Chapter 682: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Shu Yu wasn't surprised. After all, Carpenter Yao also knew Qi Chan and even wanted to meet him, so it was likely that he came from the capital.
She delved deeper into her thoughts and even suspected that he had probably held an official position before.
As expected, Lu Erbai sighed and said, "He used to work in the Ministry of Works in the capital. He was an official."
Shu Yu thought to herself that she had actually guessed correctly. "Did Uncle Yao tell you all of this?"
"No, not at all. He wasn't willing to talk about his past experiences. I learned about it from his son. When brother Yao was working in the Ministry of Works, he put a lot of effort into his craft rather than focusing on advancing his career. I've known him for quite some time, and his craftsmanship is truly remarkable. He has a lot of knowledge, and I've learned a great deal from him. I've benefited a lot."
"Unfortunately, he was completely devoted to his craft and didn't care about promotions or wealth. But others did. There was one time when he made a small agricultural tool that was lightweight and highly useful. But a colleague stole it and not only claimed it as his own work but also accused brother Yao of theft."
"Brother Yao is not someone who knows how to navigate through such situations, and he's not good with words. Moreover, the other person had influential backing. Brother Yao... he just focused on his wooden tools and didn't get along with others in the ministry. No one spoke up for him. In the end, he ended up being exiled."
Fortunately, brother Yao had some savings, so his wife and children came with him.
After arriving in Heichang County, he unexpectedly gained the favor of many wealthy households due to his exceptional skills and managed to earn a good amount of money.
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So, what does he plan to do by meeting Mr. Qi?"
"From what I heard, he made another rare item that he wants to present to Mr. Qi." Lu Erbai wasn't entirely sure. "I went with him to the county yamen earlier, but we couldn't enter. The guards stopped us, and I heard brother Yao say that Mr. Qi had helped him before, so he wanted to meet him in person."
"Has uncle Yao returned home now?"
Lu Erbai nodded. "Yes, he has. He said he wants to think of another way to meet Mr. Qi."
Shu Yu couldn't help but tighten her grip on the token that Qi Chan had given her. It would be quite convenient for her to meet him.
"Oh, by the way," Lu Erbai suddenly remembered something and widened his eyes, whispering, "I saw boss He at the entrance of the county yamen just now."
"Hmm?" Shu Yu snapped out of her thoughts and raised an eyebrow. "At the entrance of the county yamen?"
"Yes, he was being escorted by two bailiffs. He was shouting about being wronged while they pushed him inside. The bailiffs looked unfriendly, and it seemed that he was involved in a murder case or something."
Shu Yu burst into laughter. "It seems that even though the county magistrate is in trouble, the other officials at the yamen are still carrying out their duties."
She had thought that the situation had changed and that she needed to consider other methods.
Lu Erbai looked at her expression and felt that something was off. He remembered that she had mentioned meeting Boss He earlier and immediately guessed, "Could it be that the arrest of Boss He is related to you? Did you have him arrested?"
"No, Father, you mustn't misunderstand. I only said a few words to him. Boss He must have done something evil to get himself arrested."
She hadn't expected Boss He to be so impatient. It was still daylight, and he had already gone to pay respects to Min's family?
