Chapter 692 Where did the third time come from?
As soon as Lord Cheng spoke, Yao Bo rushed over without saying a word and, together with Lu Erbai, helped Yao Tianqin, who was sitting in the back and seemed to have injured his leg, out of the room.
"Father, Mr. Qi is here," Yao Bo whispered to Yao Tianqin. "He also brought your model."
Yao Tianqin was taken aback, then suddenly looked up at Qi Chan.
The two hadn't seen each other for five years. Qi Chan hadn't changed much, but Yao Tianqin had aged considerably. The heavy labor he had done in the years of exile had made him very thin.
Qi Chan stepped forward and said, "Brother Yao, it's been a long time."
Yao Tianqin's eyes reddened slightly. "Mr... no, sir." Remembering that the other person was also exiled here, he quickly changed his form of address.
Lord Cheng went out first, and the others followed one after another out of the interrogation hall.
He Laoda had acted impulsively and scolded Shu Yu without realizing it. Now that he had realized what had happened, he turned pale with fright and wet his pants.
Cheng Xian, who remained behind, glanced at him sideways, waved his hand, and said to the constables, "Close the door."
The door closed, blocking their view of each other.
Shu Yu glanced at Boss He inside the door one last time, smiled, and left.
They didn't return to the main hall, but went to a nearby side room. Qi Chan sent someone to fetch a doctor, and only then did he begin to speak with Yao Tianqin.
Seeing this, Shu Yu pulled Lu Erbai out.
After closing the door to the side room, she and Lu Erbai found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.
Yao Tianqin wanted to give that model to Qi Chan, as it was very important to the Yao family. So they decided not to join in the fun and wait outside instead.
Although Lord Cheng didn't say anything, he still ordered a maid to bring them some food.
While eating, Shu Yu looked around and then whispered, "Dad, the magistrate of Heichang County must be a corrupt official."
"How so?"
"Look over there, towards the back courtyard residence. The bluestone slabs paving the ground inside and outside the gate are different." People often come and go in the main hall, so the magistrate can't make it too elaborate.
But the backyard is different; the house I live in is much more upscale.
Lu Erbai glanced at the spot she mentioned and nodded in agreement. "So it's true that evil begets evil. Our former magistrate of Jiangyuan County wasn't a good person either. As soon as Lord Xiang arrived, he was arrested. This is the same. Fortunately, the governor is here."
Lu Erbai has only been in Heichang County for a little over a month, so his experience is not yet very deep.
But yesterday he went to make some decorations for the magistrate's brother-in-law's villa. When he entered the villa, he saw that the decorations alone cost a lot of money.
That brother-in-law didn't have a proper job, so it's hard to say where the money came from.
The father and daughter chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Not long after, the door to the side room not far away was opened.
Shu Yu looked at the smiling faces of everyone, especially the Yao father and son, who seemed very excited. It seemed that the discussions had gone very well.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Qi Chan strode over and stood in front of Shu Yu, laughing heartily, "Miss Lu, I must say, you are truly a lucky star. It's happened three times now, and it seems that every time I meet you, you bring me good news."
Shu Yu blinked three times?
Where did the three times come from? One time was at the post station, where she did indirectly warn him and help him escape a disaster.
The second time should be today when she brought the Yao family father and son to him.
Which was the third time?
