Chapter 682 Boss He is Arrested
Shu Yu wasn't surprised. After all, carpenter Yao knew Qi Chan and was even going to see him, so he probably came from the capital.
She was thinking too deeply; in fact, she felt there was a high probability that he had once been an official.
Sure enough, Lu Erbai sighed, "He used to work in the Ministry of Works in the capital; he was an official."
Shu Yu thought to herself, "She really guessed right. Did Uncle Yao tell you all this?"
"Oh, not at all. He doesn't like to talk about his past experiences. I only found out from his son. When Brother Yao was in the Ministry of Works, he worked incredibly hard, but he didn't put his hard work into his career; he put it into craftsmanship. I've known him for a while now, and his craftsmanship is truly amazing. He knows a lot, and I've learned a lot from him that I never knew before. I've benefited immensely."
"Unfortunately, he was so focused on his craftsmanship that he didn't care about getting promoted or making money. But while he didn't care, others did. Once, he made a small item, a farm tool, which was very lightweight and useful. But it was stolen by a colleague. The man not only stole it, but also claimed that he had made it himself, thus falsely accusing Brother Yao."
"Brother Yao was not very flexible and was not good with words, so he couldn't win an argument with others. What's more, the other party had powerful backers. What did Brother Yao do? He just threw himself into those wooden tools and didn't get along well with anyone in the Ministry of Works. No one spoke up for him. In the end, he ended up being exiled."
Fortunately, carpenter Yao had some savings, so his wife and children came along with him.
Upon arriving in Heichang County, his excellent skills were appreciated by many wealthy families, and he actually made a considerable amount of money.
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "So what does he plan to do by looking for Mr. Qi this time?"
"From what I heard, it seems he's made something unusual again and wants to give it to Mr. Qi." Lu Erbai wasn't quite sure either. "I went to the county government office with him just now, but we couldn't get in because we were stopped at the door. Brother Yao said that Mr. Qi probably helped him before, and he wants to see him."
"Has Uncle Yao gone home yet?"
Lu Erbai nodded, "Yes, I went back and said I'd think of another way to see Mr. Qi."
Shu Yu unconsciously tightened her grip on the token Qi Chan had given her; seeing Qi Chan would be very convenient for her.
"Oh, right." Lu Erbai suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widened as he whispered, "I saw Boss He just now at the entrance of the county government office."
"Huh?" Shu Yu snapped out of her reverie, raising an eyebrow. "At the county government office?"
"Yes, that Boss He was being escorted by two policemen, shouting that he was innocent as he was pushed inside. The two policemen looked unfriendly, as if they said he was involved in some murder case."
Shu Yu chuckled, "It seems that although the magistrate has run into trouble, the rest of the county government is still doing their jobs."
She thought things had changed and she would have to think of another way.
Looking at her expression, Lu Erbai felt something was off. Remembering that she had mentioned meeting with Boss He earlier, he immediately guessed, "Could it be that Boss He's arrest is related to you? Did you put him in there?"
"Father, you can't wrong me like this. I only said a few words. He Laoda was arrested because he did something bad."
She never expected that Boss He would be so impatient, going to burn incense for the Min family girl before it was even dark.
