Chapter 794: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 794: Isn't His Superior Gong Qiu?
Shu Yu's words helped dispel their worries.
Yao Tianqin hurried into the house as if he had remembered something, and soon returned with two large stacks of papers, which he directly placed in front of Lu Erbai.
"These are the blueprints of some objects I have been working on for many years. Some have been successful, some need improvement, and some have failed. So there are quite a few blueprints. But these are my most precious possessions, and now that I'm leaving, I'll leave them all to you. Take a look and try making them if they're suitable."
Lu Erbai eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to reach out and touch them. "Are these all for me?"
"Of course, you can take them. If there's anything you don't understand, send me a letter in the future. When I settle down in the capital, I'll give you my address."
After thinking for a moment, Yao Tianqin added, "As a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, although it's not a high position in the capital, it still carries some authority. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, let me know. If I can help you, I definitely will. Although I am currently powerless to do anything about the exile of your second daughter, I will try to find a solution."
Shu Yu was momentarily stunned, then touched her nose.
Well, she could only disappoint him with this kindness.
But it was still something to be happy about to have such a powerful backer like her father had.
The old Lu family would never have dared to imagine knowing an official from the capital. Even facing the officials in the county, they would be terrified.
At this moment, Lu Erbai hadn't yet realized the connections he had. He hesitantly declined Yao Tianqin's goodwill, "You have just been reinstated to your former position, and you may be under close scrutiny. You should be careful and prioritize gaining the favor of your superior. We can live peacefully here without any difficulties. Don't worry about us."
Superior?
When Shu Yu heard this, her eyebrows furrowed.
Yao Tianqin had been reinstated as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Works, and Meng Yunzheng's despicable father was a Shilang of the Ministry of Works. Wasn't that Yao Tianqin's superior?
There were two Shilangs in the Ministry of Works, one of them was Gong Qiu, and the other was the one who framed Yao Tianqin five years ago but was killed two years ago.
What a coincidence that the person who killed him was Gong Qiu.
Later, Gong Qiu secretly promoted one of his own people and became another Shilang of the Ministry of Works.
And above the Shilangs, there was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works. According to Meng Yunzheng, the Shangshu was old and rarely handled matters.
In short, the entire Ministry of Works was under Gong Qiu's control. It was his word that mattered.
And now Yao Tianqin became his subordinate...
Shu Yu looked at her father and Yao Tianqin, who were still in discussion, and sighed softly in her heart.
But she couldn't say anything about keeping him away from Gong Qiu. As someone exiled here, she shouldn't have such an understanding of the officialdom in the capital.
But she didn't need to say it. Master Qi could say it.
Because of what he understood, Master Qi had become wary of Gong Qiu.
Yao Tianqin's reinstatement was largely thanks to him, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were now on the same side.
So it made sense for Master Qi to remind him.
However, Master Qi hadn't returned from his meeting with the Prefect yet.
Shu Yu was hoping that the official delivering the decree would arrive a bit later.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.
In the evening, just as Shu Yu was about to return to the Zhengdao Village, Yao Bo suddenly ran to the Lu family, excitedly telling them that the official from the Ministry of Justice delivering the decree had arrived in Heichang County.
