Chapter 797: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 797: Hou shi's Opportunity
Qi Chan smiled and said, "That's considered fast."
As he expected, the Emperor felt guilty about the wrongful judgment of Yao Tianqin's case five years ago, which led to his exile. That's why he promptly reinstated him without hesitation. Additionally, Yao Tianqin didn't have many enemies or deep grudges, so there wasn't much opposition in the court after he achieved merit. Thus, the decision was made quickly. After confirming the practical value of the rotary plow, the Emperor issued the decree and sent it over.
As for Shu Yu's case, it shouldn't take too long, and she didn't pose much of a threat to the people in the court.
But just to be safe, Qi Chan advised her to be patient.
Shu Yu was not in a hurry and remained calm. "Actually, I haven't suffered much here. It's been you who has been concerned about my affairs."
"What are you saying? Do you think that the heat packs will only benefit you? By handing them to me, you have also helped me. Not to mention the heat packs, your contribution played a part in Yao Tianqin being reinstated."
Shu Yu laughed, "Master Qi, you sound just like Uncle Yao. That day, Uncle Yao said to my father that we helped him, and now that his days are getting better, he will take care of us. My father is afraid that Uncle Yao will try everything to help me avoid punishment once he returns. He said that Uncle Yao has finally been reinstated, and if he displeases the Emperor again because of my matter, it would all be in vain. My father advised him not to rush and focus on doing his job well. It's important to get along well with his superiors and colleagues. He can't bury himself in work alone."
While listening, Qi Chan nodded. He hadn't expected that Lu Erbai was such a perceptive person.
But when Shu Yu mentioned "superiors," his hand suddenly paused.
Yao Tianqin's superior was none other than Gong Qiu, right?
Thinking that Gong Qiu had arranged for Cheng Dong to be with the Governor for many years and that there was also a spy lurking by the Cheng Daren's side, he had a feeling that Gong Qiu might be planning something big.
Yao Tianqin had just returned, and if he got involved, he would have to come back to this place.
He had to go back and discuss this matter with Yao Tianqin.
Shu Yu naturally noticed the momentary pause from Qi Chan, so she lowered her eyes and stopped saying more.
Instead, she asked about the time when Yao Tianqin would leave. "Uncle Yao said that the official from the Ministry of Justice who came to deliver the decree has been in Heichang County all this time. He wanted to meet you before leaving. Once he meets you, he plans to return to the capital with Uncle Yao. Have you met that official?"
Qi Chan shook his head. "No, I heard from the County Magistrate that he went to the post station yesterday. It's quite a coincidence. When he first arrived in the county, he startled a horse and got injured. Later, after arriving at the post station, his wound reopened. It was a woman at the post station who gave him hemostatic medicine. That medicine was better than the one prescribed by the doctor. Before leaving, that official went back to the post station to thank her. From the description, it seems that woman was Hou Shi."
Shu Yu opened her mouth in surprise. Hou Shi?
Speaking of which, it was she who gave Hou Shi the medicine.
She had taken some common pills and powders from Zhao Xi and sent them over. Zhao Xi's medicine was more effective than those prescribed by ordinary doctors.
Hou Shi helped the official, and he specifically went back to visit her. It seemed that Hou Shi's life at the post station would be better from now on.
