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

In the abandoned house in the outskirts of the city, the surroundings are desolate. The broken walls are dilapidated under the erosion of time, and the walls are covered with mottled moss, as if they are the traces left by time. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and the weeds higher than the knees sway in the wind, making rustling sounds, like ghosts whispering, revealing a gloomy atmosphere. Most of the doors and windows of the dilapidated house are incomplete. Through the dark windows, you can vaguely see the accumulated debris and thick dust in the house.

After Chen Jue solved the murderer who hurt Chen Jia, his eyes did not relax at all. He knew very well that the forces behind this were intertwined and he must not let go of any hidden danger that might threaten his sister's safety again.

Chen Jue and his men followed the clues that the murderer might have left behind and began to search for the rest of the gang. They shuttled through the streets and alleys of the capital. The streets of the capital were bustling with people coming and going, the hawkers' cries came and went, and all kinds of shops were full of dazzling goods, showing the prosperity of the capital. But Chen Jue and others had no intention of appreciating this lively scene. Their eyes were sharp and focused, and they did not miss any suspicious corner.

Finally, in a dilapidated house in a dark alley, traces of the murderer's remnants were found. The alley was narrow and deep, with tall and old houses on both sides. The walls were covered with stains of time, and it was difficult for sunlight to fully shine in, making the alley seem a little dim. The roof of the dilapidated house had collapsed in some places, tiles were scattered all over the ground, and the steps at the door were broken and shaky.

After a fierce fight, the remaining gang members were captured one after another. Chen Jue's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with undisguised anger. He stared at the remaining gang members tied to the ground and asked sternly: "Tell me! What other plots do you have? Who else is behind you, besides the King of Jin?"

One of the remaining members was so scared that he was shaking all over. He replied tremblingly: "Sir, we are really just following the orders of King Jin. He asked us to find a chance to get rid of Miss Chen Jia, saying that she was in the way. As for the rest, we really don't know."

Chen Jue frowned, "Hmph, you still dare to quibble! Search carefully, I don't believe we can't find more evidence." His men immediately searched the house. Not long after, someone found a secret letter in a hidden corner. Although the content of the letter was obscure, it was obviously related to some shameful activities of the King of Jin, and it seemed to involve the collusion of some officials in the court.

At this time, the house was filled with an old smell, and dust was flying in the light coming through the broken window. There were spider webs in the corners, and the spiders were quietly waiting for their prey on the webs. The tables and chairs in the house were tilted, and it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

Chen Jue was secretly delighted when he received the secret letter, as it was an important bargaining chip to overthrow the King of Jin. He immediately returned to the Dali Temple with the evidence and prepared to discuss the next course of action with the Crown Prince.

Chen Jue hurried to the prince's mansion. The mansion was magnificent, with a tall and majestic vermilion gate and lifelike stone lions at the gate, as if guarding the majesty of the mansion. Stepping into the mansion, the courtyard was scattered with rockery and ponds, shaded by green trees, and exquisite corridors winding and twisting, connecting various halls and pavilions. Servants came and went, each doing their own job, everything seemed orderly and revealed the dignity and luxury of the royal family.

After being led into the study, I saw the prince with a solemn face. The study was elegantly decorated, with bookshelves filled with all kinds of ancient books, exuding a faint bookish atmosphere. The desk was large and heavy, with the four treasures of the study placed on it. An exquisite oil lamp emitted a soft light, illuminating the prince's slightly thoughtful face.

The prince looked at Chen Jue and asked anxiously, "Chen Jue, did you find anything new this time?"

Chen Jue stepped forward and presented the secret letter. "Your Highness, this time I followed the clues of the murderer and not only dealt with his remaining gang, but also found this secret letter. The letter seems to imply that the King of Jin secretly colluded with some officials in the court with ill intentions."

The prince took the secret letter and read it carefully, his expression becoming more serious. After reading it, he slowly paced, leaving light footsteps on the floor covered with gorgeous carpets. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chen Jue, although this evidence is useful, it is not enough to completely eliminate the power of the King of Jin. The King of Jin has been operating in the court for many years and has a deep foundation. We must come up with a foolproof method."

Chen Jue nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. I have also been thinking that since we have this breakthrough this time, we might as well use this as an opportunity to set up a trap, lure the King of Jin and his followers into the trap, and then take them down in one fell swoop."

The prince's eyes sparkled, "Oh? Tell me what you think."

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, we can spread the word first, saying that the remaining murderer had hidden some important evidence about King Jin in a secret place before being caught, and that the evidence is enough to bring ruin to King Jin. Then, we can arrange for people to secretly monitor the area near the so-called hiding place, and when King Jin sends people to look for evidence, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

After hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, "Although this plan is brilliant, the King of Jin is very shrewd and will probably not be fooled easily. If he realizes that it is a trap set by us, he will be more cautious, and it will be difficult to catch him at that time."

Chen Jue also realized this problem and fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Highness, I have a plan. We can find an official who has a grudge against the King of Jin and let him spread the news. In this way, the King of Jin will be more likely to believe the authenticity of the news, and even if he has doubts, he will focus on the official first, rather than immediately suspecting us."

After hearing Chen Jue's idea, the prince nodded slowly, with a smile of approval on his face, "Chen Jue, this is a very good plan. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and replied, "Your Highness, the Chief Censor Zhang has always been upright and has confronted the King of Jin many times in the court. I think if he were to come forward, the King of Jin would definitely believe it."

The prince clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, good! Just as you say. Chen Jue, this operation is of great importance. You must be careful and cautious and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Chen Jue clasped his fists and saluted, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best and live up to my mission."

After Chen Jue came out of the Prince's Mansion, he rushed back to the Duke's Mansion without stopping. The Duke's Mansion also exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere. The tall gatehouse showed the family's status. The courtyard in the mansion was spacious and tidy, the flowers and trees were neatly trimmed, and the lanterns hanging on the corridors swayed gently in the breeze.

He went straight to Chen Jia's room. At this time, Chen Jia was reading a book in front of the window. The sunlight shone on her through the carved window, outlining her quiet figure. The room was warm and elegant, with elegant curtains fluttering in the wind. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, adding a bit of cultural atmosphere. There were tea sets and some snacks on the table, exuding a faint tea and sweet fragrance.

Seeing Chen Jue returning in a hurry, he put down the book, stood up and greeted him.

"Xiao Jue, did you gain anything from your outing today? You look so hurried, did something big happen?" Chen Jia asked with concern.

Chen Jue pulled Chen Jia to sit down at the table and told her everything that had happened today and the plan he had discussed with the prince.

After listening to this, Chen Jia frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Xiao Jue, although the plan you and His Royal Highness have made is a good one, there are still several loopholes. First, although the Chief Censor Zhang has a grudge against the King of Jin, the King of Jin is not a fool. He may suspect that His Royal Highness has the King of Jin's instructions behind it. Second, even if the King of Jin sends people to look for evidence, he will definitely send experts. If our manpower is not enough and they escape, then all our efforts will be wasted."

Chen Jue was shocked when he heard Chen Jia's analysis. He was only thinking about how to lure the King of Jin into the trap, but ignored these details. He couldn't help but secretly admire his sister's meticulous thinking. "Sister, in your opinion, how should we improve this plan?"

Chen Jia smiled slightly, "Xiao Jue, please listen to me carefully. First of all, we can't just use it to spread the news to Lord Zhang. We can arrange a seemingly accidental encounter, so that Lord Zhang can accidentally reveal the news in a casual conversation with some officials. Moreover, before that, we need to let Lord Zhang deliberately have some minor frictions with some insignificant officials in the court to create the illusion that he is in a bad mood and may speak without thinking. In this way, when King Jin sees Lord Zhang like this, he will be more convinced that he really leaked the secret because of losing control of his emotions."

Chen Jue nodded as he listened, his eyes full of appreciation, "Sister, this is a great idea, but what about manpower?"

Chen Jia went on to say, "For manpower, we cannot rely solely on the conventional forces of the Dali Temple. We can secretly summon some martial arts masters to help. These martial arts masters are usually not bound by the court and can act more flexibly. Moreover, they have no connection with the forces in the court and are not likely to arouse the suspicion of King Jin. We should set up multiple ambushes near the hiding place. We should not only have people in the open, but also masters hidden in the dark, in case of emergency. Once King Jin's men appear, the people in the open will deal with them first, and when they are surrounded, the masters in the dark will suddenly rush out to ensure that they are all captured in one fell swoop."

After hearing Chen Jia's plan, Chen Jue couldn't help but applaud, "Sister, your plan is really perfect! I will go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I believe that with this perfected plan, we will be able to eliminate the King of Jin's forces in one fell swoop and avenge you."

Chen Jia gently held Chen Jue's hand, "Xiao Jue, you must be careful and cautious. King Jin is cunning and scheming, so don't take it lightly. I just hope you can return safely."

Chen Jue looked at his sister, his eyes full of emotion, "Don't worry, sister, I will be careful. Once this matter is settled, we can live a stable life."

After that, Chen Jue hurriedly left the Duke's Mansion again and went to the Prince's Mansion to perfect and implement the plan to eradicate the power of King Jin. Chen Jia sat in the room, looking at the direction where Chen Jue left, silently praying for him in her heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
