Jin and the King of Zhao would be so despicable as to frame the prince's followers." said a commoner.

"Yes, it's a good thing we have Lord Chen and Wang Feng, otherwise the prince's followers would have been wrongly accused." Another citizen echoed.

In the end, the conspiracy of the King of Jin and the King of Zhao was completely exposed, and their reputations were greatly damaged. The prince's followers were also cleared of their grievances because of Wang Feng's self-proof of innocence and Chen Jue's investigation.
