Outside the restaurant, Ye Zhen saw Ge Kuan looking for her everywhere. She glanced at Mo Rongzhan, deliberately kept a distance from him, and called out to him.
Ge Kuan was anxious to find Ye Chunnan and tell him that his sister was missing. In a blink of an eye, he saw Ye Zhen standing not far away and calling him.
"Young … young master, where have you been?" Ge Kuan asked anxiously.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "There were too many people just now. I went to see the lantern market and came back. Where is my brother?"
"The general is drinking over there. Young master, where else do you want to go?" Ge Kuan decided to keep an eye on her.
"I'm tired. I don't want to go anywhere. I'm worried that my brother will be in trouble. You go and keep an eye on him. Don't let him get drunk." Ye Zhen said to Ge Kuan.
In fact, Ge Kuan was also worried about Ye Chunnan. When he heard Ye Zhen's words, he was a little moved. However, he still remembered Ye Chunnan's instructions. "Young master, let me take you to the wing room first."
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile.
"It's upstairs. The dragon and lion dance will begin soon. You will see it when you go up." Ge Kuan said.
Ye Zhen told him, "When you go to your brother's side, watch him and don't drink too much. That Liu Hebin is obviously up to no good."
Ge Kuan nodded. "Yes, I know. I will certainly not let the general suffer."
In the wing room, Ye Zhen said that she was very tired and would rest here while waiting for her brother. Then, she sent Ge Kuan away.
Not long after, Mo Rongzhan opened the door of the wing room and came in.
"How did you know that my brother had booked a wing room in this restaurant? You didn't keep an eye on him all the time, did you? " Ye Zhen saw Mo Rongzhan's confidence that he was not worried about going to the wrong room and knew that he must have known in advance.
Mo Rongzhan hugged her and sat her on his lap. "It's just a coincidence that I live in the opposite inn."
Ye Zhen didn't believe his coincidence. "You can tell me now, why did you come to the capital?"
He didn't intend to hide it from her. "Yao Yao, Ye Yaoyao has recovered her memory."
"What?" Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. "Who cured her?" "Who cured her?"
Mo Rongzhan shook his head. "She suddenly recovered her memory.
"What happens after you recover your memory?" Ye Rou's eyes were a little cold. With her current medical skills, she didn't know what kind of illness could cause amnesia and then inexplicably restore it. Ye Yaoyao … was becoming more and more incomprehensible to her.
"She is not the real Ye Yaoyao. Her real name is Ye Yao 'er. She is the daughter of Ye Rongquan, the former political envoy of Jiangnan." Mo Rongzhan told Ye Zhen about Ye Yaoyao's life experience and explained Ye Rongquan's injustice.
Ye Zhen had guessed many identities of Ye Yaoyao, but she did not expect it to be like this.
"So, it was really Lu Shide who found her in the Wilderness." Ye Zhen asked in surprise. Ye Yaoyao did not exist to replace her identity, she just happened to be used by Lu Lingzhi.
Mo Rongzhan said, "If I'm not wrong, Lu Shide brought Ye Yaoyao from the Wilderness for the thing in her hand."
"What is it?" Ye Zhen asked.
"A book with Ye Rongquan's wronged record. In addition to colluding with officials and merchants, he also collaborated with pirates to smuggle the salt tax of Jiangnan to other places. Jiangnan was the most prosperous place in the Jin Kingdom, but the salt tax had not been transported to the capital for many years. The former emperor sent people to investigate this matter many times, but they were all secretly stopped by … Ye Yisong. At that time, Lin Zhanhong, the largest merchant in Jiangnan, colluded with Ye Yisong and pretended to be robbed by pirates …" Mo Rongzhan whispered the ins and outs to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was shocked to hear this. Pirates? Silver? How did she think of Cao Lei's treasure map?
"Then what are you going to investigate in the capital now?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Lin Zhanhong did not die that year, but changed his name and hid in Dongqing. The pirate who colluded with Ye Yisong was Cao Lei." Mo Rongzhan whispered, "Bai Ziqi and Ye Yisong originally had a deep hatred. He became a pirate because of Ye Yisong, so there must be a reason why he killed Cao Lei. I came to King's City this time, in addition to finding out who Lin Zhanhong has changed his name, I also want to find Cao Lei's son in King's City."
Cao Lei's son! Ye Zhen's eyes widened. What a coincidence! These two things are actually linked together!
Mo Rongzhan knew her best. As soon as he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. "Do you know Cao Lei's son?"
"You mean, the silver that Cao Lei hid is the tax money of the past?" Ye Zhen asked.
"I'm afraid there is also the silver that Ye Yisong has been embezzling for many years." Mo Rongzhan said faintly.
Ye Zhen still has a lot of doubts. The reason why pirates become pirates is because they are forced to live a life of helplessness and greed. What kind of person does Cao Lei belong to? He guarded such a large treasure house for so many years. Why hasn't he touched it? If he went to take the silver, he must have revealed the location of the treasure house. "Ah Zhan, don't you think it's strange? Cao Lei is a pirate. If a pirate is moral, he can't become a pirate. Why would he guard the silver for my uncle for so many years? "
"So even if Cao Lei knows where the silver is hidden, he can't get it." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Then who can get the silver?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
Mo Rongzhan looked at her meaningfully.
Ye Zhen immediately understood what his eyes meant. "You think it's my uncle, but he is dead."
"Ye Chunming is still alive." Mo Rongzhan said.
"Then … how did Bai Ziqi kill Cao Lei? Did he know that Cao Lei's silver is related to my uncle? "Ye Zhen frowned.
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "Ye Yisong framed Bai Ziqi for cheating in the imperial examination, which angered Bai Ziqi's mother to death. Bai Ziqi is a filial son. He was forced to become a pirate. As for how he knew that Cao Lei colluded with your uncle, only he knows."
"You … do you know who Cao Lei's son is?" Ye Zhen whispered.
"Cao Yu." Mo Rongzhan said the name accurately.
Ye Zhen tightened her lips. "How did you know?"
"What do you think I've been doing these days?" Mo Rongzhan said, amused, and kissed her on the cheek. "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"Have you found out who Lin Zhanhong is?" Ye Zhen asked.
Mo Rongzhan frowned. "Not yet."
Ye Zhen glanced at him, leaned on his shoulder and said, "Cao Lei's treasure map is with me."
"What?" Mo Rongzhan stared at her sharply. "Li Yuniang gave you the treasure map?"
"Otherwise, Bai Ziqi would have found the place long ago." Ye Zhen said, "I'm just confused about one thing."
"What is it?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen thought for a moment before telling Mo Rongzhan her doubts. "Shen Yuexuan seems to be very interested in the treasure map."
