Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin arranged most of them at the foot of the two tea mountains. In addition, he arranged two more at the top and halfway up the mountain.

Although for the Liangfeng Tea Mountain, even if Jiang’s own people are added, they cannot completely cover the tea mountain.

But the three major families also did not send that many people.

With so many people guarding here, at least it could scare them a little and make them quiet down for a while so that she could catch her breath.

After arranging for everyone to come back, Jiang Yin saw Wan Sheng lying in the corner stealthily, not knowing what he was looking at.

Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, walked lightly to his side, then signaled Xiao Luo with his eyes to take a few steps forward to find out what was going on.

Xiao Luo was also naughty. She sneaked up to Wansheng and looked in the direction he was looking. It was the old housekeeper of Yazhou City who was talking to Aunt Jiang.

Xiao Luo was speechless for a while, then raised her hand and patted Wan Sheng's shoulder and said, "What are you looking at, Second Uncle?"

"Ouch." Wan Sheng was startled, jumped to the side, patted his chest and said, "You silly girl, who are you trying to scare to death?"

"Who are you talking about, dead girl?" Xiao Luo glared, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. What did the second uncle do to let my wife down?"

She has always been clear about what she loves and hates, and she dislikes anyone who bullies her wife.

Wan Sheng, who was about to curse, heard this and his eyes flickered. He then tilted his neck and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, damn girl? It's unlucky."

After saying that, he left cursing, and he didn't even notice Jiang Yin standing beside him.

At the same time, Butler Zhao and Aunt Jiang also came over.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Jiang Yin felt that Butler Zhao had aged a lot.

He came to Jiang Yin and knelt down in front of her tremblingly: "My dear lady, I am guilty!"

Jiang Yin's eyes twitched slightly, and she quickly avoided the courtesy of Butler Zhao, motioning Xiao Luo to help her help the man up.

She said with displeasure: "What is Grandpa Zhao doing? Are you trying to shorten my life?"

Even if Butler Zhao was wrong, she was already at this age and could not accept his kneeling.

Aunt Jiang chimed in, "Yes, Uncle Zhao, let's sit down and talk it over. You're making it very difficult for Yin to do this."

She looked displeased and was very dissatisfied with Butler Zhao's actions just now.

Even she couldn't accept such a big gift from Butler Zhao, let alone Jiang Yin who was a generation younger.

This housekeeper Zhao is really something. He has already stepped one foot into the coffin, but he is still doing these meaningless things.

However, Butler Zhao wiped his face and said, "I am too ashamed to face the young lady. That bastard Zhao Xiao ran away. He was the one who replaced the old tea in the warehouse. He had already sold the old tea before he ran away.

He couldn’t tell exactly who he sold it to, he just knew it was a trader from out of town.”

He didn't keep a close eye on the person and let him escape.

Jiang Yin pursed her lips and said, "Where is that merchant? Are the tea leaves that were replaced in the warehouse his?"

If she could find the vendor, she would be able to find out where the new tea she had never seen before came from, and she could also follow the trail to find new tea to replace the Mengshan tea.

As for Zhao Xiao's whereabouts, she was not worried at all. After all, she had already sent people to monitor these tea doctors.

As long as Zhao Xiao escapes, her people will capture him.

I guess, by now Zhao Xiao has been captured and locked up in the government office.

Butler Zhao said with a look of annoyance: "The new tea is indeed from that merchant, but the merchant has also run away, and I don't know where he is now."

In short, all the important people have fled, and their belongings have been taken away. The current situation is that there is no one to turn to.

"Do you have a portrait of the merchant?" Jiang Yin continued to ask, "Has Grandpa Zhao ever seen him?"

Knowing nothing is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and she wanted to know more about the vendor.

If she could find the vendor and the new tea production area, she would be able to let Zhao Xiao go. After all, he had helped her a lot by accident.

This big favor will not only solve the tea monopoly problem, but also resolve the Jiang family’s business crisis for many years to come.

However, the answer from Butler Zhao disappointed her. Butler Zhao had never seen the vendor, only Zhao Xiao had seen him. But Zhao Xiao ran away, so no one knew.

Seeing the disappointment on her face, Aunt Jiang couldn't help but say, "A Yin wants to get the vendor back? Otherwise, forget it. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where can you find it?

The most important thing for us now is to harvest the tea leaves from the tea mountain safely and securely."

"Yes." Jiang Yin nodded, "But he took away my Jiang family's Mengshan tea. I will not let this matter go."

She did not mention replacing Mengshan tea with new tea to avoid any problems.

Butler Zhao took over the conversation and said, "It's useless. The merchant has already gone far away. If his purpose was to exchange horses, he would have left Yazhou by now."

He paused, looking embarrassed, and said, "Besides, the merchant probably doesn't know that there are so many things going on."

Jiang Yin snorted in his heart, I don't know, that's impossible. What does Mengshan tea mean? Anyone who has set foot in Yazhou City knows it.

She curled her lips and smiled, saying meaningfully: "That's not necessarily true, I think my people have already invited those tea masters from the teahouse to the mansion.

Come on, Grandpa Zhao, let's go back and take a look. Maybe Zhao Xiao is in there too. We can get some information from him."

Li Ji's men are watching over the tea mountain, so there won't be any big problems. It's okay for her to go back to Yazhou City to deal with this problem temporarily.

This time when she goes back, she must find the source of the new tea.

Hearing this, Butler Zhao's pupils shrank slightly. He felt complicated, he didn't expect that the young lady's mind was so meticulous.

But he still didn't say anything, and followed Jiang Yin back to Yazhou City.

Aunt Jiang was worried and wanted to go back with Jiang Yin, but Jiang Yin refused on the grounds that the tea trees needed watering.

Originally, Jiang Yin wanted to keep Wang Heng in the old house, but Wang Heng was worried about her and insisted on going with her.

Jiang Yin had no choice but to leave Yan Ge'er in the old house and let Wang Heng drive the carriage back to Yazhou with her.

When Butler Zhao came to the old house, he asked the coachman from Yazhou Prefecture to drive him here in a horse-drawn carriage.

The same thing happened when they went back. After all, Jiang Yin and Xiao Luo were both women, and it was not convenient for Butler Zhao to squeeze into the same carriage with them.

The journey back was uneventful and nothing special happened.

Just at the entrance of the alley in the mansion, Jiang Yin met Hu Quan who was also returning to the city.

Hu Quan's carriage stopped at the gate of Hu Mansion, and the servants were moving things silently.

Seeing Jiang Yin's carriage coming, Hu Quan said with a smile: "Oh, niece, you can't get used to living in the countryside, so you come back to the city to enjoy yourself?"

He took two steps forward and continued, "I have long said that life in the countryside is hard. If my niece enters my Hu family, she will just enjoy herself."
