Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin put away the Leiqin and prepared to go out to find Ru Niangzi. But before he left the house, he saw Li Ji bringing people to the mansion again.

The guards who came with him were carrying a bloody person. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Manager Cao.

"Is this Manager Cao?" Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at Li Ji in disbelief.

No one knew what Li Ji did, but after just one hour, he brought the bruised and battered Manager Cao to the Jiang Mansion with his men.

Li Ji raised his chin and said, "Shouldn't I ask you about your family's stewardship?"

Jiang Yin choked and then turned his gaze to Manager Cao.

Seeing Jiang Yin, Manager Cao started to cry: "My dear, I finally see you!"

Jiang Yin opened his mouth and was about to say something when Manager Cao fainted from excitement.

Jiang Yin: ...

She quickly asked Butler Zhao, who had just returned from revising the family tree, to ask Doctor Ge to come and take a look at Butler Cao.

As for Li Ji, he was invited to the lobby to have some tea first.

The first thing Dr. Ge said when he arrived was, "Wow, you really found the person. That's great, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor Ge, please stop teasing me. Please help Manager Cao to see if he is seriously injured."

Manager Cao's body was covered in blood and flesh, but Doctor Ge didn't say anything else. Instead, he started to take his pulse.

After a long while, he said slowly, "It's nothing serious, just some superficial injuries. He was too frightened and weak, so he fainted.

Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I'll prescribe some medicine and he'll be fine in two days."

Jiang Yin finally felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Doctor Ge."

After writing the prescription and sending someone back with Doctor Ge to get the medicine, she turned around and went to the lobby, where Li Ji was waiting for her with a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Jiang Yin bowed to Li Ji as soon as he entered the room and expressed his gratitude solemnly.

In addition, she handed Li Ji a small box containing gold and silver as a token of her gratitude.

After all, she had just asked Li Ji to help check the Hu family to see if there was any trace of Cao Guanshi. After a while, Li Ji rescued the person.

Although he was half dead, at least he was rescued.

If it weren't for Li Ji, Manager Cao might have even lost his life.

"Miss Jiang, you are welcome." Li Ji did not refuse her small box, but took it and raised his hand to invite her to sit down, and asked, "How is the injury of Manager Cao? Is it possible that he can survive?"

In fact, he could tell at a glance that Manager Cao's injury was just a superficial wound.

Jiang Yin nodded and said, "The doctor said it was just a minor injury and it will heal after a while of recuperation."

She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did Mr. Li find him in the Hu Mansion next door? What did the Hu family say?"

If it was really someone who was robbed from the Hu family, a fierce battle was inevitable.

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "We found him in the basement of Hu's house. My people explored the way first. After we confirmed where he was and the evidence was solid, I asked my people to bring the people from the government office to rescue him.

As for Hu Quan, he has been temporarily detained in the prison. I guess he won't be able to get out in a short time. He can't arrange the assassination tonight either."

If he didn't want to show up, he would have taken the people there himself.

Jiang Yin bowed to him and thanked him again, then asked, "In your opinion, Mr. Li, how long will he be imprisoned?"

The law has always been used to constrain certain people. She didn't think someone like Hu Quan could be locked up for too long.

First, Hu Quan was rich, and second, the tea harvest was about to begin, and the Hu family still had a mountain of tea that needed to be sold to the government. No matter how you looked at it, you knew it wouldn't last long.

Li Ji took a sip of tea and said, "No matter if it takes two or three days or longer, we can teach him a lesson. I will be careful about what I say and do in the short term and will not cause you any trouble. It will also be easier for me to investigate."

He paused and continued, "But don't worry, Miss Jiang. I will send people over tonight as planned. If there are any unusual movements, they will never return."

Jiang Yin understood and thanked Li Ji again.

Li Ji had his own things to investigate, so he couldn't possibly give in to her and just use his power to sentence Hu Quan to a heavy sentence.

However, she would restrain him for as long as she could. When he came out, she would bring Manager Cao to settle the account.

After seeing Li Ji off, Jiang Yin changed into men's clothes and went to Zui Chunfeng with Lei Qin and Xiao Luo.

As soon as she entered the door, the madam recognized her at a glance.

But seeing her dressed like a man, the madam said, "Oh, young master Jiang, you are a rare guest. We haven't seen you for a long time, and our lady misses you day and night."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the violin case in Jiang Yin's arms.

Seeing the Leiqin logo, the madam's eyes lit up and she reached out to take it: "Hey, Leiqin!"

"Hey~" Jiang Yin took a step sideways while holding the zither, avoiding the madam's hand, and then knocked on the madam's hand with the fan in his hand, saying, "I brought this specially for Madam Ru."

"Have you ever heard the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin?" She raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll leave it with Madam Ru for safekeeping first. When I have time to listen to music, I'll come to find Madam Ru again."

Last time she had discovered that this old brothel owner was a snobbish person. If she knew that the Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin was given to Lady Ru, there was no telling what she would get from Lady Ru.

"Jiuxiao Huanpei Qin?" The old procuress's eyes were filled with greed, but when she thought that the qin was only given to Ru Niangzi temporarily, she forced her eyes away.

In a blink of an eye, the madam's face was full of smiles again, and she said, "Young Master Jiang, please come in. Madam Ru is upstairs, and there is no one inside."

"Thank you." Jiang Yin nodded slightly and strode upstairs.

Xiao Luo, who was following behind him, took out a coin and handed it to the madam, saying, "This is a reward from my husband."

The madam quickly took it, praising him: "Oh, young master Jiang is still generous."

You have to be from a noble family, and you can spend a lot of money at will.

Jiang Yin ignored the noisy environment around him and walked towards Ru Niangzi's room without looking around.

But at the door he met Shen Fugui who had just come out of the next room.

When he met Jiang Yin, Shen Fugui paused for a moment while adjusting his belt. He then scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "What are you doing here? Why are you dressed like this?"

He coughed twice, his eyes wandering around, not daring to look at Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said unhappily: "Why, you opened this place, so I can't come?"

Looking at his expression, you can tell that he has just finished something. There is nothing to hide about that kind of thing.

Come to think of it, wasn't Shen Fugui pestering Ru Niangzi, so why was he still having fun next door to Ru Niangzi?

She glanced up and down at Shen Fugui with some disgust.

Shen Fugui blushed and said, "I, I just drank too much. If you want to play, you can play here with Ru Niangzi, but you can't go anywhere else."

With Jiang Yin looking like this, there might be people here who mistake him for Xiao Wan, which is dangerous.

Jiang Yin rolled his eyes at him, walked around him and went straight to Ru Niangzi's room.

It's her freedom to go wherever she wants. It's Shen Fugui's turn to control her.
