Chapter 36 Let’s cooperate!

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

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

　　Although Wenming Xin was a little confused, he still sat down like her.

　　Sure enough, in 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 the Dali Temple." Lu Zheng's expression was complicated.

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

　　Lu Zheng concealed the fact that he and Liu Ji had partnered up to make some private money, and only said, "I just went to see Liu Ji for something, and Liu Ji told me something. He said that he was investigating a case of smuggling salt, and found that Fang Wu, who was poisoned to death in Zui Xiang Lou today, was actually involved in it. So Fang Wu's case cannot be closed yet, and we have to continue investigating. I think these two cases have to be merged."

　　"Fang Wu? Smuggled salt?" Wenming Xin had come to his senses by now. He looked at Ji Yutang with admiration. No wonder she was so calm. It turned out that she had unknowingly led Lu Zheng to the line they wanted to investigate.

　　"Yes, this is a serious matter. I may not have enough staff in the Bianjing government office, so I need the assistance of the Dali Temple." Lu Zheng said. In fact, the Bianjing government office had enough staff, but Liu Ji secretly told him that there might be officials in the government office who were involved in the illegal sale of salt. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he needed help from outside.

　　Ji Yutang finally put down her heart after hearing this. Although she had always heard Xie Huaichu say that Lu Zheng was an honest and upright official, she still had some doubts in her heart. Just now, she deliberately let Lu Zheng think of doing business with private money, just to test his attitude after he knew about Fang Wu's involvement in the private salt business.

　　"Then we will let Mr. Xie know." Ji Yutang breathed a sigh of relief.

　　"Okay, then please ask Madam Ji to inform Lord Xie. This matter involves a wide range of people and it is not appropriate to let more people know." This means that Xie Huaichu is not allowed to report it to his superiors.

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

　　Lu Zheng said again: "It's getting late. Let's meet here at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow to discuss this matter."

　　"Okay, let's meet on time tomorrow at 5:00 a.m."

　　After Ji Yutang and Wenmingxin left the Bianjing government office, they separated. Wenmingxin said that he would strike while the iron was hot and he would go ask his relative who worked in the Ministry of Justice, so Ji Yutang went home alone.

　　When Ji Yutang arrived at the door of the house, he found that the door of the courtyard was half-closed. When he pushed it open, he saw Wen Juan was half-lying on a rattan chair in the yard and asleep, with a blanket covering her and a lantern at her feet.

　　Hearing the noise, Wen Juan woke up faintly. When she saw that it was Ji Yutang, she was very happy: "Little sister, you are back."

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