Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Who is the murderer? This is what everyone cares about.

Although Jiang Yin knew clearly that the people behind this must be the other three families in Mengshan, Zhang Yuanzhi might even be involved.

But words are not enough, this matter must be based on hard evidence. If she doesn't have sufficient evidence, she can't do anything to them.

But it is not easy to find evidence. After all, these are not the cases that Li Ji investigated secretly. There are account books or other traces to be found. He can only find a solution as soon as possible.

After hearing Jiang Yin's question, Wang Heng was silent for a while, then said, "My lady, forgive me for being frank, but this matter is probably related to those hills next door."

He raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Yin, then lowered them, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, then sneered and said, "Since they are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust. You go and do something for me tonight... Remember to disguise yourself and don't let others see you."

She paused and continued, "If someone finds out, I'll go next time."

Wang Heng's eyes brightened as he listened, and he immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

After Jiang Yin finished slowly explaining his plan, the two followed Jiang Xiaoya and returned to the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, in addition to Uncle Mo, Xiao Luo and Jiang Xiaoya, there was another person holding Jiang Xiaoya's hand and looking towards the road up the mountain.

Seeing Jiang Yin's figure, the man quickly turned his back and didn't look at her.

Jiang Yin curled her lips slightly, lifted her skirt and ran forward, reached out and patted the man's shoulder, and said softly: "Second Mother."

That’s right, this person is Jiang Xiaoya’s mother, Jiang Er Niang, also Jiang Yin’s second mother.

Jiang Yin was still happy to see Er Niang, but it seemed that Er Niang didn't want to see her very much. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

However, just when she was sad, Er Niang suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly. After a while, she could hear sobbing. It was Er Niang crying.

Jiang Yin's body froze, and he was unable to react to what was happening.

But she still raised her hands to hug Er Niang, and patted her back gently, silently comforting her.

After a long while, she finally heard the second mother's muffled voice: "Ayin, you have worked hard. Don't worry, as long as you don't give away our Jiang family's foundation, the second mother will always be your backer and support."

It’s not that she didn’t believe Jiang Yin, but there had been such signs in the past, so she couldn’t blindly believe him.

Hearing this, Jiang Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Madam, no one can take away my Jiang family's things."

What all members of the Jiang family have learned since childhood is to assist their direct descendants in managing the tea mountains and protecting the tea mountains and tea business.

Therefore, the Jiang family members valued the tea mountain more than her as the heir.

The tribesmen now distrusted her, and they also blamed herself for living too naively in the past, relying on the fact that she was not yet of marriageable age and immersed herself in making and tasting tea.

Her parents also indulged her, wanting her to get involved in these worldly things after she reached the age of 15.

Who could have thought that life is so unpredictable, her parents passed away suddenly, catching her off guard.

The lessons of her previous life were still fresh in her mind. In this life, she would rather give up all love than be as naive as she was in her previous life.

"Really?" Er Niang let go of Jiang Yin and then grabbed her arm to confirm again, "Jiang's will never be given away or sold, right?"

Er Niang stared into her eyes, as if trying to tell the truth from her words.

Jiang Yin nodded vigorously and replied, "Really!"

Then, she changed the subject and said helplessly: "However, if the problem of tea trees is not solved, I am afraid that the government will take action soon and the tea mountain will not be able to be saved.

Second Mother, let's talk as we walk. Tell me what's going on. Why did the tea trees on the hillside suddenly turn yellow? Do you have a reason or a solution?"

Perhaps, she should interrogate everyone in the old house to get useful information from them.

Er Niang's expression was tense and she immediately became nervous. She looked serious and told Jiang Yin everything she knew.

Jiang Yin listened to Er Niang as he walked, and actually heard some useful information from her words.

It turned out that Er Niang and the others had not moved away because of her alone. It was also because the tea trees had been withering recently, and they wanted to be closer to the tea mountain so that they could take care of the tea trees at any time.

Not only that, in addition to the tribesmen guarding the mountain these days, other people will also take turns on duty at night, patrolling and guarding the tea mountain at any time to prevent others from taking advantage of the opportunity.

But even so, the tea trees halfway up the mountain not only showed no signs of improvement, but continued to turn yellow.

This phenomenon left everyone puzzled, and even the doctor in the mansion could not find the cause.

"Didn't find the reason?" Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "The tea trees are withering. Either someone has tampered with the tea trees, or someone has tampered with the soil. Such an easy-to-think-of reason, how could he really not think of it? Or was it intentional?"

Any tea farmer would know the reason, so did the doctor in the mansion really not find any problem?

No matter what, Jiang Yin didn't believe it.

However, Er Niang smiled bitterly and said, "But, we have checked both of them and found no problems. The tea trees have not been poisoned, and no traces of poison were found in the soil."

Perhaps fearing that Jiang Yin would not believe it, she added, "Every tea tree and the soil under the tea trees have been checked one by one, and there is indeed no sign of poisoning. Not only that, your great grandfather and third grandfather also invited other doctors from Yazhou City to take a look, and they found no problems."

This problem seems to have no solution. No matter what method is used, the result is normal.

Jiang Yin pursed her lips and said, "When did the tea trees start to turn yellow? Why didn't you inform me? Even if I was in the capital, even if no one here could spare the time to look for me, they could have sent me a message in a hurry.

Also, why didn't anyone report to me that the teahouse in Yazhou City had closed down and Manager Cao was missing? "

Although Jiang Yin was unwilling to believe it, all signs indicated that there was something wrong with the old house.

She is the only heir to the Jiang family. No matter what the problem is, since her parents are not around, it should be reported to her.

But for so long, all the information she received was brought to her by Wang Heng, or she found out by herself.

The clan members in the old house not only did not take her seriously, but also did not regard her as the heir!

This realization made Jiang Yin's heart ache and he was speechless.

Her series of questions made Er Niang feel a little dizzy. But these questions were reasonable and for a moment, Er Niang didn't know how to answer them.

She didn’t think there was a problem before, but after hearing Jiang Yin say this, she realized it.

Er Niang held Jiang Yin's hand and said in a low voice, "Yin, you can't just go back like this. Go back to the old house first. If you want to ask anything, ask Xiao Heng to go and call people. I'm afraid this Jiang family is no longer the same Jiang family."

Look at everyone's attitude towards Jiang Yin now, each of them is a tough guy.
