Chapter 689 It's Impossible to Use Up Favors
The three of them didn't wait long at the entrance of the county government office. The guard quickly returned and rushed out a moment later, nodding to Shu Yu, "Mr. Qi invites you in."
"Thank you." Shu Yu said thank you and followed the guard into the yamen.
Lu Erbai and Yao Bo exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
The county government office here is similar to that in Jiangyuan County, but it is a bit larger.
Perhaps because something had happened to the county magistrate, the atmosphere inside the county government office was very quiet. The servants and officials inside were all rushing around, keeping their heads down and doing their own things, without even glancing curiously at Shu Yu and the others.
They entered the main hall in silence. After the guard came in and reported, he led them inside.
As soon as Shu Yu entered the room, she saw Mr. Qi nod kindly at her, holding the jade pendant in his hand.
Adult Cheng was sitting on the chair next to him.
That's strange. Wasn't it said that Master Cheng was very busy? How come he still has time to appear here?
Shu Yu greeted Lord Cheng before turning to look at Qi Chan.
The latter smiled and said, "Miss Lu, you've come to see me in such a hurry, is there anything I can do to help you?"
I originally thought that I wouldn't need the jade pendant for a while, and that Miss Lu asking me to repay a favor was something that would happen a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, we met again just one day later.
But Shu Yu shook his head, "No, Mr. Qi, actually I haven't encountered any trouble yet."
Do you expect her to use up her favor right now? Impossible, absolutely impossible!!
Shu Yu smiled and said, "An old friend of Mr. Qi wanted to find you, but he didn't know how. I happened to know him, and he seemed to be in a hurry and had something very important to do, so I took the liberty of using this token. I'm really sorry."
Mr. Qi was stunned. Even Lord Cheng, who had come specifically to listen to what favor Shu Yu needed Qi Chan to repay, looked up in surprise.
The two looked at Lu Erbai and Yao Bo behind them.
The two people standing behind Shu Yu tensed up instantly and couldn't help but swallow.
"An old friend? You mean, my old friend?" Qi Chan looked suspicious. He was certain that he did not know Lu Erbai and Yao Bo.
Shu Yu had already turned to the side, revealing Yao Bo. "Sir, this is Brother Yao. He's the one who's looking for you."
She looked at Yao Bo encouragingly, "Brother Yao, you should talk to Mr. Qi and tell him what you want to see him about. Mr. Qi is a good person, don't worry that he will do anything to harm you."
The crowd present was speechless.
Qi Chan coughed lightly and glanced at Yao Bo, who became even more nervous.
Although his father used to work in the Ministry of Works, he was only a fifth-rank physician. His family was not wealthy, and the number of high-ranking officials and nobles he could come into contact with was actually very limited.
Moreover, now that his father has been exiled here, he has also had his edges worn down over the years. Faced with the aura released by Qi Chan, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly.
"Who are you, and what business do you have with me? I don't remember having any old acquaintances like you."
Yao Bo unconsciously gripped the object in his hand tightly, his nerves instantly tensing up.
Thinking of his father still suffering, he closed his eyes briefly and knelt down without saying a word.
"My lord, sir, I am Yao Bo. My father, Yao Tianqin, served in the Ministry of Works five years ago as a physician in charge of the Ministry of Works. Unfortunately, he was exiled here."
Qi Chan looked up and saw Yao Tianqin, the Assistant Minister of Works.
