Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 41 Assassination

In order to check the taste, Xiao Luo drank half a cup of tea in one breath. But she still frowned, with confusion and inquiry in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, there was nothing Jiang Yin didn't understand.

Jiang Yin raised his eyes and said, "Did you also find that the taste is familiar, but not exactly the same?"

There is no one in the Jiang family who doesn't understand tea, so Xiao Luo can naturally tell something different from this tea.

"Hmm," Xiao Luo nodded vigorously, "That's the feeling, ma'am, could this be Mengshan tea made by someone else?"

Although they are all Mengshan tea, there are still subtle differences between the teas made by the four Mengshan tea producers.

Jiang Yin shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, this looks like a combination of Mengdingshihua and Huangya, but it is not the real Mengshan tea.

Moreover, it is certain that this tea is not from Yazhou. As for where it comes from, we need to investigate further to find out."

If it was produced in Yazhou, I believe that under the tea monopoly system, no one would want to make tea like this unless approved by the government.

After all, when Mengshan tea is profitable and rare, it must be made first.

If this new tea is made according to the method of Mengshan tea, or is made more refined, its taste and quality will be comparable to that of Mengshan tea.

Can it be compared with Mengshan tea?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin narrowed her eyes slightly. Perhaps, she could start with this new tea.

All Mengshan tea was monopolized by the government, and although sales were no longer a problem, the price was kept extremely low by the government, so there was not much profit to be made.

If this continues for a long time, her Jiang's business and income will definitely be greatly affected. In serious cases, it will also affect the foundation.

But if she could find the origin of this new tea and start with the new tea, it might be another opportunity for the Jiang family.

Even if the government asked her to make up for the lost 20% to 30% of Mengshan tea, she was confident that she could use this new tea to convince the Tea and Horse Bureau and the government.

However, the premise of all this is that she can find this new tea.

Jiang Yin had a plan in mind. He asked Xiao Luo to clean up the table and wash up, then he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Butler Zhao went out in the afternoon and never came back.

When Wang Heng arrived, Jiang Yin asked him to go out and secretly follow Butler Zhao.

After all, she has worked in Jiang's for so many years. Before finding out the truth, she must ensure the safety of Butler Zhao.

The quietness of the past two days made Jiang Yin think that those who wanted to assassinate her had temporarily given up the idea.

However, today's rainy night, dark and windy, is perfect for killing someone.

Jiang Yin, who was not in deep sleep, moved his ears slightly and suddenly heard a brisk jumping sound coming from the roof. It was someone running on the roof.

She sat up suddenly, put on her clothes hurriedly, and woke up Xiao Luo who was sleeping on the couch.

Xiao Luo was about to speak, but she raised her hand to stop him.

She pointed to the roof and signaled Xiao Luo to listen carefully with her eyes.

The movement on the rooftop was getting closer and more obvious.

Xiao Luo's eyes widened, obviously she also heard the noise.

She quickly put on her shoes, picked up the knife on the couch, and hid by the door with Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin also held a big knife in her hand. She picked it from the warehouse after the assassination attempt and placed it beside the bed.

This is so that if there is an assassination attempt again, there will be a handy tool.

Xiao Luo clung to her, ready to protect her at any time.

Jiang Yin held a knife in one hand and a whistle in the other. He was ready to blow the whistle to summon the secret guards when the assassin came in.

In fact, as long as she was in danger, the secret guards would come out to rescue her without a whistle. But she liked to take matters into her own hands, and blowing the whistle was safer.

However, before she could blow the whistle, the sound of fighting was heard from the rooftop.

Judging from the sound, the fight was quite intense.

Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the guards in the mansion must have discovered the assassin.

There are more than thirty guards in the mansion, and excluding those guarding near the warehouse, there are more than twenty of them.

These guards were carefully selected by their parents, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts. It would not take too much effort to deal with these assassins.

However, before she could completely relax, the window of her room was violently kicked open.

Two assassins jumped in through the window and walked towards her with knives raised.

Jiang Yin's expression tensed. As the window was kicked open, he blew a whistle and ran out of the yard with Xiao Luo.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the secret guards rushed up from all directions.

In addition to the ones sent out, there are four more secret guards around her.

The four secret guards quickly dealt with the two assassins and then retreated to Jiang Yin's side to protect her.

Jiang Yin was just about to ask them to go help others when four more assassins rushed into her yard.

There were four assassins, and each of the four secret guards was dealing with one of them. They soon engaged in a fierce fight.

Jiang Yin pulled Xiao Luo against the wall and stayed alert to avoid a sneak attack.

With a "bang", the body of an assassin fell from the roof, scaring Jiang Yin and Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo shuddered, protecting Jiang Yin and moving to the side, then said worriedly: "My wife, there are too many assassins coming, let's go out of the house and report to the authorities."

This is in the city. As long as you report it to the authorities, they will take care of the matter.

No matter how many assassins there are or how powerful they are, they dare not easily go against the government.

"Going out is a dead end." Jiang Yin looked at the fierce fight on the roof and said, "Let's run to the warehouse."

There are ten guards in the warehouse, and they are not allowed to leave without her permission, but the warehouse is the safest place to deploy them.

Even in this situation today, Jiang Yin would not transfer all the guards in the warehouse. After all, who can guarantee that this is not a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

Xiao Luo's eyes lit up and she agreed, "Yes, run to the warehouse."

Jiang Yin blew the whistle, asking the secret guard to follow as soon as possible. Then he pulled Xiao Luo along and ran quickly to the warehouse along the hidden place.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and her yard had already turned into a river of blood. Even the water dripping from the eaves was blood.

Jiang Yin was a little frightened, but he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, let alone whether he would get wet in the rain, he just ran as hard as he could to the warehouse.

There were four secret guards fighting four against four. The secret guard with the strongest martial arts skill quickly eliminated his opponent and caught up.

Seeing this, the other three also quickened their pace, dealt with the assassin and followed.

The assassinated protagonist left, and the assassins on the roof and in the yard were trying to keep up with Jiang Yin.

The battlefield of the fight is gradually shifting towards the warehouse.

Jiang Yin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the four secret guards catching up.

If they didn't catch up, what would they do if two assassins jumped out halfway?

Speak of the devil, here he appears. Just as Jiang Yin finished his thought, two assassins really jumped out to block his way.

She raised her hand and slapped herself twice, damn your bad mouth.

Fortunately, the secret guard was beside her and went straight up to fight with the two men. She took Xiao Luo and continued to run towards the warehouse.
