Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Darkness is the best tool to cover up all evil.

Jiang Yin didn't want to care about the fighting sounds in the distance. She just wanted to make sure her people were safe.

Therefore, after watching Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er leave, she also took Xiao Luo and quickly rushed to the inn.

However, sometimes trouble will not come to you just because you don't look for trouble.

As soon as she crossed an alley, she encountered two people chasing and fighting with each other from the inn.

The two men were confronting each other on the wall, and Jiang Yin saw them as soon as he turned the corner.

Seeing that both of them turned their heads and looked at her unkindly, Jiang Yin took a deep breath and said awkwardly, "Just passing by, just passing by, both of you continue."

After she said that, she turned around and was about to run. She didn't want to get involved in the fight.

These two men, one wearing a nightgown with his face covered and the other wearing a guard's uniform, were obviously the Inspector's men and the assassin.

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

"If you want to leave, it's not that easy." The man in black raised his hand, picked up the hidden weapon and threw it behind Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly, and relying on his intuition, he quickly pulled Xiao Luo into the corner.

With a "bang", the hidden weapon fell to the ground, without hurting Jiang Yin and Xiao Luo at all.

At this moment, Jiang Yin didn't have time to curse. He just wanted to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible. Saving his life was the most important thing.

However, the man in black did not want to let her go and wanted to use her to divert the pursuers.

The guard was not someone to be trifled with, and he kept chasing the man in black, not to protect Jiang Yin, but to catch him.

Jiang Yin believed that the guard had a master like the Inspector General and would not care about her safety.

Xiao Luo looked back as she ran and said worriedly, "Sir, they are still following us."

The two men were also bored and instead of fighting properly, they just kept chasing them.

Jiang Yin's eyes were dark and unclear, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Run towards the outside of the city!"

After saying that, she pulled Xiao Luo and decisively changed direction.

This was still in the city, with many people around and it was difficult for her to let the secret guards take action.

If she runs towards the city gate and reaches a remote place, she can ask the secret guards to come out and help her escape.

Fortunately, there are only two people, and her secret guards can handle it.

However, after she changed direction, the two men started fighting again and did not follow her in time.

It seems that he doesn't intend to follow her, a stranger, anymore.

Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, dragged Xiao Luo and ran through several streets before finally returning to the inn.

In the inn, Jiang Si Niang was still sitting in her room waiting for her to come back.

Seeing them coming back breathlessly, Jiang Si Niang quickly poured tea for them and then asked in a low voice, "What's going on over there?"

Jiang Yin drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and waved his hand, saying, "Don't mention it. When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected."

She briefly recounted what had just happened, and then asked, "Where are Brother Heng and Brother Yan? Are they back?"

Hopefully they didn't encounter this.

"They are back. I asked them to go back and clean up and treat their wounds." Jiang Si Niang frowned slightly and said, "You should change your clothes too. If someone searches us later, it might be troublesome."

Tonight was really chaotic, and she was worried that what happened just now would have an impact on Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin felt relieved when he heard that Wang Heng and the other man were fine.

She nodded and said, "Fourth Lady is right. Let's change into women's clothes first. It's late at night, and we should go to bed."

Si Niang, go to bed too. Tell Hengdi and the others to rest first. As for other matters, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

She paused and continued, "By the way, let them be more careful and don't let anything slip."

They were both wearing night clothes and could easily be mistaken for being in the same group as the assassins.

Plus he was injured, there was really no way he could defend himself.

It would be difficult to explain if that damn inspector suddenly became interested and came to search for the assassin.

Jiang Si Niang nodded, went out to tell Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er about the matter, and then returned to her room to rest.

Jiang Yin also changed his clothes as quickly as possible, turned off the lights and rested.

As for the clothes that had been taken off, they were stuffed into the bottom of the box to cover them up first.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a commotion downstairs, saying that someone was catching an assassin.

Jiang Yin could still hear the shopkeeper constantly saying nice things, hoping that they would not disturb his guests.

However, the police are not so easy to send away, and they still have to investigate.

Jiang Yin crawled out of bed and had just put on her clothes when there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Come out, those inside, come out."

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little speechless. This is the way to investigate, and he will definitely offend everyone.

She sighed softly and motioned for Xiao Luo to open the door.

"female?"

The man in the lead was an official from the Huizhou government office, and he was easier to talk to than the guards brought by the Inspector.

He just waved his hand and said, "Okay, next one."

He couldn't do such a thing as breaking into a woman's bedroom in the middle of the night.

What's more, he had already noticed that there was another wealthy or noble woman sitting inside, and he couldn't afford to offend her easily.

After everyone left in a rush, Xiao Luo was a little confused and quickly closed the door.

She passed the test without even saying a word, which was totally unexpected.

Jiang Yin tilted his head and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep first."

But having said that, she was still a little worried about Wang Heng and the others.

Fortunately, these people investigated very quickly and left the inn after a while, and no one heard that they arrested anyone.

I don’t know if it was because the officials didn’t want to make too much trouble or because the innkeeper gave enough money.

In short, as long as nothing happens, no matter what the reason is.

She thought the night would pass like this, but unexpectedly, someone moved her window in the middle of the night.

Hearing the noise from the window, Jiang Yin sat up suddenly, picked up the vase and quietly walked to the window.

"squeak~"

There was a slight noise from the window, and then a sound like someone falling was heard.

Jiang Yin heaved a sigh of relief, but soon she became worried again.

After a while, there was another knock on the window, this time it was a polite knock like knocking on a door.

"It's me, Miss Jiang."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly put down the vase and went to open the window.

She didn't realize what was happening until Li Ji successfully climbed through the window and entered the house.

At this time, shouldn't Li Ji be in Yazhou or Chengdu Prefecture investigating the profiteering and trafficking of illegal salt and tea? Why did he suddenly appear here?

She was confused and asked in a low voice.

"I'm here to investigate something and will be back soon." Li Ji frowned slightly and said, "Someone outside the door just now tried to climb up. Who is targeting you?"

If he hadn't arrived in time, the man might have already climbed in through the window.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak." Jiang Yin said unhappily, "If he really climbs up today, he will never come back."

She suspected that the person who dared to climb her window was someone from the search team. Seeing that she and Xiao Luo were girls, he had evil intentions.
