Chapter 690 Old Friend
Yao Bo didn't know if Qi Chan still remembered his father. He lowered his head and finished what he needed to say in one breath.
"My father once said that before he was exiled, Mr. Qi once helped my father to plead for mercy and speak, so that my father would not have his head taken away. Our whole family is very grateful to Mr. Qi for his great kindness. Yesterday, my father heard that Mr. Qi was here. Heichang County, I wanted to come to see you, sir, and I have something I want to show you."
Qi Chan nodded slightly. He did speak to Yao Tianqin back then.
Yao Tianqin sued the minister of the Ministry of Industry, saying that he was using farm tools he had developed, but the man framed him for his spewing remarks.
But Yao Tianqin couldn't produce any evidence. Instead, the Minister of Industry held a stack of drawings in his hand, and many colleagues from the Ministry of Industry helped him speak. Yao Tianqin failed to sue, but ended up in jail.
Qi Chan had heard that the Minister of Industry was not a good person, so he tended to believe Yao Tianqin. It's just that he went to see Yao Tianqin, who couldn't produce evidence to overturn the case, and the Minister of Industry even wanted his life.
In the end, Qi Chan could only save him from losing his life and was exiled to the southwest.
Three years later, the Minister of Works made a mistake and was beheaded. But regarding Yao Tianqin, he really had no sense of existence. The emperor could not remember him, and the same was true for others.
Yao Tianqin stayed in the southwest and never sent a letter to the capital or asked anyone to help him with activities.
Qi Chan was busy with his affairs, so naturally he did not remember this doctor from the Ministry of Industry, whom he had only met once.
Unexpectedly, I would meet Yao Tianqin’s son today.
Qi Chan exhaled and asked Yao Bo to stand up, "If your father wants to see me, why didn't he come?"
Yao Bo smiled bitterly, "He was originally here in the morning, but because he lingered in front of the county government office for a long time, he was arrested as a suspicious person. Actually... It's not just my father. The police officers of the government office arrested many people in the past two days. .”
"Is there such a thing?" Master Cheng suddenly raised his eyes.
He almost wanted to leave. Since he was Qi Chan's old friend, he didn't intend to disturb their reunion. He didn't expect to hear such a thing from Yao Bo.
Yao Bo nodded and told all the news he knew.
Master Cheng's face turned ugly. He stood up suddenly and said, "Let's go out and have a look. I want to see who is so eager to make meritorious deeds."
He walked out of the lobby with a sullen face. Seeing this, Shu Yu hurriedly followed.
Master Cheng asked the guards to find out where those people were. When he learned that they were in the interrogation hall, he rushed there immediately.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard chaotic sounds coming from inside, including people shouting injustice and police officers yelling at everyone to be quiet.
Just by standing at the door, adults can know what is going on inside.
His expression became increasingly ugly, and the guard behind him pushed open the door of the interrogation hall.
When the people inside heard the noise, they turned around and shouted loudly, "Who is it? I didn't know this was... big, big, sir."
In the middle of shouting, the policeman's face changed drastically and he ran over, "Sir Cheng, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't know what good things you were doing and how many people you had wronged."
"Sir, my lord, subordinate..."
"Get out." Master Cheng scowled, kicked him hard, and strode in.
The interrogation hall was dimly lit. Shu Yu, who was standing at the back, took a moment to adapt and closed his eyes slightly before he could clearly see the situation in front of him.
