Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 148 Begging for mercy

Li Ji thought that he had made a great progress because Jiang Yin did not chase him away when they returned to Mengshan. He believed that if he continued to work hard, he would definitely be able to enter Jiang Yin's heart.

He was smug all the way, and Jiang Yin saw it many times when he lifted the car curtain.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she was speechless.

However, this joy was forced to end when they were about to reach Yazhou City.

Before they reached Yazhou, people from the Tea and Horse Service rode towards them at full speed.

The sound of horse hooves stopped ten feet in front of the carriage. It seemed that they had already found out who was in Jiang Yin's group.

The leader dismounted, ran straight to Li Ji, knelt on one knee and said, "Sir..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Ji interrupted him.

Li Ji rode his horse back to the carriage and whispered to Jiang Yin, "Miss Jiang, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."

Jiang Yin tilted his head and gave him a strange look, then waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, go and do your work, don't worry about me."

There's no need to tell her all this. Since you're not looking for her, she won't care.

Li Ji smiled, didn't explain anything, turned around and went to talk to the people from the Tea and Horse Department.

I don’t know what they said, but Li Ji looked a little unhappy when he came back.

"The Tea and Horse Department is a bunch of rubbish. Another batch of tea was lost along the way." Li Ji had a cold face, but he spoke softly to Jiang Yin, "I'm sorry, I can't escort you back in person. I'll go first, and my people will escort you back."

They were almost in Yazhou, so it would be no problem for them to go their separate ways. Even if there were any problems, he would be able to get there as soon as possible.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "Mr. Li, just go and do your work. Business is more important. I will go back to Yazhou City first. It will only take a little over a quarter of an hour to get there."

She looked at the peddlers and hawkers coming and going on the official road. No one would be stupid enough to fight in front of so many people in broad daylight.

As for the theft of tea from the Tea and Horse Company, since Li Ji avoided her and didn't want her to know about it, she didn't dare to ask too much.

After Li Ji left with numerous instructions, Jiang Yin asked Yan Ge'er to speed up and they quickly returned to Yazhou City.

Because of Mengshan tea and black tea, Yazhou City is crowded with people coming and going.

Jiang Yin simply got off the carriage and walked back slowly with Xiao Luo.

Perhaps because she was shopping slowly, when she returned home, she unexpectedly saw two people who did not get along with each other, Shen Fugui and Zhang Yang, at the door.

She frowned slightly, wondering how these two people got together and were sneaking around in front of her house.

"Ayin, you're finally back!" Zhang Yang put away his fan and ran towards her without any image.

He reached out to pull Jiang Yin, but Jiang Yin dodged sideways.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yin said coldly, "Stay away from me."

She cursed inwardly, wondering why she didn't catch this guy and put him in jail.

Zhang Yang paused for a moment and had to stop, pretending to be disappointed and looking at Jiang Yin, saying, "Ah Yin, you are so cruel, my father is your second uncle, your real second uncle, how could you bear to send him to jail?

Be obedient, we are one family and we should not have different opinions. Go and release my father. We are still one family, the closest family."

Without him as a male heir, the Jiang family would have been divided up long ago, and Jiang Yin would not have been able to live a comfortable life.

Jiang Yin rolled his eyes at him and said speechlessly, "You think I'm the one who runs the prison, and I can arrest and release people at will."

She paused and continued, "Besides, your father is plotting a rebellion, which is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Fortunately, I have already severed my relationship with your Zhang family, so it cannot affect me.

As for you, I'm afraid you will be arrested soon like your father. If I were you, I would definitely make amends and try to reduce the crime as much as possible. "

Zhang Yang is really stupid, but he hasn't done anything harmful to the world. At most, he is just an idle second-generation rich kid.

"You! You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Yang's face turned red as he shouted angrily, "Well, you, I didn't expect you to have such a dirty heart, actually accusing your own uncle!"

Xiao Luo stepped in front of Jiang Yin, put her hands on her hips and cursed: "Whose heart is it? Your Zhang family has the dirtiest heart! You must be out of money to pick a fight with my wife.

Get out of here, get out of here, or I'll report you to the police!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a team of guards ran out of the Jiang Mansion and surrounded Zhang Yang and Shen Fugui, preventing them from getting close to Jiang Yin.

"Young lady, you are back." Emperor Zhao stepped forward quickly and saluted, "Young lady, please go back to the mansion first. Leave these things outside to me, this old servant."

We're already at the doorstep, I can't let my daughter be bullied by others.

Jiang Yin looked at Zhang Yang and Shen Fugui who dared not say a word, then said "OK" to Butler Zhao, and walked into the mansion.

"Wait a minute."

This time it was not Zhang Yang's voice, but Shen Fugui's.

Shen Fugui looked at Jiang Yin with a complicated expression and said, "Miss Jiang, would you mind speaking with me for a moment? There are things I want to talk to you alone."

Seeing Jiang Yin, who looked like the head of a family, he felt very complicated.

He also wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't because he had something to ask for.

Jiang Yin paused slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled, but still turned around and said, "What is the matter, Mr. Shen? Feel free to speak."

She was not in a hurry to go back home, so it would be fine to listen to what Shen Fugui wanted to say.

With Jiang Yin's permission, the guards immediately made way for Shen Fugui.

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes and wanted to follow him out, but was blocked by the sword in Wang Heng's hand.

Zhang Yang glared at Wang Heng fiercely, and could only purse his lips and retreat, not daring to move.

Jiang Yin is a ruthless person. He is afraid that if he offends someone too much, he will be sent to jail as well.

On the other side, Jiang Yin, who had walked two meters away with Shen Fugui, stopped and turned back to Shen Fugui and asked, "What do you want to say?"

In her impression, Shen Fugui is also one of those second-generation rich people who is fearless.

But when she looked carefully at this moment, she actually saw a sense of decadence in Shen Fugui.

Shen Fugui took a step back, bowed deeply to Jiang Yin, and then said, "Miss Jiang is a generous person, and she is also a blessed person.

In the past, my Shen family has let you down too much, and I don’t expect you to forgive me, but in the future, my Shen family will do everything we can to compensate you and the Jiang family..."

"Stop." Jiang Yin raised her hand to stop him from talking, frowning slightly and said, "If you want to talk about these trivial things, then don't say any more."

She turned around and was about to go back to the house, but Shen Fugui quickly stopped her and said, "Young Lady Jiang, please stay. I just said it sincerely. However, I have one more thing to ask of you. I wonder if you can help me?"

Seeing that Jiang Yin's patience was running out, he didn't dare to keep her in suspense and could only continue, "My father was arrested and taken to the Tea and Horse Department due to a misunderstanding. I heard that Miss Jiang had a close relationship with the Supervisory Commissioner. So, I would like to ask Miss Jiang to help put in a few good words for him."

He felt bitter in his heart. If there was no other way, he would not have come to Jiang Yin for help.
