Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

The atmosphere in the lobby was tense, as if a fight could break out at any time.

Jiang Yin lowered his eyes and did not speak for the time being, just waiting to see what would happen.

After hearing what Jiang Sanniang said, Jiang Erniang also quit.

She put the teacup down heavily and snorted coldly, "I didn't know that my third brother-in-law cared so much about my father. If he missed my father, he could go downstairs to find him. There's no need to be so sarcastic here."

He was still in charge. Given Xie Daoyun's personality, it was good that he didn't destroy Wan Sheng. What's more, he also mentioned his father who died early without the blessing of a good life.

Seeing that Jiang Erniang didn't give her face at all, Jiang Sanniang's face darkened: "Second sister, what you said is too harsh."

She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Aunt Jiang: "Okay, now is not the time to fight, the real thing is to hurry up and get the job done.

The tea picking season is coming soon, and the tea farm must be ready first. Otherwise, the speed of frying tea cannot keep up, and we still can't complete the task. "

Jiang Yin agreed, "What Auntie said makes sense. Everyone can go and make their own arrangements. Second Auntie and Second Uncle-in-law will stay for a while."

Tea frying and tea making are all done in tea farms. Although tea farms are open on weekdays to make scented tea and other things, they are not used much.

Therefore, before concentrated spring tea picking, it is necessary to check the tea farm inside and out and make adequate preparations.

Jiang Yin kept Jiang Erniang to tell her about the poison in the tea tree so that she would cooperate.

However, in the eyes of others, Jiang Yin kept Jiang Erniang and her husband to preach. After all, Xie Daoyun beat Wan Sheng until he bled.

"Ayin, are you going to talk about your second uncle too?" Jiang Erniang pouted a little aggrieved, as if she would immediately give up if Jiang Yin nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yin knew she had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Second Mother, please don't misunderstand. I am on the side of Second Uncle. Third Uncle is a man who deserves a beating. If I were not a junior and it was difficult to hit him, I would have spared him a long time ago."

Of course, if she found out that Wan Sheng had done anything to offend the Jiang family, she would not show mercy.

Xie Daoyun raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then continued to lie down and play.

"I knew you were sensible, Yin." Jiang Erniang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So you kept us here to talk about the manure?"

"Yes and no." Jiang Yin repeated what Doctor Ge said before talking about her plan.

She specifically let Er Niang and Si Niang be in charge of the manure matter because she trusted them more.

As for why he only told the truth to Er Niang and her husband, it was because of Xie Dao Yun.

She believed that Xie Daoyun would not harm her and was capable of protecting Er Niang.

However, just as she finished speaking, before Er Niang could say anything, Xie Daoyun sat up straight and said, "You should tell the tea supervisor of the Tea and Horse Department about this. What's the point of telling us?"

He just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to get involved in any of this.

Jiang Yin choked, knowing that this was Xie Daoyun's intention not to get involved too much.

She pursed her lips and said, "I will definitely go to the Tea and Horse Department, but I haven't decided when to go yet."

If you alert the enemy, it will be difficult to catch them.

She paused, lowered her voice and continued, "Besides, the traitor in the clan has not been found yet..."

"What are you afraid of? Without destruction, there is no construction." Xie Daoyun said quietly, with his hand under his head, "The Tea and Horse Department is not as useless as you think. In addition, I heard that an inspector has recently come to the Tea and Horse Department. If you can ask this inspector to intervene and help, I believe the truth will be found out soon."

He only gave some advice because Jiang Yin had been sober recently and had not been deceived.

Otherwise, he would rather stay out of it and not get involved in anything than get involved in this mess.

Jiang Yin was slightly stunned and silent for a moment, then turned his head to Jiang Er Niang and asked, "What do you think, Er Niang?"

Yes, there is no construction without destruction. She is not a professional in investigating cases.

The Tea and Horse Department was a matter of great importance, and the people sent by the government would not be useless, and Li Ji was certainly not useless. If we let them get involved earlier, we might get something sooner.

But she still wanted to hear Er Niang's opinion, so she turned her attention to Jiang Er Niang.

Jiang Erniang pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes and said, "Your second uncle is right. It's less than a month before the tea picking season begins. We should go to the Tea and Horse Bureau now.

Let's first tell them how to solve the problem and let them make the decision. As for the detoxification, don't worry, I will proceed with caution."

Detoxification is a very serious matter, we must not give those people any chance to take advantage of us.

"Okay." Jiang Yin stood up and said quickly, "Then I'll go now."

She did what she said and immediately went out to prepare the car to go to the Tea and Horse Market.

Jiang Erniang was worried about her going alone, so she quickly stood up and said, "We'll go with you."

"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourselves." Xie Daoyun quickly refused.

He has done his best by offering advice, but asking him to go to the Tea and Horse Bureau is not okay.

However, since Jiang Er Niang was there, he had to go even if he didn't want to.

Jiang Erniang pinched his waist and gritted her teeth and said, "Go, how can I not go. Do you want us two weak women to face this alone? What if we are bullied? Can you rest in peace with your conscience?"

Jiang Yin smiled secretly and turned away tactfully.

Xie Daoyun pinched his brows and said, "How can my wife be a weak woman? Don't worry, the Tea and Horse Department is not a den of wolves and tigers, and it won't do anything to you."

Jiang Erniang shook her head decisively and said, "No, you must go."

After several rounds, Xie Daoyun finally couldn't resist Jiang Erniang's nagging and agreed to go with them.

But he just stayed outside and didn't care how to tell the tea inspector.

Jiang Yin's lips curled slightly. There is always someone better than you. It has to be Er Niang who can subdue Xie Daoyun.

She felt relieved and more confident knowing that Xie Daoyun could go.

The three of them set off immediately, but this time they didn't bring Xiao Luo with them. Xiao Luo had to stay at home to take care of Jiang Xiaoya.

Wang Heng also had to stay at home and supervise secretly to prevent others from having the opportunity to destroy water sources and manure.

After all, Xie Daoyun is a man of great martial arts skills. With him and the secret guards around, there won’t be any major problems.

The Tea and Horse Bureau was located in Mingshan County where Mount Meng was located. In just a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Tea and Horse Bureau.

Unlike ordinary government offices, the Tea and Horse Agency is a courtyard with red walls.

On the walls on both sides of the gate are gilded murals, and above the door are three large gold-plated characters "Cha Ma Si" written in two languages.

The other language is Tibetan. After all, the tea-horse trade was mainly for war horses with Tibet.

The entire Tea and Horse Service courtyard faces north and south, with symmetrical layouts on the left and right sides, and is entirely carved out of a single piece of stone.

There are also several ochre-red stone pillars lying at the gate, with the words "Red Rabbit" written on them. These stone pillars are horse-tying stones.

This is not Jiang Yin’s first time to come to the Tea and Horse Service, but every time she comes, she is still attracted by the appearance of the Tea and Horse Service.

At present, the new year's tea-horse trade has not yet started on a large scale, so the door of the Tea and Horse Bureau is closed, with only two guards guarding the door.
