Chapter 211 The Ye Clan Leaves Wealth
Qi Wushuang found the booklet of the Ye family's confiscation in a dusty corner of the Ministry of Revenue's archives. After reading it, Qi Wushuang said:
"The Ye family has occupied Chunyu Mansion for a hundred years, so they really shouldn't have this much money."
“Then there are only two possibilities:
First, the officials who confiscated the Ye family's property embezzled money, and second, the Ye family had already transferred the money."
Qi Wushuang looked again at the official who was in charge of the confiscation.
"This man is a close confidant of the Emperor and a member of the Qi clan. His descendants now live in Qamdo, and there's no news of his family living an extravagant life.
So even if there is corruption, it is limited.”
"Then there is only one possibility left: the Ye family has already transferred their money."
Ye Wuwei seemed to be thinking:
"When the Ye family suffered, Ye Yangzong was still pregnant. General Ye should have entrusted the Ye family's wealth to Ye Hongxia instead of that concubine.
But Ye Hongxia never told me about the Ye family’s money.”
Qi Wushuang took Ye Wuwei's hand and walked out:
"Ye Hongxia is an upright person. Since she has chosen to recognize Ye Yangzong as her young master, it is normal for her not to tell you even if you are her son."
Ye Wuwei quite agreed: "This is consistent with her style of doing things."
Qi Wushuang turned his head to look at Ye Wuwei: "Now that you have recovered your memory, what is your attitude towards her?"
"I have no idea.
Although he was a beggar, he had lived a happy life except for the resentment he felt when Ye Yangzong killed him. His greatest unhappiness came from not having enough to eat.
He never remembered Ye Hongxia until his death, so he had no resentment towards her.
He even thought that his parents had died in a famine like other beggars.
Although Ye Hongxia treated him wrongly, she was very good to me. I have no right to hate Ye Hongxia on his behalf.
But I can't accept Ye Hongxia's kindness again.
I plan to tell Ye Hongxia the truth next time I see her."
The two returned to the bedroom while talking.
Qi Wushuang called Qi Wu over and said, "Send someone to monitor Ye Yangzong. If he makes any unusual movements, tell me."
Ye Wuwei took over the conversation:
"Didn't we establish the Qi'an Division? Leave the task of monitoring Ye Yangzong to me, but I don't have anyone available right now."
Qi Wushuang thought for a moment:
"Qi Wu once trained a scout team, and some of them are now in the Imperial Guard. Why don't we give them all to you?"
“That’s perfect.
Then I will select some people from the Imperial Guards, and the Qi'an tribe will be established."
"What about the address?"
Ye Wuwei thought for a moment:
"The people living in the east of the city are all from aristocratic families. I will choose a place in the east of the city as the headquarters of the Qi'an tribe."
Speaking of this, Ye Wuwei became interested:
"I'm free now anyway, so I'll go look for a place."

After Ye Hongxia left, Ye Yangzong began to carefully examine the treasure map.
There was no sign that the treasure map had been opened, and the seal on the treasure map also matched.
Ye Yangzong opened the treasure map, which showed that the treasure was located in the "Ghost Forest" next to Chunyu Mansion.
The treasure map shows the detailed treasure location and marks it.
Ye Yangzong carefully put away the treasure map and called Li Dashan in.
Li Dashan was from Chunyu Prefecture and was once a centurion under General Ye. He retired early after being injured. General Ye was indebted to him, so Ye Hongxia found him to protect Ye Yangzong.
Ye Yangzong asked Li Dashan: "Do you know the Ghost Forest?"
"Why did the young master suddenly ask about the Ghost Forest?"
"I'm just asking."
"Ghost Forest is a nickname used by the common people. It actually refers to a large, dense forest. Few people who enter the dense forest can survive, so the common people call it the Ghost Forest.
I've never been to a dense forest, but I've heard there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous creatures there."
"Is it true that few people who enter the Ghost Forest can survive?"
"it is true."
Ye Yangzong asked Li Dashan to step aside and went into deep thought alone.
Since the Ye family hid their treasures in the Ghost Forest, there must be a way to find them. Otherwise, how did they get those treasures into the Ghost Forest?
But who should I take with me to get the treasure?
If Ye Hongxia didn't have a son, it would be safest to let Ye Hongxia go and get the treasure. But why didn't her son die?
I saw him die with my own eyes before I left, so why is he still alive now?
And living so well?
Ye Yangzong had heard before that the new emperor had a loyal minister named Ye Wuwei, who was very capable and could create glass and iron weapons. He did not think that he was Ye Hongxia's son, but just thought that they had the same name and surname.
But who knew: they were actually the same person!
Ye Wuwei is just a beggar, when did he become so powerful?
If Ye Yangzong had not seen Ye Wuwei with his own eyes today, he would not have believed that the two were the same person.
Judging from Ye Hongxia's appearance, she had already recognized Ye Wuwei. So, did Ye Wuwei tell Ye Hongxia that he was the one who killed him?
Also, does Ye Wuwei know that the Ye family left behind wealth?
If he knew, had he asked Ye Hongxia? Would Ye Hongxia tell him?
For a moment, all kinds of speculations swirled in Ye Yangzong's mind.
Ye Yangzong felt that he could no longer stay in Chamdo.
Ye Yangzong called Li Dashan back in and said, "Pack your belongings and leave Qamdo immediately."
"Where?"
"Let's get out of Chamdo first."
Ye Yangzong already had a goal in mind, but at the moment he didn't trust anyone, so he didn't say it out loud.
