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

Chen Jue dragged his tired body back home. When Chen Jia saw him like this, she knew that he must be worried about the case of Jia Mo's occupation of farmland.

"Ajue, is there any progress in the investigation today?" Chen Jia asked with concern.

Chen Jue sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "We made some new discoveries at the crime scene today. Officials from the Dali Temple found a piece of cloth at the scene that looked like it was left by Jia Mo's men. We followed this clue and found that the cloth came from a tailor shop that specializes in making clothes for the rich and powerful."

"I'm afraid this piece of cloth alone is not enough to convict Jammu."

“I am well aware of this.”

"Ajue, since this piece of cloth came from a tailor shop, we can start from there. Maybe this tailor shop has made other clothes for Jia Mo's men, or has relevant order records."

"Sister, you are absolutely right."

Chen Jia continued to analyze, "In addition, we can also visit the people whose farmland was occupied again. Maybe someone saw other special behaviors or items used by Jammu's men when they occupied their farmland."

"it is good."

The next day, Chen Jue and Liao Feng came to the tailor shop. The owner of the tailor shop looked a little nervous when he saw them.

Chen Jue got straight to the point and said, "Boss, we are officials from the Dali Temple. We found a piece of cloth from your tailor shop and would like to ask if you have made clothes for Jia Mo's men?"

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I have indeed made clothes for some dignitaries, but I don't know who they were. Those who came to make clothes were all fierce and rude. As soon as they came in, they shouted that they wanted the clothes to be made quickly, saying that their masters were in urgent need of them. I didn't dare to ask more questions, so I could only make clothes according to their requirements."

Liao Feng said at the side: "Boss, if you can provide useful clues, we will keep it confidential for you."

The boss searched for it, took out an account book, and said, "Sir, this is my order record."

Chen Jue took the account book, checked it carefully, and confirmed the importance of this clue. After thanking the boss, they came to the village where the farmland was occupied.

The villagers saw them coming again and gathered around. Chen Jue said, "Fellow villagers, we came here to ask you if there is any other evidence to prove that Jia Mo was guilty of occupying farmland?"

A villager said, "Sir, I remember now. When Jammu's men were encroaching on farmland that day, I saw a box on their carriage, which seemed to have the Jammu family emblem on it."

Chen Jue was delighted and said, "Are you sure?"

The villager said affirmatively: "I am sure. I saw it clearly at that time."

Chen Jue and Liao Feng immediately sent people to look for the carriage.

After some searching, they finally found the carriage and a box with the Jammu family crest on it.

With these evidences, Chen Jue and Liao Feng returned to the Dali Temple with full confidence. They began to organize the evidence and prepare to interrogate Jia Mo.

As night fell, thousands of lights came on. In Chen Jue's home, the aroma of dinner filled the air, but Chen Jue seemed to be worried.

Chen Jia looked at her brother and said softly, "Ajue, I think you can go to Ruiqing. Ruiqing knows the relationship between Jia Mo and Sima Fei'er. Sima Fei'er is suffering in Xia Pi City, but Jia Mo doesn't care. Maybe Sima Fei'er has realized that she has been abandoned, and she may become a tainted witness against Jia Mo."

Chen Jue frowned, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Sister, I don't want to see this woman."

Chen Jia sighed slightly and said earnestly: "Ajue, I know you are thinking about me, but we can't miss the opportunity to punish Jia Mo because of personal grudges.

Chen Jue thought for a long time, finally nodded, and said: "Okay, sister, can you invite Sima Feier to the teahouse for tea?"

"Okay, I'll write and invite her."

In the teahouse, the light was dim and the air was filled with a faint scent of tea, but it could not conceal the tense and solemn atmosphere.

Sima Fei'er sat there quietly, her limp made her body slightly hunched. Her former beauty and brilliance had long since disappeared, replaced by fatigue and loneliness after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.

"Jia Mo, under the control of the Southeast Drum Tower, privately forged weapons and helped Gao Yan raise private soldiers in the capital."

Although Sima Fei'er's voice was not loud, it hit Chen Jia and Chen Jue's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Chen Jue frowned, "Do you have any evidence?"

Sima Fei'er was silent for a long time before she slowly raised her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Once, I happened to see Jammu leaving a place in a hurry. Out of curiosity, I quietly followed him. Unexpectedly, he came to a hidden place in the southeast drum tower. The entrance was very hidden, blocked by dense vegetation and some dilapidated buildings, and it was difficult for ordinary people to detect it. When I got closer to there, I saw weapons forging."

Then, Sima Feier took out a tattered map from her arms and unfolded it carefully.

The edges of the map are a bit worn, and although the lines are a bit blurry, you can roughly see the location of the entrance and the surrounding terrain.

This is a map of another entrance to the southeast Drum Tower. I took the risk of drawing it. ”

Chen Jia took the map and gently ran her fingers across the lines on the map.

"Jia Mo has a half-sister, who is Gao Yang's beloved concubine. Before the current emperor conquered the country, Jia Mo had been wandering with this half-sister."

Chen Jue asked again: "Do you have any other evidence for what you said?"

Sima Feier took out a small box from her sleeve.

She opened the box and found a letter inside.

"It has Gao Yang's seal on it. Although the content of the letter does not explicitly mention the private forging of weapons and the raising of private soldiers, it can prove the close relationship between Jia Mo and Gao Yang."

Chen Jue took the letter and carefully examined the seal and handwriting on it.

There was a crazy fire burning in Sima Fei'er's eyes, an explosion after being suppressed for a long time.

"My life is ruined! Those generals' wives and daughters who returned to the capital didn't call me a bitch. I deserved this fate. They followed me wherever I went, tormenting me all the time."

Sima Fei'er's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"I once thought he would be my support, but he abandoned me when I needed him the most. He looked at me as if I were a disgusting monster. I've had enough, I've really had enough! I want to rush out of that suffocating place."

She raised her head and stared at Chen Jue closely. "Afterwards, ask the emperor to give me another certificate, so that I can get a house and live outside, and ask other ladies not to bother me anymore."

Chen Jue was silent for a moment, "If this can be accomplished, I will try my best to ask the emperor to meet your request."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Sima Fei'er's eyes. "You must keep your word."

Chen Jue looked at Chen Jia in embarrassment, and Chen Jia answered for him, "Okay."

"Thank you, Master Chen. Thank you, Chen Jia."
