Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

It was obvious that Jiang Yin really wanted to know the truth, so the old lady finally sighed and said, "Since seven days ago, your teahouse has been closed like it is now. If you didn't know, you would think you went to the city to visit me."

The news that the head and mistress of the Jiang family had died spread throughout the entire Yazhou City. Therefore, no one would think too much about the recent unusual movements of the Jiang family.

"Missing you?" Jiang Yin frowned slightly.

No wonder the old lady didn’t mention the teahouse just now. It turned out that she thought the teahouse was closed because her parents were murdered.

But those who missed their parents had returned home long after their parents were buried.

Moreover, even if they are just missing each other, the teahouse will still keep people.

The Jiang family is a large and powerful family. No matter how big the incident is, they will not ignore their own foundation and rush to the provincial capital.

Even if they wanted to go to the capital, only family representatives or stewards would go. Ordinary tea masters could not go at all.

So, what exactly caused the teahouse to close down?

Jiang Yin's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

After a while, Wang Heng, who had gone out to get information, also came back. Jiang Yin didn't ask anything, but ordered him a bowl of wontons first.

No matter what you find out, this is not the place to talk, and there is no need to rush.

After finishing the wontons and thanking the old lady, Jiang Yin, who had originally planned to continue his journey to Mount Meng, decided to return to his residence in Yazhou to stay for one night and set off early the next morning.

It’s not that she is not anxious about the tea mountain, but the teahouse’s affairs are equally important.

Some things may not seem to be related on the surface, but in fact they are closely linked. Maybe the teahouse incident will also be involved in the subsequent events.

On the way back, Jiang Yin thought for a long time, but still couldn't find the incident of the teahouse in his memory of his previous life.

On second thought, it made sense. In her previous life, she was trapped in the backyard and trusted Zhang Yuanzhi, leaving Jiang's company entirely to Zhang Yuanzhi. She had never been to Yazhou again, so how could she know the news here?

She sighed again, then turned to Wang Heng and asked, "Have you found out the reason? Why is the teahouse closed?"

She actually didn't have any hope. After all, it was impossible to find out everything clearly in such a short time.

Unexpectedly, Wang Heng actually got some news. He looked around and then lowered his voice and said, "Madam, Manager Cao is missing."

He looked at Jiang Yin with a tense expression. Things happened one after another, and he wondered if his wife could handle all these troubles.

"Missing?" Jiang Yin asked in surprise, "Did you report it to the police?"

The Jiang's Teahouse in Yazhou was managed by Manager Cao. She thought of many reasons why the teahouse was closed, but she didn't expect it to be this.

The manager was missing, which was a big problem. If everyone else had gone to look for someone, it would be understandable that the teahouse was closed.

Thinking of this, she turned around and walked towards the yamen.

Wang Heng said quickly, "Don't worry, my lady. We have already reported the case. It's not just Manager Cao who is missing. The teahouse has also received threatening letters. As a result, the tea masters dare not open the door for business, but hide at home and dare not go out."

He had been to all these people's homes and got the same answer.

"Hidden at home? Same answer?" Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to the government office and ask if there is any progress regarding the disappearance of Manager Cao and the threatening letter.

Also, find someone to keep an eye on these people, and if anything unusual happens, tell me immediately."

It's not like we haven't received threatening letters before, but we've never closed down like we are doing now.

Furthermore, normally, if Manager Cao was missing, everyone should try to find him or ask the Jiang family for help instead of hiding at home.

But she never received any message for help, or maybe they were asking for help from the old house.

As one problem after another arose, Jiang Yin was puzzled as to what had gone wrong.

While she was thinking, she had already arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion, and Yan Ge'er also drove the repaired carriage to the door.

The Jiang Mansion in Yazhou is only a quarter of an hour away from the teahouse. In addition to the Jiang Mansion, there are also the mansions of the other three families in Mengshan in this alley.

It was not a coincidence, but when they bought the house, the four families discussed buying it together.

Not only that, after buying the house, the four families simultaneously demolished the house and rebuilt it.

Therefore, the four houses are extremely luxurious both inside and outside.

Except for the Jiang family, the other three families have people living here for a long time.

However, this mansion of the Jiang family does not belong to the family, but only to Jiang Yin's parents.

Even if the house is empty on weekdays, other members of the Jiang family will not be allowed to live there.

Of course, in order to facilitate daily travel, the Jiang family also has another house with two courtyards in Yazhou. That house belongs to the family's property, and anyone who needs it can live there.

"Madam, I'll go knock on the door." Xiao Luo picked up the hem of her skirt and ran forward. Just as she was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.

She glared and asked, "Why is it you? Where is the housekeeper?"

"Why can't it be me? Go away, don't be disrespectful. Get out of the way." Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to push away the little girl who was blocking the way, but he found Jiang Yin, who was standing more than ten feet away, and his expression changed instantly.

He said flatteringly, "Why are you here, Ah Yin? If you have anything, just let my father come. Why did you come all the way here?"

He raised his hand to put it on Jiang Yin's shoulder, but Jiang Yin dodged by turning sideways.

"Are you waiting to be robbed?" Jiang Yin pointed at the mansion and taunted, "Tell me, who gave you the guts to move in without my consent?"

Zhang Yang is the son of her good uncle Zhang Yuanzhi. They are indeed father and son, both of them are shameless people.

Compared to Zhang Yuanzhi's greed and stupidity, Zhang Yang is also a bit more vicious.

She remembered that since she was a child, anyone who offended Zhang Yang's servants would have a bad ending. At the very least, they would go crazy, and at the worst, they would lose their lives.

Thinking of this, her face turned a little ugly, and she was worried that Zhang Yang would take action against the original people in the mansion.

Although this mansion is often empty, there are still guards and an old butler guarding it.

"Ayin, what are you talking about?" Zhang Yang's eyes flashed with anger, and then he smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no need to distinguish between you and me. When you came to Yazhou before, you can come back here."

Haha, these will all be his soon, he is just enjoying them in advance.

"Who are we from?" Jiang Yin's face darkened. "Move out now. I'm not dead yet. This is the Jiang family. You can't act recklessly."

The people of the Zhang family are so shameless that everyone, big or small, covets the Jiang family's property.

So, if she had not come to Yazhou this time, would her Jiang Mansion have become Zhang Mansion?

Jiang Yin slapped herself in her heart. She was really stupid in her previous life.

Xiao Luo also put her hands on her hips and said, "Yes, move out. My wife is not even on your Zhang family's genealogy. She has nothing to do with your Zhang family."
