Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

The cause and effect that Manager Cao described was extremely simple, but the people from the Jiang family and the government office searched outside for more than half a month and found no clues.

This is not normal, no wonder Xiao Luo feels there is something wrong.

Xiao Luo nodded and frowned, "But looking at the injuries on Manager Cao's body, they don't look fake."

She looked conflicted. If Manager Cao was really lying, why would he make himself so exhausted and covered in injuries?

Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, then waved his hand and said indifferently: "Whether it is true or not, there is no way to confirm it right now, but at least the person is back."

She paused and continued, "Besides, sometimes the truth is really that simple, without so many twists and turns."

Doing the opposite is a good strategy that is so simple that it is unbelievable.

The matter came to a temporary end, and Jiang Yin sent Xiao Luo to the yamen to inquire about Hu Quan's news.

Hu Quan was put in jail yesterday, so something must be done today.

After arranging everything, she went to the study, ready to find some books about Huangshan Mountain in Huizhou to read carefully, and by the way, see if there is any record about Huangshan Maofeng.

No matter what the conversation with Boss Wu had tonight, she must go to Huangshan in Huizhou.

This is related to the future development of the Jiang family. After successfully picking tea, she will set off for Yazhou.

But Yazhou is far away, and it may take more than a month to return.

If the situation there is very good, more deployments will need to be made, and it will take more than a month to complete.

Let her make a plan first. After the plan is made, we will decide who to send first to understand the situation.

This way, when she arrives in Huangshan, there will be someone to pick her up and she will have peace of mind.

Jiang Yin stayed in the study for a whole day. During this time, Xiao Luo came back, but no news came from the government office.

Until Xiao Luo came back again in the evening, there was still no definite news.

In other words, Hu Quan has not found a solution yet, let alone redeemed himself.

Jiang Yin was a little surprised by the news, but then he thought that Hu Quan would not be able to get out without losing a lot of skin. After all, it was Li Ji who sent him there.

Manager Cao was only injured, he did not lose his life, so it is unrealistic to use this incident to bring down the Hu family.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to come out for a while, Jiang Yin ignored him and prepared to change clothes and go enjoy the spring breeze.

Before night fell, Li Ji came to the house to pick her up as he had said in the morning.

The low-key carriage is just like Li Ji.

He was wearing a black robe and sitting upright in the carriage.

Jiang Yin hesitated in front of the carriage for a moment, and just when he was about to ask someone to drive the carriage over, Li Ji invited him to get in.

She was fidgeting in the carriage and was not very willing to share a carriage with Li Ji.

Li Ji noticed her discomfort and said calmly, "Why, am I that scary?"

He pursed his lips slightly. He was unsure before, but now he was sure that Jiang Yin was afraid of him and was still avoiding him.

He thought back to his previous behavior and thought that he had done nothing wrong except when he caught the assassin.

Jiang Yin froze, then raised his hand and said awkwardly, "No, I just think that at this distance, there's no need to bother Mr. Li."

There is no need to take a carriage. However, she swallowed the last sentence.

It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the mansion to Zui Chun Feng. She didn't expect Li Ji to come in a carriage, and she really didn't know what to say.

Li Ji said calmly: "I think Miss Jiang doesn't want to be watched by others. If she encounters a difficult person on the road, it will delay Miss Jiang's good deeds."

Jiang Yin is now a walking target, and everyone wants to touch him. Besides, he is also a walking target.

hiss~

Jiang Yin was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Li Ji actually had a talent for being sharp-tongued.

"I don't want to, I don't want to." Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes and smiled, without saying anything else.

The quiet atmosphere in the carriage made Li Ji and Jiang Yin feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, they arrived at the entrance of Zui Chunfeng.

Li Ji got off the carriage first. Just as he was about to turn around to help Jiang Yin, he saw Jiang Yin lift up her skirt and jump directly out of the carriage.

His eyelids twitched slightly, and he withdrew his hand calmly.

Jiang Yin also pretended not to see it. She didn't want Li Ji to help her.

Today she was still dressed as a man, and Li Ji was traveling with her, so she didn't bring Xiao Luo with her.

It was only evening, but Zui Chun Feng was already crowded and lively.

The madam standing at the door welcoming guests saw Jiang Yin coming, her eyes lit up, and she quickly waved her handkerchief and greeted him, "Oh, young master Jiang is here, please come upstairs quickly, the private room has been reserved for you."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Ji and couldn't help but ask, "This gentleman is so handsome, is he with Young Master Jiang?"

At first glance, it was clear that this was someone whom he could not afford to offend, but he was also a wealthy man.

She only came with Miss Jiang, so she didn't dare to greet him casually.

Jiang Yin casually threw a coin to the madam, then tapped the folding fan in his hand and said, "Yes, please arrange two girls to serve them well. If they serve well, this money will be indispensable."

With someone serving Li Ji, she could also take some time to talk about her own affairs.

"No problem." The madam took the money with a smile and said flatteringly, "I'll arrange it right away."

Li Ji's face darkened and he said coldly, "No need!"

"Ah?" The madam paused and turned her head to look at Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin didn't expect Li Ji to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let's go in first?"

Li Ji still had a sullen look on his face. The madam rolled her eyes and quickly covered her lips with a smile to smooth things over: "Yes, yes, yes, the two young masters please go upstairs first. In case there are too many people downstairs and disturb you two."

Jiang Yin raised her eyebrows, gave the madam an affirmative look, and then threw another coin to her: "Reward!"

The madam, who received the money, smiled and personally helped lead the way, taking them to the best private room on the second floor.

This was something Jiang Yin had arranged a long time ago, also to show his support for Lady Ru.

After the madam closed the door and left, Li Ji curled his lips and said, "Ms. Jiang is so generous that she gave me two strings of cash as soon as I entered the house."

The tea merchants are truly well-off and spend money without blinking an eye, so it's no wonder those people in Tokyo are eyeing this piece of fat meat.

You know, one guan of money was enough for ordinary people to have a sumptuous meal. Even the monthly salary of a county magistrate was less than 100 guan.

Tokyo was a prosperous city, and most wealthy families used silver. However, silver production was low, and there were not many wealthy people. Therefore, it was not popularized here.

Therefore, copper coins are still used in these places.

He glanced at Jiang Yin's sleeve, wondering if it was heavy to carry so much money.

Jiang Yin touched his nose and smiled, "Life is all about eating and drinking. We have to spend money. Happiness is more valuable than money, isn't it?"

She picked up the tea set on the table and started grinding the tea powder, preparing to perform a tea show for Li Ji before the rest began.

The tea she used was the Huangshan Maofeng tea sent by her wife.

Li Ji did not comment or say much, but leaned back in his chair and watched Jiang Yin perform the tea art quietly.
