The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1095, The Little Prince Xiao’s Tender Around the Finger (7)_2

...

The Ren Family was busy handling the funeral arrangements, while Xiao Moxi and his team were preoccupied with the investigation.

Xiao Moxi examined the token acquired from the Tartars: "Did we find out why Ren Feng created such a token?"

Wu Yutang replied: "Ren Feng oversees a Guard Squad, and this token is said to be their badge. But honestly, I don’t quite believe this explanation."

Xiao Moxi: "Oh?"

Wu Yutang: "It’s too convenient. We’re investigating the token, and then someone just happens to appear before us carrying an identical one. It feels like they’re rushing to reveal its origin to us."

"Even stranger, a servant from the Ren Family carelessly mentioned that the one who assassinated the Second Elder Ren was a Tartar. Supposedly, Ren Feng and his Guard Squad were ambushed by Tartars last month, during which several guards died."

"Do you see? Doesn’t this imply the token was lost during that ambush and subsequently picked up by the Tartars?"

Xiao Moxi tapped lightly on the table: "There’s certainly something suspicious about Ren Feng!"

Wu Yutang: "Exactly. If he has nothing to hide, why go to such lengths to complicate matters?"

Over the next two days, Xiao Moxi’s team discovered that the Tartar trail had gone cold and could uncover nothing unusual about Ren Feng. Meanwhile, the Jinling Guard had made progress on the matter of the Tartars’ resurgence.

"Little Prince, the Tartars have indeed been frequenting the border in recent years, but mostly minor skirmishes. The Tartar Imperial Family suffered a massive blow more than twenty years ago and has yet to recover."

Xiao Moxi listened indifferently to Xiu Kun’s report: "Lord Xiu, I appreciate your efforts. I’ll report all this to His Majesty and the Great Grandson. I have nothing else here; you may carry on with your duties."

Xiu Kun cast a glance at Xiao Moxi’s gentle smile, unsure whether he’d believe his claims. Nervously, he bowed and left.

Watching Xiu Kun’s retreating figure, Xiao Moxi narrowed his eyes: "They’re eager to push us out of Liaodong, aren’t they?"

The more this happens, the more complicated Liaodong’s situation seems.

But with the clues cut off, how should we proceed?

Xiao Moxi thought of Ye Yueying. If this young woman is indeed Ye Jingwu’s daughter, she would certainly attempt another assassination of Ren Feng. Perhaps investigating her might yield new leads!

...

Leng Feng had been gone for three days without returning, causing Ye Yueying to feel uneasy. She knew the location of the silver mine, but her Qinggong skills were insufficient—if she went there, she might become a burden to Leng Feng.

Ye Yueying didn’t want to sit idly by, nor rely on Leng Feng for everything.

After all, Leng Feng was merely an adopted son of the Ye Family; he shouldn’t have to carry the burden of their revenge.

At that moment, Ye Yueying heard commotion on the street. When she walked to the window to check, she saw Ren Feng’s only son leading a group of servants down the road.

Ren Feihong!

Ye Yueying mulled over her thoughts briefly, then left the inn. After asking around, she learned that Ren Feihong was heading to the He Family Shop near the city gates to purchase funeral items.

Armed with this information, Ye Yueying’s gaze sharpened, and she quickly followed.

In the backyard of the He Family Shop, Ye Yueying noticed a cart of goods preparing to leave town. Swiftly, she slipped the black veil she wore during her night raid of the Ren Residence into the pile of goods and left a corner deliberately exposed.

Ren Feihong, a conceited man, had been present alongside Uncle Leng during the attempted assassination of the Second Elder that night. Upon spotting the veil, he would undoubtedly pursue its owner.
