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

The atmosphere in the Dali Temple was heavy and tense. Chen Jia brought witnesses and evidence of Jia Mo's private manufacture of weapons, like a thunderbolt of trial, filling the entire scene with a sense of oppression that was about to explode.

Jammu stood there, his face pale, his eyes fixed on the witnesses and evidence, as if he couldn't believe that everything he had carefully planned was exposed. After a moment, he suddenly exploded like an enraged beast.

"This is all a false accusation! This is all a frame-up by the Wei family against my Jia family!"

Jamo shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the hall of the Dali Temple.

Chen Jia looked at Jia Mo coldly, without a trace of pity in her eyes.

"Jia Mo, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to deny it? You privately manufactured weapons with the intention of treason. This is an unforgivable crime."

Jia Mo still refused to admit it, "I didn't! My Jia family has been loyal for generations, how could we do such a thing? Someone must have deliberately framed us."

"Your crimes can no longer be covered up. Any excuses you make now are futile."

But Jia Mo simply couldn't listen. He continued to yell, "You are slandering me! This is a conspiracy! My Jia family will not be defeated by you like this."

At this time, Chen Jue decided to let Sima Feier go to court as a witness.

Sima Fei'er walked slowly into the hall, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Sima Fei'er, tell me everything you know."

Sima Fei'er took a deep breath and began to tell her story.

"My mother was once a maid of the Jia family, and later became a concubine of the Jia family. However, the Jia family has never recognized us. I have lived in the ridicule and discrimination of others since I was a child. I have always longed for the recognition of the Jia family. In order to gain the recognition of the Jia family, I worked desperately for the Jia family."

Chen Jia asked: "What exactly happened?"

Sima Fei'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Jia Mo asked me to capture the Qing people who were at war for the smuggling business in the border areas. Gao Yan was captured at that time."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

They had not imagined that Jammu was actually involved in border smuggling and the arrest of Qing people.

Chen Jue looked at Jia Mo and said, "Jia Mo, do you have anything else to say?"

"My last name is Jia, her last name is Sima. She is not from my Jia family. She is giving false testimony! She is a villain with ulterior motives who wants to frame my Jia family."

Jia Mo roared at the top of his lungs, spitting everywhere, and looked as if he wanted to eat Sima Fei'er alive.

Sima Fei'er already had some resentment in her heart, and was immediately furious when she was accused by Jia Mo.

She glared at him and shouted back, "Jiamo, you are the real shameless one! You used me as a pawn, and now you want to put all the blame on me. Do you think you can get away with it?"

Jamo was so angry that he trembled all over, "Who do you think you are? How dare you, a lowly maidservant's daughter, slander me."

Sima Fei'er's tears welled up in her eyes. "I have done so many wrong things to gain your approval, but what about you? You treat me as a tool and throw me away after use."

"Shut up! You are slandering me. This is malicious slander. My Jia family has been loyal for generations and would never do such a thing."

"A loyal and good man for generations? Haha, that's ridiculous. Not only did you privately manufacture weapons and smuggle them across the border, you also used Qing to redeem people and made countless dirty money. You colluded with those Qing captives, made them the shopkeepers of your Qing shop, and even resold a large number of weapons and armor. You sold out the interests of the country for your own selfish interests. You are simply a disloyal and unrighteous villain."

"You are not a good person either, Sima Fei'er. In order to escape punishment, you harmed the general's wives in Shouchun City."

"You said that as long as I act according to your plan, my mother and I will be recognized by the Jia family and live a good life. I left Shouchun City with my wives because I believed your lies. You asked me to take my wives to Qing State to redeem people, but I didn't expect that the Qing army would humiliate the general's wives because of Gao Yan's incident. All this is your fault!"

Tears glistened in her eyes. "You asked me to torture Gao Yan in order to get a high price. Gao Yan thought I was seeking revenge for the folks in Blackwater Bay. But there was another reason. You wanted to play the role of the benefactor who rescued Gao Yan, so that I could be the bad guy."

But Jia Mo snorted coldly, "Humph, that's just your greed, you want to get benefits."

"I'm greedy? I've lived in the ridicule and discrimination of others since I was a child, because my mother was a maid of the Jia family, and later became a concubine. We have always been looked down upon. I thought that as long as I worked for the Jia family, I could change our fate, but you just treated me as a chess piece and threw me away after you were done with me."

"Don't make yourself sound so innocent. You've gained a lot from this process, haven't you?"

Jia Mo glared at Sima Fei'er and accused her sharply, "Sima Fei'er, don't pretend to be a good person here. You took so much ransom and dressed your mother in gold and silver. You are clearly enjoying wealth and honor by stepping on the blood of generals' wives."

Sima Fei'er's face turned pale in an instant, and a trace of pain and anger flashed in her eyes.

She retorted with a trembling voice: "Jammu, you are the real villain. Everything I did was forced by you. I never thought of hurting anyone."

Jia Mo sneered and continued, "Humph, forced? You were just doing it for your own benefit. Later, you became more powerful and married Yang Xiu to get rid of me, but in the end, you were still caught by me. Do you think you can easily escape my control?"

Sima Feier was completely defeated and cursed emotionally: "Jia Mo, you are a devil. I am already married, and you still want me to do things for the Jia family and deal with Gao Yan and his garbage. You have never regarded me as a family member, but only as your tool."

Jia Mo said disapprovingly: "You are a pawn of the Jia family. It is your duty to work for the Jia family."

Sima Feier was furious and shouted, "I am not your pawn. Look at what you have done. I took the brothers from Blackwater Bay to do the hard labor of moving the weapons in the underground armory of Southeast Drum Tower at night. You have never cared about our lives and only knew how to use us."

Jamo's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to his indifference.

That's what you should do. You lowly people, it's your honor to work for the Jia family."

Sima Fei'er burst into tears, and she said angrily: "Jia Mo, you will be punished."

At this moment, Chen Jue keenly seized the opportunity when Jia Mo admitted that Sima Fei'er was his family member.

Chen Jue took a step forward, looked at Jia Mo firmly, and said, "Jia Mo, you just admitted that Sima Fei'er is your family member. Now that she is a witness, plus the physical evidence we have, you can no longer deny it. Now that there is both human and physical evidence, your crime is obvious."

Jia Mo's face was terribly gloomy. He glared at Chen Jue fiercely and was silent for a moment.

Then, he suddenly laughed a few times, and that laughter was full of madness and despair.

"Hahahaha, you are dreaming of shaking the foundation of the Jia family! How can you easily shake the power of my Jia family in the court?"

Chen Jia frowned and said sternly: "Jia Mo, you still don't repent. Your Jia family has committed such a serious crime and will be punished by law."

Jia Mo was not afraid at all, and his eyes revealed a kind of determination. "Law? In this officialdom, the law is just a tool in your hands. My Jia family will not fall easily."

However, just when everyone thought that Jammu would continue to resist, he suddenly made a surprising move.

Jamo quickly pulled out a small bottle from his arms, opened the cap, and drank the liquid inside.

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and Chen Jue exclaimed: "Oh no, he committed suicide by taking poison!"

There was chaos in the Dali Temple, and the guards rushed forward to check on Jia Mo, but Jia Mo was already foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground unconscious.

Chen Jia and Chen Jue looked at each other. They knew that although Jia Mo committed suicide by taking poison, their investigation into the Jia family would not stop there.
