There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 1097
[Chapter 1097, Little Prince Xiao’s Soft Fingers (9)]
“In the depths of the canyon is the silver mine.”
Ye Yueying brought Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang to the mouth of the canyon.
Wu Yutang looked at the guards stationed at the entrance of the canyon: “There are too many people. I don’t know how many people there are in the silver mine. I’m afraid we can’t handle it alone.”
Xiao Moxi thought for a while, then looked at Ye Yueying: “This Things have to be considered in the long term, if you show up rashly, you will startle the snake, and if you don’t make it right, Ren Feng will flee.”
Ye Yueying understood this, but she was worried about the cold wind.
Xiao Moxi saw her worry, and comforted her: “Your uncle is good at martial arts, and he won’t be caught so easily. We will find a way to save him as soon as possible, but we have to go back to Haqi City first.”
Although it is cooperation, But at this moment, the decision is in Xiao Moxi’s hands, although Ye Yueying wants to save people immediately, but she also knows that there are only three of them now, and there is no way to save anyone, so she can only go back to the city with them.
Immediately, the three left the canyon.
On the way back, Xiao Moxi held the attitude of giving it a try, and showed Ye Yueying the token confiscated from the barbarians: “Do you know this kind of token?”
Ye Yueying nodded: “Yes, this is Ren Feng It was specially made to be used as a voucher for trading with barbarians, and any barbarians who hold this kind of token can take away thousands of high-yield grain seeds at once.”
Hearing this, Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang grimaced at the same time.
Wu Yutang said angrily: “This bastard! In order to ensure that the soldiers don’t go hungry, every year the imperial court first tightens the distribution of high-yielding grain seeds to the border areas, so that many places get little or no allocation at all. It’s good for him , actually used precious grain seeds to finance the enemy, this is clearly treason and collusion with the enemy!”
Although Xiao Moxi didn’t say anything, she had already decided in her heart to send someone to the barracks to investigate the matter immediately after returning to the city.
When the three of them returned to the city, it was obvious that there were more officers and soldiers at the gate of the city. They could leave the city before, but now they could only enter the city.
Xiao Moxi looked at Ye Yueying: “We rented a small courtyard, you can come with us. People are being arrested everywhere in the city, so it’s safer to follow us. In addition, if we decide to investigate the other side of the canyon, that’s fine. I’ll let you know in time.”
Ye Yueying didn’t immediately agree, she cooperated with Xiao Moxi to save Uncle Leng, and now she has informed the other party of what Ren Feng committed, and when Uncle Leng is rescued, they should part ways.
If she agrees to live with them, these people will definitely investigate her, and her identity will not be concealed by then.
Once her identity is exposed, it would be good if the Ren family was brought down in the end, but if not, then she would be in big trouble, and the Ren family might even take revenge on her grandfather’s family.
Xiao Moxi saw Ye Yueying’s hesitation, and said with a smile: “Brother Ye, since you and I have chosen to cooperate, shouldn’t there be some minimum trust between us?”
Ye Yueying looked at him: “If I don’t trust you, I will I won’t take you to the canyon, and I won’t tell you about Ren Feng stealing and selling grain seeds.”
“In this case, what are you worried about?” Xiao Moxi looked at Ye Yueying seriously.
Xiao Moxi’s gaze was too bright, Ye Yueying didn’t want to meet his gaze, she dodged her eyes and said: “I’m afraid of disturbing you.”
Xiao Moxi laughed: “It’s unnecessary, we often go out on errands, we’re used to it, There’s nothing to disturb.”
Ye Yueying was a little speechless, you don’t mind, I mind, who wants to live in the same yard with a group of men?
But the officers and soldiers in the city searched too tightly, in the end, Ye Yueying had to compromise, and followed Xiao Moxi to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.
The other Jin Lingwei were a little surprised to see Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang bring back an outsider. After looking at them curiously for a while, they went to work on their own.
Seeing that everyone was not paying attention to her, Ye Yueying couldn’t help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Moxi arranged Ye Yueying to live in an empty room, and then gathered all his subordinates to discuss and investigate Ren Feng.
Ren Feng is the commander of the entire province. Although Ye Yueying spoke conclusively about the silver mines in the canyon and the theft and sale of grain seeds, they must find conclusive evidence before arresting them.
In the next two days, Ye Yueying found that besides her, there seemed to be only two women who were cooking in the small courtyard, and no one else, including Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang, was there.
Ye Yueying knew that Xiao Moxi and the others must be busy investigating Ren Feng, and also knew that this was their case handling process, but she still couldn’t help feeling anxious.
She was afraid that if the time dragged on for a long time, the cold wind would be dangerous.
Although the two guards who reported the letter were killed by her, if the silver mine can’t wait for Ren Feng’s order for a long time, they will definitely send someone into the city to inform Ren Feng. If Ren Feng really sends a master there, Uncle Leng It’s dangerous.
At this moment, Ye Yueying was enveloped by a sense of powerlessness, just like when she learned that her family had passed away, she was also unable to do anything.
In the middle of the night, when Xiao Moxi came back from outside, she saw Ye Yueying sitting on the roof watching the moon, her whole body was shrouded in a thin halo of loneliness.
Just when Ye Yueying was thinking that if Xiao Moxi and the others didn’t decide, she would go deep into the canyon alone, the tempting smell of meat floated into her nose.
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Moxi sitting beside her with a smile.
“I just saw that there was still a charcoal fire in the kitchen, so I grilled some barbecue, try it quickly.” After speaking, Xiao Moxi picked up a skewer of barbecue and ate it.
Seeing Ye Yueying not moving, he smiled and handed her a string: “You know my craftsmanship. If you miss this village, you won’t have this shop. Usually my brothers can’t eat it if they want to. You are lucky.”
Ye Yueying glanced at him and took the skewers.
Xiao Moxi saw her frowning, and knew the worry in her heart, and said: “Don’t worry, your uncle is safe for the time being. These days Ren Feng is busy dealing with the funeral of his brother and son, and he has to comfort his family, so he has no energy Go take care of the affairs of the silver mine.”
Ye Yueying looked at him: “How did your investigation go?”
Xiao Moxi’s eyes flickered with sternness, the results they found were more serious than what Ye Yueying said, but it’s hard to tell the outside world, she just said: “Give us some more time.”
“Ren Feng is from Liaodong after all. Commander Du , in addition to his own power, there are also Hu people who are watching, some things must be carefully considered, otherwise it will cause turmoil in Liaodong.”
Ye Yueying also knew that Ren Feng had a lot to do with it, so she didn’t say anything more.
Xiao Moxi handed Ye Yueying another skewer of barbecued meat: “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
Ye Yueying suddenly frowned and looked at Xiao Moxi: “Are you so kind to everyone?” Come back at night He also came to comfort her and give her food.
Xiao Moxi was stunned for a moment, then she boasted with a smile: “I have two younger siblings who are particularly noisy in my family. I have developed the habit of taking care of others since I was a child.”
Ye Yueying: “Really, you are so good at taking care of others , that should be very popular with girls, but it will be very tiring to be your wife.”
Uh…
is this saying that he likes to be merciful?
Xiao Moxi was stunned, no, when did he have a wife?
“No, why is it so tiring to be my wife? Am I the kind of person who has no sense of boundaries?”
Ye Yueying gave him a look of ‘you are’, and then jumped off the roof.
Knowing that she is a girl, she still doesn’t know how to avoid suspicion and approach her in various ways. It is clear that she is a wanderer!
