Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Xiao's attitude made housekeeper Zhao sad and helpless.

Seeing that Zhao Xiao still didn't say anything, he kicked him again and said, "Hurry up and speak."

"Oh, Dad." Zhao Xiao curled up and wailed, "What I said is true. I have spent all the money. Only after I spend it, it belongs to me."

"You prodigal son, don't call me dad!" Butler Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "I have made a mistake. From now on, you go your way and I go mine. We have nothing to do with each other."

They are just nephews in the same family, so there is no deep affection between them.

Never mind, he was shortsighted. From now on, he will just regard it as his destiny to be childless and live alone until old age.

"That won't work." Zhao Xiao crawled to Butler Zhao, hugged his legs with difficulty and said, "Dad, we are in the family tree, and I only recognize you as my father."

What a joke! If he loses even the support of Butler Zhao, he will have no hope at all.

However, Butler Zhao was determined not to acknowledge this adopted son. He kicked him away and said viciously, "If it can be recorded in the family tree, it can be deleted. I will delete it now."

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Yin and walked out. It seemed that he was indeed going to change the family tree.

Jiang Yin nodded slightly to show his support.

What Butler Zhao did made her feel much better, but it was definitely not as good as before.

After all, he has been a housekeeper for so many years and he is not stupid. If he insists on protecting Zhao Xiao, then his stay in the Jiang family will come to an end.

"Dad, Dad, you can't do this to me, Dad." Zhao Xiao shouted as he climbed out, "Dad, you are my dad!"

However, before he could crawl to the door, he was stepped on by Wang Heng and waited for Jiang Yin to decide his fate.

Zhao Xiao struggled and said, "Let me go. I want to find my father."

He must hold on to this last straw.

Wang Heng put more force on his feet and said coldly, "Behave yourself!"

Zhao Xiao groaned, still mumbling: "Dad, I want to find my dad."

Jiang Yin sneered and said, "Alright, stop shouting, everyone has gone far away.

Don't blame Grandpa Zhao for being cruel. After all, you have only been adopted as his son for a short time. Compared to the Jiang family, you are nothing."

Everyone would weigh the pros and cons, but Butler Zhao has poured so much affection into this adopted son that some people just can't accept it.

Hearing her words, Wang Heng couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

Jiang Yin didn't look at him. He just said an obscene word. What's the big deal?

Xiao Luo echoed: "That's right, if you do bad things, your father won't want you anymore."

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. It was true that his father didn't want him anymore.

Zhao Xiao collapsed on the ground, his eyes dull as he asked, "What can I do to get you to let me go, young lady?"

He was an abandoned person, which was normal. Compared with Jiang family who had worked for them for a lifetime, he was nothing as an adopted son for only a month or so.

"Zhao Xiao, you are a newly adopted son, but you have ruined Grandpa Zhao's innocence. You are guilty, and you have no right to hate. You have let Grandpa Zhao down, and if anyone should hate, it should be Grandpa Zhao who hates you." Jiang Yin said calmly, "But you are not without a chance to make amends. Now the opportunity is in front of you, it depends on how you choose."

Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Young lady, feel free to ask anything you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

He is just a slave, without any backing, and his life and death depend on Jiang Yin's thoughts.

He is afraid of death and doesn't want to die like this.

"He who knows the current situation is a hero." Jiang Yin raised his chin and said, "Where is the tea merchant who bought tea from you now? What is his name and what does he look like?"

She paused and continued, "If I can find the person, I will let you go."

She is now the boss of Jiang Corporation and she is fully qualified to decide everything.

She was negotiating with Zhao Xiao, asking him to find the tea merchant. Only by finding the man first could she find out the source of the new tea.

"Really?" Zhao Xiao asked, tilting his head.

He didn't quite believe that Jiang Yin would let him go.

Jiang Yin waved his hand to let Wang Heng withdraw his feet, and then said: "Seriously, but you can't lie to me. You can't afford the price of lying to me."

If anyone dared to lie to her, she wouldn't mind taking Zhao Xiao's life.

Zhao Xiao moved to his feet and leaned against the railing. He pondered for a moment before looking up and saying, "The tea merchant's surname is Wu. He is from Yangzhou and is very fat. As for what he bought Mengshan tea for, I don't know."

"He came to find you on his own initiative?" Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked, "When did he find you? Is the disappearance of Manager Cao related to you?"

She was a little surprised. Did the merchant from Yangzhou come all the way here and take such a big risk to buy her old tea for his own selfish interests?

If you want to travel the ancient Tea-Horse Road and do some big business, this amount of tea is totally not enough.

Zhao Xiao raised his eyes and said, "Manager Cao knows about this. This was someone who took the initiative to find me before he disappeared. Manager Cao is unwilling to take such a big deal, so I will take it."

Jiang Yin's eyes became stern: "Is the disappearance of Manager Cao related to you?"

Wang Heng on the side was also ready to make a move, ready to fight Zhao Xiao at any time.

Frightened, Zhao Xiao quickly explained: "No, no, no, Manager Cao's disappearance has nothing to do with me. As for whether it has anything to do with Boss Wu, I don't know. But as far as I know, they are not enemies."

"Really?" Jiang Yin looked doubtful. "How do you know they are not enemies?"

Zhao Xiao pursed his lips and said, "I've seen Manager Cao drinking with him."

"Oh?" Jiang Yin took a deep breath and said, "Tell me in detail."

Jiang Yin interrogated Zhao Xiao for an hour and basically dug out everything he knew.

According to Zhao Xiao, Boss Wu came to Yazhou mainly to resell tea, and wanted to buy Ru Niangzi by the way.

Ru Niangzi was originally from Yangzhou, and when she was in Yangzhou, she was deeply loved by Boss Wu.

Now that Mrs. Ru has come to Yazhou, Boss Wu is also here for a visit on the pretext of business.

Therefore, if Boss Wu has not left Yazhou yet, he is probably with Madam Ru.

As for the new tea in the warehouse, it was also exchanged by Boss Wu.

But what Zhao Xiao had told Butler Zhao before, Boss Wu, had already run away. This was a lie to Butler Zhao.

After all, he secretly embezzled so much money and gambled it all away. He was afraid that they would find Boss Wu and formally convict him of the crime.

Jiang Yin was speechless about this. After a round, all the money was gone and the person was almost gone.

As for the disappearance of Manager Cao, she also got another clue from Zhao Xiao. Before Manager Cao disappeared, he not only drank with Boss Wu, but Hu Quan also went to look for him.

Thinking about what happened today, Jiang Yin's face changed. She thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly picked up the hem of her skirt and ran out.

Xiao Luo quickly followed her footsteps and couldn't help asking, "Madam, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the government office!" Jiang Yin whispered as he ran, "I suspect that Manager Cao was imprisoned by the Hu family. If that's the case, we've made Hu Quan lose face today, and he will definitely not let it go, and will take it out on Manager Cao first."

Therefore, before Li Ji arrived, she had to go to the yamen first and ask the people there to help check on the Hu family.
