Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

There will be no good result!

Jiang Yin's eyebrows were curved and he was very happy.

Li Ji tilted his head to look at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

He said softly, "Do you have any ideas? If I can do it, I will definitely help you."

For example, if she wanted a certain prisoner to die in a certain way, he didn't have much power, but he could still help with this little favor.

"No need." Jiang Yin said with a smile, "As long as they get the punishment they deserve, I will be satisfied."

Confiscating property, exterminating the clan, and exiling them, this was exactly what she wanted.

Of course, she didn't expect to receive such a punishment for a legitimate prince like Zhao Sheng.

After all, if a clan is exterminated, the officials will be exterminated as well.

All she could do was to assist in the investigation, provide evidence, and bring Zhao Sheng to justice.

She had no other ideas, so Li Ji couldn't say anything more.

He shamelessly stayed for a while longer and then left the Jiang family's old house.

The next morning, Jiang Yin followed his great grandfather, great aunt, and the second aunt and her husband to the Tea and Horse Service to see Li Ji off.

They arrived at the right time. All the prisoners in the prison had been handcuffed and shackled, waiting for Li Ji's order to set off to Beijing.

Seeing them coming, Wan Baozong excitedly said to his great grandfather Jiang Guangwu: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me."

He was really panicked. He didn't expect that they would actually be escorted to Beijing.

He knew that only those who committed serious crimes would be escorted to Beijing for punishment.

If it is a minor offense, it can be resolved directly at the local county government office.

If he is really sent to Beijing this time, he will probably be in great danger.

However, Jiang Guangwu snorted coldly and said, "Don't push your luck. Jiang Lian is not going with you. You should be content."

It was he who asked A Yin to save Jiang Lian. Once the Inspector left, the Tea and Horse Administration would release him.

After Jiang Lian comes out, he will be fine if he lives a good life with Jiang Sanniang.

It was precisely because Jiang Lian was saved that Jiang Sanniang did not show up at the farewell party.

"We haven't done anything to harm the world." Wan Sheng clenched his fists and said angrily, "Can't we just keep our family affairs to ourselves?"

Jiang Guangwu was so angry that he fell backwards. They still haven't realized how big a mistake they made!

Jiang Yin glanced at them and said calmly, "Grandpa, there is no need to say more to them. The law will determine right and wrong. We are just ordinary people and cannot care so much."

If they have done nothing wrong, the law cannot control them.

But if you really do something wrong, they can't do anything about it.

Jiang Guangwu came back to his senses and said with relief: "I was thinking about it wrongly."

Why should he waste time arguing about anything?

Jiang Yin nodded and strode towards Li Ji and Yan Li.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Yan, the Tea Supervisor." She bowed to them. "Thanks to you two, my Jiang family was able to preserve the Mengshan tea in the turmoil."

She took the two packages from Xiao Luo's arms and handed them to Li Ji and Yan Li: "This is a small gift from Jiang. They are just some worthless dry food. I wish Mr. Li and Yan Chajian a safe journey and a bright future."

She didn't lie, there was indeed dry food in the bag, but it was fine food specially prepared for Li Ji and Yan Li. After all, it was not easy to bribe in front of everyone.

However, although it is not a valuable item, it is also a specialty of Chengdu.

As the tea supervisor, Yan Li had to return to Beijing to report on his work after such a big incident.

This year's tea-horse trade has basically ended. When Yan Li is away, the county magistrate will temporarily take over the post of tea supervisor.

Li Ji, who was originally quite happy, suddenly fell in expression when he saw that Yan Li also had the same burden.

It was not until they set out to a place where Jiang Yin and the others could not see them and Yan Li stuffed his bag into his hand in a bad mood that his mood improved.

But he raised his chin and pretended to be calm and said, "Since Yan Chajian is so enthusiastic, I will not refuse it."

Yan Li's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "Mr. Li, why don't you express your feelings and take Miss Jiang to the capital together?"

He just didn't understand how a man of Li Ji's status could be so devoted to Miss Jiang.

It would be fine if she just fell in love with him, but considering his status, how could Miss Jiang refuse him?

Wouldn't it be nice to make your feelings clear as soon as possible and win the beauty?

However, after hearing his words, the corners of Li Ji's mouth, which had just been raised, immediately drooped again.

He glanced at Yan Li coldly, said nothing, and rode his horse past Yan Li, staying away from him.

Yan Li opened his mouth in a daze, not understanding how he had offended this gentleman again.

Li Ji, who was sulking alone, rode at full speed for a distance all the way to Chengdu Prefecture, where he stopped and waited for Yan Li and the others to come.

In order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, the prisoners all rode in prison vans, which did not waste much time.

After the others caught up, Li Ji said, "According to the original plan, we must ensure that the prisoners arrive in Tokyo safely."

There have been many cases of prisoner kidnapping in history, and this time it involved the tea-horse trade, so the government attached great importance to it.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent here, and the prisoner would not have been sent all the way to Tokyo for trial.

Moreover, the rebels were involved. Who knew if those rats hiding in the dark would come out and block the way.

Yan Li's expression became serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will definitely send the prisoner to the capital safely. Mr. Li, please take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Li Ji nodded slightly, then turned sideways to let them leave first.

After they left, Li Ji led his men to another road.

Of course, some of his people also followed Yan Li.

Dividing the troops into two groups to better lure out the people hiding in the dark was what Li Ji and Yan Li had planned in advance.

As expected, after Yan Li's group of prisoners left Chengdu Prefecture, they encountered the rebels who were trying to capture them before they reached Mianzhou.

After the rebels came out to capture the prisoners, they went straight to the prison van without stopping.

However, Li Ji had already anticipated this situation. As soon as they approached the prison van, they were caught off guard and stabbed to death by a knife that came out of the van.

It turned out that the prisoners in the prison car had been replaced by Fan Zhizhou's men in Chengdu Prefecture.

The real prisoners had already been secretly escorted back to Beijing.

The rebels who tried to capture the prisoners were quickly captured and sent alive to Fan Zhizhou's camp for interrogation.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Yan Li continued to send the "prisoners" to Beijing as if nothing had happened.

These 'prisoners' are bait that can catch waves of fish.

Yan Li encountered an ambush, and the same thing happened to Li Ji, but even worse.

Li Ji and his men were surrounded by a team of cavalry, and Zhao Sheng was also among them.

Li Ji's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't expect that Zhao Sheng would actually dare to rebel and even keep private soldiers.

Zhao Sheng rode on his horse, raised his chin and looked at Li Ji proudly: "Li Ji, I'll give you a chance. Surrender and let me use you. Otherwise, my cavalry will not show mercy."
