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

After the thrilling wolf attack at Jinhua Tower, the entire capital was shrouded in gloom. Chen Jue and Chen Jia conducted an in-depth investigation and finally found out the mastermind behind it - Lord Lin. Now, they have to make him receive the punishment he deserves, restore peace to the capital, and give everyone an explanation.

Chen Jue went to the palace to meet the prince and reported the details of the investigation. The prince sat in the magnificent palace, and after listening to Chen Jue's statement, his face was terribly gloomy. He slammed the imperial desk heavily and shouted angrily: "This Lord Lin is so bold that he dared to seek personal gain in such a cruel way in the capital, in front of everyone. He is simply lawless and treats my people like grass!"

Chen Jue bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Lord Lin's actions not only endangered many innocent lives, but were also a blatant provocation to the majesty of the court. If he is not severely punished, I am afraid that someone will follow suit in the future, and there will be no peace in the capital."

The prince stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. After a moment, he stopped and said resolutely: "Chen Jue, you quickly go and gather the relevant witnesses and evidence. I want to personally try this case in the court, so that Lord Lin cannot deny it, and let all the ministers see that I will never tolerate any violation of laws and disciplines."

"I obey your command." Chen Jue took the order and left.

The atmosphere in the court was so heavy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. The ministers stood on both sides, all of them feeling the prince's wrath. Lord Lin was escorted up, his face was haggard, his former majesty had long since disappeared, but there was still a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

The prince sat high on the dragon throne, his eyes were like torches, he looked directly at Lord Lin, and said majestically: "Lord Lin, do you admit your guilt?"

Lord Lin pretended to be calm, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what crime I have committed. I have always served the court loyally. Someone must have deliberately framed me. Please investigate carefully."

The prince snorted coldly: "Master Lin still dares to quibble. Chen Jue, you submit the results of the investigation and let him die with a clear conscience."

Chen Jue stood up, holding a stack of files, and said loudly: "Master Lin, Madam Chen and I found the place where the wolves were imprisoned outside Jinhua Tower. There is evidence of your collusion with the Shadow Sect, as well as the records of your conversation with your accomplices in the manor about how to use the wolves to create chaos in order to obtain the right to build a water conservancy project. These are irrefutable evidences. Do you still want to deny it?"

When Lord Lin heard this, his body trembled slightly, but he still said stubbornly: "This... this must have been forged by someone, who wants to put me to death."

Chen Jue sneered: "Master Lin, the wolf cage in the abandoned house has the mark of the Shadow Sect engraved on it, and we have also found a witness who knows about the Shadow Sect, proving that you have a deal with them. How do you explain it?"

Lord Lin was speechless for a moment, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this time, Chen Jia stood up, bowed to the prince, then looked at Lord Lin and said slowly: "Lord Lin, you almost killed many innocent people for your own selfish desires. At the banquet, those noble ladies and young masters, who were enjoying a happy time, fell into extreme fear because of your evil deeds. Have you ever thought about how you would feel if your family was also among them?"

Lord Lin's face turned pale, he lowered his head and remained silent.

The prince spoke again: "Lord Lin, as an official of the court, you should set an example, seek welfare for the people, and share the worries of the court. But you did such a heinous thing. How can I forgive you?"

Lord Lin knew that the situation was hopeless. He collapsed to the ground and cried, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by the interests and did such a wrong thing. I am willing to accept the punishment, but I only ask Your Highness to be lenient. I still have old and young people at home..."

The prince looked at Lord Lin without a trace of pity in his eyes: "Lord Lin, you have committed such a serious crime. How can I explain to the world if I give you a lighter sentence? The law of the country is ruthless. I cannot violate the law because of your pleading."

Chen Jue continued, "Your Highness, Lord Lin is colluding with the Shadow Sect. The Shadow Sect has committed many evil deeds in the martial arts world. If it is not completely eradicated, there may be more trouble in the future. I suggest that the Shadow Sect be encircled and suppressed as well."

The prince nodded and said, "Chen Jue is right. I will immediately order the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guard to join forces to wipe out the Shadow Sect."

Chen Jue took the order and led the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guards to quickly launch an operation based on the location of the Shadow Gate's lair that they had investigated before. The location of the Shadow Gate was in a difficult terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, but Chen Jue had already made a comprehensive deployment.

He stood outside the Shadow Gate and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, today we have to eliminate a threat to the people of the capital and seek justice for those who were frightened by the wolf attack. Everyone, move forward bravely and don't retreat!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes, sir!"

The battle started, the Shadow Sect's minions fought desperately, but gradually they could not hold out under the fierce attack of the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guards. Chen Jue led the charge, holding a long sword, as if he was in an empty space, his sword skills were sharp, and wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another.

"You evil villains, your days of doing evil will come to an end today!" Chen Jue roared while fighting.

In the fierce battle, Chen Jue found the leader of the Shadow Sect. The leader was tall, with a face full of flesh, holding a big knife, and looked very fierce.

"Chen Jue, you dare to come to my Shadow Sect and act wildly. Today is the day you die!" The leader of the Shadow Sect roared and rushed towards Chen Jue.

Chen Jue was not afraid and went forward. The two fought back and forth, with sword shadows and knife lights interlaced. Chen Jue saw the right moment and used a move called "Wind Breaking Stab". His long sword stabbed at the leader of the Shadow Sect like lightning. The leader of the Shadow Sect dodged in a hurry, but his arm was still scratched.

"Hmph, you're nothing more than that." Chen Jue sneered.

The leader of the Shadow Sect was furious and swung his sword wildly, wanting to kill Chen Jue. But Chen Jue responded calmly. He was agile and cleverly avoided the attack, and then used a series of sharp sword moves to beat the leader of the Shadow Sect back step by step.

Finally, Chen Jue used his ultimate move "Fatal Sword Shadow". The sword shadows were so heavy that the leader of the Shadow Sect could not resist. He was stabbed in the chest by Chen Jue and fell to the ground.

As the leader of the Shadow Sect fell, the followers of the Shadow Sect surrendered one after another. Chen Jue successfully wiped out the Shadow Sect.

After returning to the court, Chen Jue reported to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, the Shadow Sect has been wiped out, and Lord Lin's accomplices have all been arrested."

The prince nodded with satisfaction: "Chen Jue, you have performed a great deed this time. I will reward you handsomely. How should Lord Lin and his accomplices be dealt with according to the law?"

Chen Jue replied, "Your Highness, Lord Lin is the main culprit and should be beheaded as a warning to others. His accomplices should be exiled or imprisoned according to the severity of their crimes."

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do as Chen Jue said. I want everyone in the world to know that those who break the law will never have a good end."

With Lord Lin being beheaded and his accomplices being punished according to law, the Jinhua Tower attack incident finally came to an end. The capital city returned to its former prosperity and peace.
