"So, did you take the initiative to tell the Shi family about the treasure place?" Ye Tian asked.
He guessed that it was impossible for the Shi family to know about this matter without reason. It was most likely that Ye Yifeng volunteered to tell the matter in order to improve his status in the Shi family.
Ye Yifeng did not deny it, indicating that it was indeed him who said this.
Although he had taken refuge in the Shi family at that time, after the destruction of the Ye family, he had lost his usefulness. In addition, the head of the Shi family was suspicious and always suspected that he would betray him, so he wanted to find a reason to get rid of him.
In order to survive, Ye Yifeng had no choice but to tell the truth about the treasure place in order to win the favor of the Shi family and make them believe that he had no intention of betrayal.
"So, it was your idea for the Shi family to keep Ye Yan and the others in captivity?" Ye Tian's eyes were indifferent and emotionless.
"That's right. The reason why the Shi family didn't kill Ye Yan and the others at first was entirely because they were worried that grandpa would return to Jiangcheng one day, and then they could take Ye Yan and the others as hostages. Later, when they learned about the treasure place, Shi
My family entrusted me to raise them and then use inbreeding to see if I can produce a pure direct bloodline." Ye Yifeng said truthfully.
After hearing these words, Ji Xueyue and others looked disgusted.
This is too inhumane.
They actually want to inbreed the children of the Ye family. Don’t they know the consequences of doing so?
Babies born through inbreeding are very likely to be born with defects and are unlikely to live long.
But in order to open up the Ye family's treasure trove, the Shi family did not hesitate to do such a cruel thing.
Ye Tian's heart was burning with anger, and he wanted to kill the Shi family on the spot.
Not only were their compatriots arbitrarily slaughtered, they were even kept in captivity like animals and inbred to achieve their goals.
However, Ye Tian noticed something and asked: "Earlier, you said that the Shi family is worried that grandpa will return to Jiangcheng one day. What do you mean? Is it possible that they know the truth about grandpa's disappearance?"
"I don't know, but judging from the Shi family's vigilance, they should know it, because in these years, they have been recruiting troops and gathering martial arts masters from all walks of life. They seem to be preventing something."
Ye Yifeng told everything he knew and said: "Five years ago, when grandpa disappeared, they knew the news immediately, so I don't think it's surprising that they must know some inside information.
"
"Last question, where is the treasure cache and what is in it?"
"The treasure location was recorded on a worn piece of leather, and is now in the hands of the Shi family. As for what treasures are inside, I don't know, but I once heard the elders in the family say that there may be something in the treasure map.
News about your parents."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes moved and he was very shocked.
Although he is the legitimate son of the Ye family, he has no memory of his parents from the time he can remember.
This has always been a doubt in Ye Tian's heart.
When he was a child, he often asked his grandfather about his parents, but his grandfather said that his parents had left the Ye family temporarily and would take a long time to come back.
Ye Tian also tried to find out the whereabouts of his parents from his grandfather, but his grandfather kept silent and had a look of fear in his eyes.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Tian no longer asks about the news about his parents, but plans to wait until he grows up and is fully capable before asking questions.
"Is this true? Is there really any news about my parents in the treasure house?"
"I'm not sure either. After all, I heard this information from the elders and I haven't verified it myself."
After Ye Yifeng finished saying this, he carefully asked: "Since I have said everything that needs to be said, can you let me live as promised?"
"Brother Ye Tian, you can't let him go. Ye Yifeng is cunning and insidious. Maybe if you let him go, he will come back to bite you soon!" Yu Xin said.
She knew very well who Ye Yifeng was and knew that if such a cunning villain was let go, he would definitely become a trouble in the future.
"I also think he should not be let go. What he has done cannot be described as evil. Think of the fellow Ye family members who were murdered five years ago. They are crying under the Nine Springs." Ji Xueyue agreed.
.
These words also made Ye Yifeng's face twitch, and he wished he could stab these two stinky cousins to death.
But in front of Ye Tian, he did not dare to do this, because as long as he had this idea, Ye Tian would have an excuse to send himself to see King Yama.
But what is surprising is that Ye Tian actually said to the two women: "I understand your suggestions, but this is a matter of the Ye family and does not require outsiders' intervention."
Ji Xueyue and Yu Xin didn't say anything, they just nodded.
Ye Yifeng was ecstatic, thinking, isn't this the time to let him go?
However.
Just when Ye Yifeng was happy and thought he could leave safely, he heard Ye Tian say: "But I don't think I should let you go like this."
"Why? Didn't I agree before that as long as I tell you about the treasure place, you will let me go?"
"Did you misunderstand something? I said before that I was considering letting you live, but I didn't say that I would definitely let you go." Ye Tian said lightly.
Ye Yifeng was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Ye Tian would actually play this kind of word game for himself.
"Ye Tian! Don't go too far. I have told you all the information you want to know. If you still don't let me go, then you are being dishonest and heartless. Not to mention that we are still in the ancestral home.
In front of the house, our ancestors are watching!"
"I think my ancestor would rather see me bring you to him and have you explain to him what you have done."
"No! You can't do this. I really know that I was wrong. I am willing to change my ways and be a new person. I am even more willing to make up for the mistakes I made before. I just ask you to give me a chance!" Ye Yifeng knelt on the ground.
Kowtow, hoping that Ye Tian can let him go.
But the way he begged for mercy made Ji Xueyue and Yu Xin want to laugh. They thought it was too hypocritical.
However.
What they didn't expect was that Ye Tian actually agreed!
"Okay, then I'll give you a chance."
"real?!"
Ye Yifeng looked ecstatic and couldn't believe what he heard.
But before he could confirm again, Ye Tian caught him and walked into the Ye family mansion.
soon.
Everyone came to a dilapidated hut with spider webs everywhere.
This is the mourning hall of the Ye family, where the memorial tablets of many ancestors of the Ye family are placed.
