Ji Yutang was puzzled: "That man is all wrapped up, so conspicuous. How could you not be impressed, Mr. Wen?"

"Oh, I'm only here to save you, so I don't have time to think about anything else." Wenming Xin turned his head and stopped continuing the topic, "Ms. Ji, let's go see how Huaichu is doing? I just saw Lu Your Excellency has woken up, but Huaichu is still unconscious."

Ji Yutang immediately rushed to Xie Huaichu's place anxiously. She turned back and waved to Yuan Si: "Brother, you are a soldier of the Bianjing government office, and you witnessed what happened today with your own eyes. You will need to take a statement later. You go first. Find Mr. Lu, and when the matter is settled, I will go to the Bianjing government office to find you."

"Okay." Yuan Si responded timidly, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was as soft as the wind, "Sister."

Wenming Xin looked down at him and reached out to rub his messy hair: "You're a blessing in disguise. You met a soft-hearted person."

Yuan Si did not refute him, his eyes stayed on the calluses on his fingertips.

Wen Wenming Xin didn't notice, and was still telling him happily about Ji Yutang's past deeds, praising Ji Yutang to the heavens and the earth.

On the other side, Xie Huaichu was half lying in Lu Zheng's arms. Lu Zheng touched his hot forehead and said, "Why are you still not good after taking Ji Niangzi's detoxifying pill? I'm fine. Your head is hot, and it won't burn you." Right? Mr. Xie, please hold on a little longer. We are so busy right now that no one will care about us for the time being."

When Ji Yutang came over, she heard these words and she hated the iron. "Mr. Lu, why don't you go and take charge of the overall situation even though you are fine? After all, you are an official as big as Bianjing Prefecture Yin, so you can't be impressed?"

Lu Zheng said with a sad face: "Mrs. Ji, you don't know something. I have just been dismissed."

Ji Yutang's face was full of black lines. She first shut down the system to prevent the gossip that kept popping up when she came into contact with Xie Huaichu from affecting her treatment, and then checked Xie Huaichu's condition.

"No, I need to be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. I don't have any antipyretic medicine with me, and I don't have any silver needles. There's nothing I can do." She touched Xie Huaichu's hot forehead and urged Lu Zheng urgently, "Hurry up and take a ride." Hand, let’s take him to a nearby hospital.”

Lu Zheng said weakly: "Ms. Ji, before I have finished what I just said, I have been dismissed. Mr. Cui Xincui of the Criminal Trial Court has been assigned by the superiors to take over the case with full authority."

"So? Does it have anything to do with us taking Mr. Xie to the hospital?" Ji Yutang was so angry that he wanted to scratch someone.

"It does matter." Lu Zheng kept his distance from her silently, "Master Cui said that no one is allowed to act rashly before he speaks."

"Then let Xie Huaichu burn to death here with a high fever?" Ji Yutang was so angry that he called out Xie Huaichu's full name without hesitation.

Lu Zheng was helpless: "How can I bear it? I just asked Mr. Cui for instructions, but he refused directly. I really have no choice. Mr. Cui is a confidant of the official family. The Court of Justice he is in charge of has a higher status than the Ministry of Punishment. He said no, even if I wear my tongue, it won't work."

Ji Yutang gritted his teeth and said, "How about we go find some spirits and cotton cloth?"

"Okay, I will definitely take care of it." Lu Zheng hurriedly looked for it, but fell down because he was too hasty.

Ji Yutang called Yuan Si to come over and together they moved Xie Huaichu to a deserted place in the corridor and directly pulled open his belt.

Yuan Si turned away: "Sister Ji, what are you going to do?"

While Ji Yutang was taking off Xie Huaichu's clothes, he replied, "I'll rub him with liquor to cool him down later. He's overheated. If he doesn't cool down, he'll become a fool."

It happened that at this time Xie Huaichu twitched twice.

Ji Yutang patted his face and said in a pity tone: "Look, he's so burned that he's become a fool. What should he do? If he looks like a flower, he will definitely be bullied."

Yuan Si had a dark look on his face, what are you doing by acting like a gangster!

Lu Zheng hurried over with a jar of wine and a pack of cotton cloth. Seeing this scene, he almost dropped the wine jar in his hand.

"Ms. Ji, you, you..."

Lu Zheng looked around and found no one, and his hanging heart dropped a little. He leaned into Ji Yutang's ear and said: "We will be fine. Don't think about it to extremes. Don't think about the last moments of your life." Having fun or something..."

Ji Yutang couldn't bear it anymore, pushed Lu Zheng away, and took the wine and cotton cloth from his hand: "Get out of the way and shut up."

Lu Zheng covered his mouth obediently and squatted beside Yuan Si.

Ji Yutang's sharp evening breeze swept across them: "Huh, useless men!"

Yuan Si decisively distanced himself from Lu Zheng, and diligently helped Ji Yutang wipe Xie Huaichu's body with a cotton cloth dipped in strong liquor.

After working for a while, Xie Huaichu's body temperature finally dropped a bit.

Ji Yutang collapsed to the side from exhaustion. He was really unlucky today. Accidents kept happening and they never stopped. She was so tired that she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep, but Xie Huaichu hadn't woken up yet, so she couldn't feel relieved and could only hold on and wait.

"Master Lu, is Mr. Cui Xin who took over this case easy to get along with? You seem to be afraid of him." Ji Yutang cheered up and chatted with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng sighed: "How should I put it? Mr. Cui has a good temper and a clear style, but he is quite stubborn, to the point where even eight horses can't pull him back. As long as it is something he has decided, No one can change it, not even the officials can defeat him. Just like what happened today, I told him that Mr. Xie had a high fever and needed to find a doctor quickly, but he said that no one could be released to prevent the suspect from escaping. I said it was Master Xiao Xie, not someone else, or else I asked him to send someone trustworthy to take Master Xiao Xie out, or to invite a doctor from outside, but he didn’t agree."

Ji Yutang complained: "This is called being rigid and not knowing how to adapt."

Lu Zheng scratched his head: "You can't be so straightforward. It's not good for word to spread. Although I have been temporarily removed from my post, there is still hope of returning to officialdom. We will still have to deal with it in the future. It is better to have less to worry about than to do more."

"Master Lu, you were dismissed because you led troops into the Qiu Mansion rashly? You shouldn't. How could you impose such a severe punishment?" Ji Yutang was puzzled.

Lu Zheng spread his hands: "I don't know what's going on. Not long after it happened, the news that I was betrayed by the general's army has not spread yet, right? Why was my officer dismissed? I can't understand it either. Still a victim!”

"Perhaps the court thinks you are too useless?" Ji Yutang complained coldly, "Ever since I met Mr. Lu, I have been very curious that a person with no strength like you can stay in such an important position as the governor of Bianjing for so many years. Now it's okay, you have been dismissed from office, and my hanging heart is finally no longer hanging, now I feel at ease."

Lu Zheng was extremely sad, pointed at Ji Yutang and said, "Ms. Ji, your words are so hurtful."

"Oh, really? I think it's okay, I'm just telling the truth." Ji Yutang asked Yuan Si, "Am I right?"

Yuan Si nodded without thinking: "Sister Ji is certainly right."

Ji Yutang smiled with satisfaction, but Lu Zheng was so angry that he said, "Hey, you are a soldier of the Bianjing government office. Are you turning your elbows outward?"

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to tickle Yuan Si, but Yuan Si flexibly twisted away. Lu Zheng didn't even check and slipped on Xie Huaichu.

"Ahem, I'm going to be crushed to death." Xie Huaichu said angrily.
