Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 43 Entanglement

Although the assassination the day before was terrifying, it did not affect Jiang Yin's schedule for the day.

After sending housekeeper Zhao away, Jiang Yin had a casual lunch, then asked Xiao Yin to take the soil and tea branches brought from the tea mountain, and then take Wang Heng with him to the largest clinic in the city to see a doctor.

However, just as he went out, he met Zhang Yuanzhi and his son Zhang Yang who came hand in hand.

Jiang Yin's face darkened, and he pretended not to see them, turning around and trying to walk another way.

However, Zhang Yuanzhi trotted over and said as he ran: "Niece, why are you running!"

He quickly stood in front of Jiang Yin, his eyes full of regret and said: "I heard that assassins broke into the mansion last night and many people died. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's always unsafe to have no man in this family.

In this way, your brother and I will move back home now. With us here, we promise that what happened last night will not happen again. How about that? "

"Promise not to?" Jiang Yin asked coldly, "Could it be that the assassin last night was sent by Second Uncle?"

She had just arrived in Yazhou when Zhang Yuanzhi chased her. Now he was still talking nonsense, which made her suspect that what happened last night was related to him.

Zhang Yuanzhi might not be able to find so many highly skilled assassins in a short period of time to plan yesterday's assassination, but the people behind him were capable.

Those people behind him were planning a rebellion. Their strategies and intelligence must be very high.

At least, there was no problem planning a murder.

"Nonsense, how could I have sent someone like that?" Zhang Yuanzhi said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I, your second uncle, wish you were safe and sound, so how could I possibly hire someone to assassinate you? How would that benefit me?"

Jiang Yin snorted in his heart, there are so many benefits. Just taking Jiang's for yourself is the biggest benefit.

She stared at Zhang Yuanzhi and said in a serious tone, "Really?"

Zhang Yuanzhi raised his finger and assured, "Really, of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask your brother."

He waved his hand and called Zhang Yang over, who looked reluctant.

However, Zhang Yang only snorted, raised his chin and said, "My father just arrived today and came to see you right after he arrived. You should be content.

If you apologize for your disrespect to me before, I can reluctantly accept and forgive you. You have to apologize first, and then I will move back to the mansion with my father to protect you."

Not only that, the warehouse had to be opened and he had to go in to pick out some compensation.

Jiang Yin snorted coldly and was about to say something, but Zhang Yuan slapped Zhang Yang on the head and scolded him, "You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? What's there to apologize for? You should apologize. Ah Yin is not wrong!"

This brat hasn't been punished by her eldest niece yet, and he actually wants her to apologize humbly.

You know, now even in front of his eldest niece, he can only be humble and pretend to be a grandson.

Zhang Yang covered his head and said unconvincedly: "I don't care, you must apologize, otherwise I won't go back home!"

Jiang Yin rolled his eyes at the two of them and said speechlessly, "Who cares if you come to my house? I tell you, as long as I'm here, don't even think about living in the Jiang Mansion!"

After she finished speaking, she walked around them and left, not wanting to continue to pester them.

"Hey, niece, don't go!"

Zhang Yuanzhi reached out to pull Jiang Yin, but was blocked by Wang Heng who had drawn his sword.

Zhang Yuanzhi immediately stopped and glared at Wang Heng. Then, he stood still and shouted at Jiang Yin, "My niece, I am doing this for your own good. Only by living in my mansion can I protect you. Don't be ungrateful!"

He stamped his feet and wanted to chase after him, but was afraid that Wang Heng's knife would not be sharp.

Jiang Yin didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after you can beat Brother Heng."

With how useless they were, the father and son couldn't even beat her and Xiao Luo, let alone Wang Heng.

It's still protecting. The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and it has no good intentions. Besides, who knows who is protecting whom.

Jiang Yin felt that she did not check the almanac before going out today.

Just after getting rid of the Zhang father and son, he turned a corner and ran into Shen Fugui who had just come out of the mansion.

When Shen Fugui saw her eyes light up, he quickly ran over and said, "What a coincidence, Miss Jiang. It rained really hard last night. I wonder if Miss Jiang heard the sound of someone fighting?"

He approached Jiang Yin and said mysteriously, "I'm afraid it wasn't peaceful last night. I don't know who was fighting."

He was so scared that he dared not go out and could only cover himself with the quilt and shiver.

Jiang Yin glanced at him and said coldly, "My house."

I don't know if this person is stupid or pretending to be ignorant. The three families have always been in collusion with each other. She doesn't believe that the Shen family is not involved in these things.

"What? What in your house?" Shen Fugui looked confused, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

Jiang Yin rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to explain either, so he just walked around him and left.

However, Shen Fugui was also a thick-skinned man. He ignored Jiang Yin's contempt and followed her around.

He shouted, "Miss Jiang, please explain clearly. How can I know if you don't explain clearly?"

However, Jiang Yin still ignored him and just quickened his pace.

Shen Fugui was not discouraged and continued to follow Jiang Yin.

Tired of being quarreled, Xiao Luo said directly: "Young Master Shen is pretending to be ignorant or something, it was our wife who was assassinated last night.

Those assassins are being held in the government office. If Mr. Shen wants to know the details, he might as well go to the government office and ask.”

Ask, ask, ask. With just a few mansions adjacent to each other, she didn't believe that Shen Fugui couldn't guess that something had happened in the Jiang Mansion.

"What!" Shen Fugui's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in disbelief, "Why is it your house?"

Xiao Luo rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's the truth."

After she finished speaking, she no longer paid any attention to Shen Fugui and hurriedly caught up with her wife.

"Hey, explain it clearly." Shen Fugui wanted to chase after him to ask clearly, but was stopped by Wang Heng.

Seeing that Wang Heng looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with, Shen Fugui got a little scared and didn't continue chasing him.

No one was following her, so Jiang Yin relaxed. It wasn't until she turned the corner and entered the downtown area that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know what my parents were thinking in the past, they actually built a mansion together with several other families.

Putting yourself completely under the enemy's nose, if there is any slight disturbance, other people's homes will probably know about it.

Xiao Luo tilted her head and whispered, "Madam, could it be that what happened last night has nothing to do with the Shen family?"

After all, even Shen Fugui, the only heir of the Shen family, doesn't know.

Jiang Yin said calmly: "We don't have any evidence about who did it and who is involved, so we can't do anything about it.

Let's wait for the government to investigate, and then everything will be settled."

She paused and continued, "Besides, how do you know that this wasn't deliberately released to confuse people?"
