Chapter 1544 refers to the same person as Kong Zhiyou.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Xiao felt that the other party was looking for her.
Otherwise, how could it have happened so coincidentally?
She was afraid that the person would recklessly barge into the backyard, which would bring trouble to Dongqing Temple.
Although Dongqing Temple was entrusted by Shu Yu to take care of her, they were unaware of her true identity. The nuns of Dongqing Temple were all outside the secular world, and even with a large number of them, it was still possible for members of the Xiao family to sneak over the wall and enter.
In her anxiety, Xiao decided to go down the mountain first.
After she came down the mountain, she did think about going to find Shu Yu, but Dongqing Temple was quite a distance from Jiangyuan County, and she couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any accidents on the way. After thinking it over, she decided to come to the prefectural city, which was closer to her.
Lady Xiao had heard that the prefect of Dong'an Prefecture was a man of the current emperor and that he was in cahoots with her husband.
If something goes wrong in the city, the prefect can be relied upon for help.
Therefore, the inn she chose to stay at was not far from the government office.
After the room was booked, Xiao asked Lu Tong to go out and check the neighborhood for anything unusual so that she could take precautions.
Little did Lu Tong know that she would run into Shu Yu, who was also out shopping, not far from where she left.
Madam Xiao was extremely uneasy. "Shuyu, do you think the reason we haven't heard from my husband and the others is because the Xiao family knows I'm still alive and something has happened in the capital?"
Shu Yu's fingers tightened slightly; she hadn't expected the Xiao family to be in Dong'an Prefecture at this time.
That's strange. Besides the black market, what else could possibly be worth them coming all the way to Dong'an Prefecture? Do they really know that the Xiao family is still alive?
wrong……
Shu Yu shook her head. "Don't be nervous. You just said that when you saw him in the back mountain, he ran away immediately. If he was really looking for you, even if he couldn't see your face, seeing someone suddenly appear in the back mountain should have made him suspicious. At the very least, he should have gone up to verify if you were the person he was looking for. Why would he run away as soon as he saw you?"
Xiao thought about it and realized it made sense. "But he was indeed secretly looking for someone."
"Perhaps he's not looking for you, but for a man?" That's why he didn't bother to check on the woman when he saw her. "Or maybe looking for someone is just a pretext; he has another purpose?"
After hearing this, Madam Xiao felt a little relieved.
"What do we do now? The other party is indeed from the Xiao family. If I go back to Dongqing Temple now, he might really recognize me."
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "Here's what you'll do. Tell me what the other person looks like, and I'll go to Dongqing Temple. Anyway, it's no longer a secret that I'm a disciple of the head of Dongqing Temple, so it's not strange for me to go up the mountain occasionally."
Madam Xiao nodded and described the man's appearance, "His name is Hao Dingshan, he's in his forties, not particularly tall, and rather thin. He's dressed in shorts, like... he's deliberately dressed as someone's servant. He has a big nose and short eyebrows, he..."
Shu Yu's expression grew increasingly strange as she listened. Big nose, short eyebrows, around forty years old? Why did this description sound so familiar?
"Wait a minute." Shu Yu raised her hand. "Is this Hao Dingshan you're talking about about ear-length tall?"
She pointed to one of the guards beside Madam Xiao and asked.
Ms. Xiao looked in that direction and was taken aback. "Yes, it's that tall. How did you know?"
Shu Yu rubbed her temples. So this Hao Dingshan is the same person Kong Zhiyou was talking about.
Is Hao Dingshan the mysterious person who conspired with Chen Ji to find out Meng Yunzheng's itinerary?
