Chapter 794 His superior is none other than Gong Qiu?

Shu Yu's words helped the two of them put aside their worries.

As if remembering something, Yao Tianqin quickly went into the house and soon brought out two large stacks of papers, which he placed directly in front of Lu Erbai.

"These are the blueprints for some items that I've been working on for many years. Some were successful, some need improvement, and some failed, so there are quite a few blueprints. But these are my most treasured things, and now that I'm leaving, I'll leave them all to you. Take a look, and if they're suitable, try making them."

Lu Erbai's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to reach out and touch them. "These are all for me?"

"Of course, you can keep it. If you have any questions, just write to me later. I'll give you my address after I've settled down back in the capital."

Yao Tianqin thought for a moment and then said, "I have been reinstated to my original position as a senior official in the Ministry of Works. Although my official rank is not high in the capital, I still have some power. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, tell me, and I will definitely help you if I can. Although I am powerless to help your second daughter who has been exiled, I will try to find a way."

Shu Yu was taken aback, then touched her nose.

Well, I can only disappoint him for his good intentions.

But having such a powerful backer as his father is still something to be happy about.

In the past, the Lu family would never have dared to imagine knowing officials in the capital; they were terrified even when facing the local officials in the county.

At this moment, Lu Erbai was still unaware of his connections and was embarrassed to refuse Yao Tianqin's kindness. "You've finally been reinstated, and you're probably being watched by many people. You need to be careful and cautious. It's important to gain the favor of your superiors first. We'll live peacefully here, and there won't be any difficulties, so don't worry."

Going to the top?

Upon hearing this, Shu Yu frowned slightly.

Yao Tianqin was reinstated as a senior official in the Ministry of Works, while Meng Yunzheng's scumbag father was a vice minister in the Ministry of Works, making him Yao Tianqin's superior.

There were two vice ministers 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 he was killed two years ago.

As luck would have it, the person who killed him was Miyagaki.

Later, Gongqiu secretly promoted one of his own people to another position as Vice Minister of Works.

Above the Vice Minister is the Minister of Works, but according to Meng Yunzheng, the Minister of Works is old and is actually just a pillar of stability, not really involved in affairs on a daily basis.

Therefore, the entire Ministry of Works, in essence, was Gong Qiu's domain, a place where he held absolute power.

Now Yao Tianqin is his subordinate...

Shu Yu glanced at her father and Yao Tianqin, who were discussing the matter, and sighed inwardly.

However, she didn't want to say much about keeping him away from Gongqiu. As someone exiled here, she shouldn't have such a deep understanding of the officialdom in the capital.

But she won't say it, while Qi Chan can.

Because of what Cheng Dong had done, Mr. Qi was already wary of Gong Qiu.

Yao Tianqin's reinstatement was largely due to his efforts, and in the eyes of outsiders, he and Mr. Qi were on the same side.

Then it would be perfectly reasonable for Qi Chan to remind him.

Mr. Qi went to see the governor and has not returned yet.

Shu Yu was actually hoping that the official delivering the imperial decree would arrive a little later.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

As evening approached, just as Shu Yu was about to return to Zhengdao Village, Yao Bo suddenly ran to the Lu family's house, excitedly telling them that an official from the Ministry of Personnel had arrived in Heichang County.
