"Ms. Ji, what should we do next?" Wenming Xin asked.

Ji Yutang sat leisurely on a chair and drank tea: "Do nothing and wait for Mr. Lu to come back."

Although Wenming Xin was a little confused, he still followed her example and sat down.

Sure enough, within less than a cup of tea, Lu Zheng came back panting: "Ah, you haven't left yet, that's great."

Wenming Xin was puzzled: "Master Lu, what's wrong?"

"Fang Wu's case cannot be closed yet. I need support from Dali Temple." The expression on Lu Zheng's face was complicated.

"Ah? How could this happen?" Wenming Xin and Ji Yutang said in unison, but their mental activities were different. Wenming Xin really didn't know why, while Ji Yutang pretended to be confused.

Lu Zheng hid the fact that he and Liu Ji worked together to make some private money, and only said: "I just had something to go to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji told me something, saying that he was investigating a case of reselling private salt. case, it was discovered that Fang Wu, who was poisoned to death in Zuixiang Building today, was actually involved. Therefore, Fang Wu’s case cannot be closed yet, and the investigation must continue. I think these two cases will also be merged. "

"Fang Wu? Private salt?" Wenming Xin had already thought about it at this time. He looked at Ji Yutang with admiring eyes. No wonder she was so calm. She had unconsciously guided Lu Zheng to the line they wanted to investigate. .

"Yes, the matter is very important. Our Bianjing government office may not have enough manpower and needs the assistance of Dali Temple." Lu Zhengdao. In fact, the manpower of the Bianjing government office was sufficient, but Liu Ji secretly revealed to him that there might be officials in the government office involved in reselling private salt. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he needed outside help.

After hearing these words, Ji Yutang finally let go of the big stone in his heart. Although Xie Huaichu had always heard that Lu Zheng was an honest and good official, she still had some doubts in her heart. Just now, she deliberately reminded Lu Zheng of doing business with private money, just to test his attitude after learning about Fang Wu's involvement in private affairs.

"Then we'll thank you sir." Ji Yutang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then just ask Madam Ji to inform Sir Xiao Xie. This matter involves a wide range of things and it is not appropriate to let more people know." "This means that Xie Huaichu will not be allowed to report to the superiors.

The two nodded in agreement. This was natural. The less people knew about them, the safer they would be.

Lu Zheng said again: "It's getting late. Let's meet here at 9 o'clock tomorrow to discuss it?"

"Okay, let's meet on time tomorrow at nine o'clock."

Ji Yutang and Wenming Xin separated after leaving the Bianjing government office. Wenming Xin said that he should strike while the iron was hot and ask the relative who was on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, so Ji Yutang went home alone.

When Ji Yutang arrived at the door of his house, he found that the door to the courtyard was ajar. Pushing aside, Wenjuan was already half asleep on a wicker chair in the courtyard. She was covered with a blanket and had a lantern at her feet.

Wenjuan woke up when she heard the noise. When she saw it was Ji Yutang, she was very happy: "Little sister, you're back."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I came back late. Why don't you go to sleep in the house? What should you do if you catch a cold? You are twins now." Ji Yutang was moved and guilty.

Wenjuan packed up the blanket, picked up the lantern and walked back: "Why am I so squeamish? I was afraid that I would sleep too hard and not hear you calling me to open the door, so I just sat in the yard and waited for you. As a result, Waiting and waiting to fall asleep.”

Ji Yutang warned her: "Sister-in-law, you can't do this again in the future. You must lock the courtyard door when you are at home alone, so as not to be targeted by thieves. The neighborhood is not particularly peaceful, so you should be more cautious. Official The silver reward has not been paid out yet, but once it is paid out, we will be able to live in a new house with better security."

"Okay, okay, I understand. I will lock the courtyard door in the future." Wen Juan said.

After a peaceful night, Ji Yutang packed up and went out before dawn the next day. She was going to find Xie Huaichu and tell him what Lu Zheng had told him.

At this time, Xie Huaichu had changed drastically. In order to monitor the movements of those people more easily and to prevent being recognized, Xie Huaichu changed his clothes and even put a layer of turmeric powder on his face. At best, he is now a slightly more upright person among the public, which is very different from his past image.

Xie Huaichu leaned against the window, nibbling Hu pancakes, thinking about the mutton soup he had eaten at Ji Yutang's house, and stared at the scene below.

I saw that Liu's clothing store, like other stores, opened its doors early and laid out fabrics waiting for customers to come. There was no movement at the embroidery shop next door. A customer who had ordered embroidery came to knock on the door to inquire, but no one opened the door for a long time.

"Weird." Xie Huaichu muttered, closed the window and prepared to go down to check. The moment he closed the window, there was a sound of a window closing vigorously next door.

Xie Huaichu suddenly shivered. Could it be that someone like him was watching Liu Yichi and the others at Fengyu Inn? Then this person must be related to this case! He quickly rushed out of the room and met a man who came out in a hurry.

With a "bang", they both fell to the ground at the same time. Xie Huaichu grabbed the man before he could react and cursed: "Are you blind? Don't you have eyes?"

The man had a pair of triangular eyes and a black mole at the corner of his right eye, which made him look very evil. He tried to shake off Xie Huaichu's hand, but unfortunately Xie Huaichu used all his strength and couldn't break free for a while.

"What? You hit someone and you want to run away? Let's go and meet the official with me." Xie Huaichu pretended to be a rogue and pulled him away.

When he heard that he was going to see an official, the man became anxious and struggled desperately: "What are you doing? Are you trying to blackmail someone? Damn it, get out of here!" As he said that, he punched and kicked Xie Huaichu.

Xie Huaichu didn't know martial arts, and he couldn't do it after being punched in the abdomen. His eyes were in pain and he said, "Okay, okay, if you don't see the official, you have to pay some compensation, right? If you keep hitting me, I'll call someone."

The man stopped, spat, took off the purse from his waist and swung it towards Xie Huaichu: "I told you earlier, it turned out to be a quarrel, bah, what a bad luck."

Xie Huaichu pretended to grab the purse, but in fact he quickly tore off a jade plaque from his waist.

"Fuck you, you still want to steal my purse. I can only give you charity, you are not qualified to steal it." The man kicked Xie Huaichu again, but he did not notice that the jade medal around his waist was torn off by Xie Huaichu.

Xie Huaichu curled up to protect his vitals. The man was tired from beating him, and the guests around him heard the noise and came out to check. He was afraid that the impact would be too great, so he threw a piece of silver and left in a hurry.

Ji Yutang happened to reach the stairs and met the man face to face, and was startled by his ferocious expression. After going up to the second floor, Ji Yutang almost screamed when he ran into a big yellow face with a gray head.

"Shh, Madam Ji, it's me, it's me." Xie Huaichu quickly stopped her.

Ji Yutang was confused, why was this voice so familiar? She looked over carefully and saw that although her face was yellow, her facial features were vaguely delicate.

"Thank you, sir?" Ji Yutang asked cautiously.

"Yes, that's right." Xie Huaichu stood up holding his stomach, grinning in pain: "Mrs. Ji, could you please help me take a look at the injuries on my body? That triangle eye was too cruel."
