Chapter 1548 I Have My Way
Hao Dingshan had worked for the eldest master of the Xiao family and had been in and out of the city several times. Even in Dong'an Prefecture, which was far from the capital, there might still be people who recognized him.
Therefore, he naturally dared not appear in public openly, and even caused trouble with the Taoist temple to attract attention.
Shu Yu glanced at the person sitting down and then looked at the two people standing behind him.
After looking at the left side, let's look at the right side. Very good, the person on the right has the same characteristics as Xiao Shi described. This person must be Hao Dingshan.
After confirming, Shu Yu got off the stool and walked out of the kitchen.
She hadn't been outside long when a refined-looking middle-aged scholar approached her and nodded to her.
Shu Yu turned a corner and went to talk to him on the side.
This middle-aged scholar was one of the people that Lord Fei had sent to her. While Shu Yu was talking to the nun Qiu, he wandered around the area and inquired about what had happened during the day.
I met with Shuyu today and we exchanged some information.
His understanding was similar to Shu Yu's, but Shu Yu had heard it directly from Qiu Daogu, so his information was more accurate.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged scholar asked her, "Does Lady Lu want to know whether Hao Dingshan's visit to Dongqing Temple is truly to see the abbot, or if he is using this as an excuse for another purpose?"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes."
“That’s easy. Leave this to me. I’ll investigate and give Lu Xiangjun an answer by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”
Shu Yu looked at him in surprise, "How did you investigate?"
The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "I naturally have my own methods."
Shu Yu thought for a moment and then didn't ask any more questions. This man was Lord Fei's right-hand man; in other words, he was the strategist by the prefect's side.
Of the several people that Lord Fei had previously chosen for her, the others were all skilled guards, but this person in front of her had no martial arts skills, but was said to be quick-witted.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, sir."
The middle-aged scholar smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Take care, Mr. Lu Xiang."
Shu Yu went to say goodbye to the Taoist nun Qiu, and then took Ying Xi down the mountain.
She came and went in a hurry, as if she really was just visiting temporarily.
When the two returned to the prefectural city, it was already quite late. The people at the shop had all left, leaving only Ren Yiping sweeping the floor at the entrance.
Just as Shu Yu was about to go up and greet him, a somewhat disheveled-looking boy ran over and stood panting in front of Ren Yiping.
"Excuse me, is this shop hiring a shop assistant?"
Ren Yiping looked up. "Are you here to answer the call?"
The man swallowed hard and nodded vigorously. "Yes, I heard it from someone and came right away. Is it over? Are you closed?"
Ren Yiping looked him up and down and laughed, "Today is over, but we have two days to register. You don't need to rush. Look, your shoes are all worn out from running."
The man lowered his head, looked at his shoes with his toes sticking out, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was too late."
"It's alright, but since you're here, I'll register you first. You can rest tomorrow, and we'll officially start recruiting the day after tomorrow."
Ren Yiping put down the broom and turned to go inside.
Turning his head, he saw Shu Yu and hurried over, "Boss."
Shu Yu waved her hand, "You're busy, I'm going to have dinner with Ying Xi, I'll be back in a bit."
There are rooms here, and Shu Yu and her companion plan to stay here tonight.
Ren Yiping nodded quickly, and after watching the two leave, he turned around and went back to his shop.
