Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

After Jiang Yin ran to the warehouse door, he dispatched five guards to the backyard to help.

With the secret guards here, the warehouse and she will be safer.

As time went on, the rain became lighter and lighter, and the assassins became fewer and fewer.

Jiang Yin only encountered five assassins in the warehouse, including the two he met halfway.

She frowned slightly, as if she felt that this was not right. Judging from the situation tonight, the other party seemed to be determined to kill her. How could it be so easy to get away with it?

It was not until Yan Ge'er came that she believed that all the assassins had retreated or died.

"You said that people from the government came and took away the assassin's body?" Hearing Yan Ge'er's words, Jiang Yin stared in disbelief and said, "And that Mr. Li is here too?"

She didn't quite understand what was going on.

Before she had time to report to the authorities, people from the government came on their own initiative. Not only that, even Li Ji came.

Thinking of this, she frowned slightly. Wasn't Li Ji in the Tea and Horse Bureau in Mingshan? Why did he come here?

Yan Ge'er said respectfully, "Yes, young lady. They are still cleaning up in the backyard. Do you want to go over?"

Jiang Yin nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."

No matter what, as the person in charge of the Jiang family, she should thank them.

There are a total of about twenty assassins tonight, all of them are good at martial arts. It can be seen that the real culprit behind the scenes has put a lot of thought into it.

Perhaps because of Li Ji, the people from the government office were very fast. By the time Jiang Yin trotted back to the backyard, they had already finished their work and retreated.

And Li Ji was about to go out.

Jiang Yin hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Li and the yamen runners, for saving my life."

She handed over the purse she had prepared and said sincerely, "This is a little gift from me. I hope Mr. Li can change it into some money and treat the brothers who helped us today to a good meal."

The money in the purse was silver, which was not commonly used in Yazhou. Only big merchants like theirs or eunuchs used it.

If you want to spend money on weekdays, you have to change it into copper coins. Otherwise, most merchants will not accept it.

But for princes and nobles like Li Ji who came from Tokyo, silver was money.

Give the silver to Li Ji and he can exchange it for copper coins.

Besides, others didn't know, but she knew. A bailiff came to help today, and she was afraid that he might have been involved.

I just don’t know how Li Ji knew that there were assassins coming to attack the Jiang Mansion.

Li Ji raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yin with deep eyes. He did not take the money bag, but put one hand behind his back and said: "I just passed by and reported to the government. If Miss Jiang wants to thank you, you can go to the government office tomorrow."

He was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Jiang Yin quickly stopped him and handed him another purse unwillingly.

"No matter what, Mr. Li has saved my life time and again. This is a thank you gift for Mr. Li. I hope you will accept it."

This time, the purse was filled with gold leaves. Although it was nothing to Li Ji, it offset what happened today.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something, but Li Ji always appears whenever I encounter danger recently.

She didn't want to owe more and more, so it would be better to repay the favor.

Perhaps seeing her insistence, Li Ji finally took the purse from her hand and left quickly.

At the end, he turned around and said meaningfully: "Ms. Jiang is so capable of bringing disaster upon herself, it would be better for her to hire more guards and catch the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible."

Jiang Yin stood up straight, raised his hand and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your reminder."

Any little orphan girl who inherited this huge family business would become popular and bring disaster upon herself.

This is undeniable.

As for finding out the murderer behind the scenes, she is certainly doing that, but she has not yet found any specific evidence.

After Li Ji left, Xiao Luo stepped forward and looked in the direction where Li Ji left, and said sincerely: "This Mr. Li is really a dragon among men, and his martial arts are high. It would be great if he could be my wife's husband."

In this way, even if there is an assassination attempt, my wife will not be in danger.

"Xiao Luo, be careful with your words!" Jiang Yin scolded coldly, "Mr. Li is such a rare talent, how can people like us get involved with him.

Remember, he is our savior. In the future, respect him and stay away from him, and don’t say such words again.”

Stay with Li Ji again? Unless she is crazy, it is impossible.

In this life, she would rather live alone and stay with Jiang family for the rest of her life than continue to be involved with Li Ji.

People like Li Ji are like the moon in the sky and the snow on the heights. They can only be admired from afar and not played with.

She sneered in her heart, who did she think she was to bring someone like Li Ji down to earth?

Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Luo was startled and quickly admitted her fault: "It's my fault, madam, don't be angry."

How could she forget that my wife was still in mourning? My wife had said before that she would not consider marriage within three years.

However, Xiao Luo heard the disparagement of herself in her wife's words.

So, she withstood the pressure and gritted her teeth and said, "My lady, please don't belittle yourself. In my eyes, you deserve the best."

My wife is the best wife in the world. Even the moon in the sky is worthy of her.

Jiang Yin didn't have the mood to say more to Xiao Luo at the moment, so he just asked her to clean up the side room and spend the night there.

She also gave the purse that Li Ji did not take to Yan Ge'er, and told Yan Ge'er to take it to the yamen early tomorrow morning and hand it over to the official who helped tonight.

In any case, they all helped tonight, and she should show her appreciation.

After a night of tossing and turning, Jiang Yin was exhausted physically and mentally, but she didn't dare to sleep deeply. It was not until dawn that she was sure there would be no more assassinations that she fell into a deep sleep.

She slept until noon before getting up to wash up and eat.

However, as soon as Jiang Yin opened the door, he saw Butler Zhao walking around the yard anxiously. And Wang Heng, with a tense face, was standing guard at the door.

Seeing that Jiang Yin was safe and sound, Wang Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Butler Zhao rushed over and said anxiously, "Hey, young lady, are you okay? I heard about what happened last night early this morning. I should have come back last night if I had known."

Looking at the annoyed face of Butler Zhao, Jiang Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhao, I'm fine. Someone from the government office came to help last night, and the assassins were all captured."

She changed the subject and continued, "Fortunately, Grandpa Zhao was not here last night, otherwise I would have been in danger."

Judging from past experience, she really does care about Butler Zhao sincerely.

"I'm not afraid." Butler Zhao patted his chest and said, "I'm already old, I live every day to make money. As long as the young lady is safe, I don't mind even if I risk my life."

Jiang Yin waved his hands quickly and said, "No, Grandpa Zhao has to protect himself and live well. He has to live a long life."
