Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Let’s not talk about what was happening on Li Ji’s side, let’s just talk about Jiang Yin. After a period of chaos, she finally found a corner and sat down.

The porters were getting ready, as they would be led by the people from the Tea and Horse Bureau to complete the rest of the journey and monitor them as well.

Jiang Yin fanned herself with her hands to relieve the heat and the anxiety in her heart.

Wang Heng stood guard beside her, and picked up a larger leaf from somewhere and used it as a fan to fan Jiang Yin.

Seeing Jiang Yin's worry, Wang Heng pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "Don't worry, Madam. Mr. Li is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him."

It is one thing that good fortune will come to him, but I hope he won't bother his wife anymore after he comes to power.

"I know." Jiang Yin looked listless, worried that he couldn't help in any way.

After a while, the team of porters continued on their journey.

But just as everyone else was carrying tea leaves and walking slowly forward, the young boy sneaked out of the team and ran towards Jiang Yin.

The guard from the Tea and Horse Department looked fierce and was about to draw his sword and rush forward, but was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Jiang Yin who shook his head.

However, after seeing Jiang Yin's signal, the man from the Tea and Horse Service only stopped what he was doing but did not stop walking.

He still followed behind the boy, protecting Jiang Yin while also keeping an eye on the young boy.

Jiang Yin looked up at the young boy running towards her without saying a word. She also wanted to know what the boy wanted to do.

The young boy did not hesitate, and bowed to Jiang Yin and said, "Don't worry, sir, there is no danger on that cliff."

It's just that there are people underneath.

Jiang Yin sat up straight abruptly, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you know that he has been down there?"

Tsk, this young man is extraordinary.

Whether it is his character or his words.

As expected, the young man nodded and said, "I have been there, but I went there secretly."

If the person in front of him wanted to know more, he could also answer. However, he could not memorize the tea leaves.

Jiang Yin raised his eyes and said, "You stay here, as for the tea leaves, someone will help you deliver them.

If your information is useful, you will certainly benefit from it."

She could still afford it, just a few strings of cash.

However, the young man knelt down in front of Jiang Yin, bowed his head, and said solemnly: "I am Wang Gui, and I am willing to serve you."

He paused, then continued, "If possible, I would like to ask for a chance to make military achievements, no money required."

He was an orphan, and if he was well fed the whole family would not be hungry.

He wanted to join the army and make military achievements.

Of course, you can also join the army or serve in the military, but it is definitely different if someone recommends you.

Power is a good thing. He knew that the man who just claimed to be from the Tea and Horse Bureau must be no ordinary person.

If that person had recommended him, he would definitely not have been bullied in the military camp.

Not only will he not be bullied, he may even have the opportunity to demonstrate his own value.

Jiang Yin looked surprised, then said silently: "I can't help you with this matter, but the person who just went down can.

As for whether he will help you or not, it depends on your next performance."

She thought Wang Gui wanted money, but she didn't expect that he wanted a better future.

But if you want to be recommended by the prince, you can't do it without paying anything.

She told Wang Gui clearly that she could not guarantee that this would be successful. As for how to choose, it was up to Wang Gui himself.

Wang Gui quickly expressed his gratitude: "I know, thank you, sir."

"Get up." Jiang Yin looked at Yan Li who was approaching with his men, stood up and took two steps forward, "Follow me, if there is anything, I will explain it to you later."

She and Li Ji disguised themselves and went out to investigate the case. As the tea supervisor of the Tea and Horse Bureau, Yan Li naturally could not stay out of it.

Therefore, Yan Li and his men followed closely behind, so that they could report any situation in time.

At this moment, Yan Li already knew that Li Ji had led his men to the bottom of the cliff. His heart was trembling so much that he almost couldn't ride his horse steadily.

Yan Li got off his horse and walked towards Jiang Yin. Before he could say anything, Jiang Yin spoke first: "Yan Chajian, this is Wang Gui. He knows something about the cliff. I haven't had time to ask him yet."

Although the cliff is low, the situation below is unclear. The longer you stay there, the more dangerous it becomes.

"Really?" Yan Li's eyes lit up, "Let's go and talk over there."

The porters left one after another, and the tea that Wang Gui had originally carried was also carried away by others.

But Jiang Yin and Yan Li still took Wang Gui to a secluded place to interrogate him.

After some questioning, it turned out that Liu Er had already colluded with outsiders and chose to take action on this cliff.

His actions were simple and brutal, and he simply threw the porter and the tea off the cliff.

And after being thrown off the cliff, there will be someone to catch it below.

The bottom of the cliff has been tampered with by someone. You won't die if you fall down, but you will just get injured.

If you are lucky, you will only suffer minor injuries that have no serious impact.

This is not the first time he has done this. It also happened last year, but it was not as blatant as this year.

Wang Gui knew that this was just a coincidence, so he sneaked down and discovered it.

Yan Li grasped the key words and asked, "So, you know the route down there?"

It’s good to know the route. The people sent ahead have to cross the river by feeling the stones.

If there is someone familiar with the route, a lot of detours can be avoided.

"Go back to the Tea Supervisor, I know." Wang Gui said respectfully, "I can also find where those people are hiding."

This will be his first achievement, and he will achieve more and greater achievements in the future.

"Good boy!" Yan Li patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, take us down."

Of course, he would not completely trust Wang Gui, but instead sent a few people to follow Wang Gui down first, and he would follow with his men.

If it is safe, the person in front will leave a mark, and he just needs to follow the mark.

After Wang Gui and his men left, Jiang Yin said, "I want to go too."

If she guessed correctly, this should be the place where Hu Quan, the head of the Hu family in the previous life, was captured. She wanted to go down and witness it with her own eyes.

"Miss Jiang, are you worried about Mr. Li?" Yan Li tilted his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring him back safely."

Tsk, they are really in love, they will never leave each other at times like this.

Jiang Yin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said quietly, "Yan Chajian has misunderstood, I am just trying to do my best.

Don't worry, my people and I can just follow behind and won't cause any trouble for Yancha Supervisor."

She is not completely helpless, so she won't be a drag if she follows behind.

Seeing that she denied it, Yan Li didn't care.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Miss Jiang, please be careful. If you need anything, just call me."

He would have to take all the people away later. He was indeed a little worried about leaving Jiang Yin here alone, so he might as well do as she said.

After getting Yan Li's consent, Jiang Yin immediately asked Wang Heng to gather his people and make arrangements for getting down the cliff later.

Wang Heng frowned and said, "Madam, I will go. You can go back the same way and wait for the news."

No matter how safe the cliff is, it is still steep, and it is normal to feel unsteady on the road.
