Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin felt like she was like an old nanny, having to take care of the emotions of Butler Zhao and Steward Cao.

These two people are now considered to be brothers in distress, and they get together from time to time to complain about themselves.

However, for now, they are still loyal to the Jiang family.

Anyway, there is nothing particularly important happening in Yazhou. Even if they really have some ulterior motives, they won’t cause any waves.

So she simply stopped being on guard and stopped spending too much time thinking about it.

After comforting Butler Zhao and Steward Cao and instructing them on what to do next, Jiang Yin packed his luggage and prepared to return to Mengshan.

In addition, she also asked Butler Zhao to pay attention to the situation in the government office and send a message to her if there was any news about Hu Quan.

After all, she went back to Mengshan this time and probably wouldn't come to Yazhou again in the short term.

Hu Quan was responsible for the disappearance of Manager Cao. No matter what, the government office should give an explanation.

The carriage swayed out of Yazhou City. Although Jiang Yin guessed that there would be assassinations on the road, he did not expect that there would be so many assassins.

At a quick glance, there were at least twenty people.

This was on the official road, and they were blatantly robbing people. They were really not afraid of the people from the government coming to arrest them.

The carriage was surrounded. Jiang Yin looked solemn, then he calmed himself down, lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's make a deal. How much money the other party gives you, I will give you double, can you go and assassinate the other party?"

If they were hiring a killer, they might agree to it for the sake of profit, but if they were hired assassins, they might not agree no matter how much money they offered.

But how could an ordinary family have so many assassins? Even if there were, most of them were killed in the previous assassination.

Therefore, she guessed that these people were not assassins, but assassins hired by Hu Quan.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, some of the assassins began to relax.

Maybe there are both hired killers and the other side’s own people among them.

Seeing that some people were beginning to be tempted, before the others could finish thinking, someone rushed up with a knife.

Jiang Yin sneered, then shouted loudly: "Spare the life of the killer brother, kill the others!"

Do you really think she came out at this time without any preparation?

The assassination plan was clearly written on the wall. If it wasn't carried out in Yazhou City, it would naturally be carried out on the road.

After all, once you return to the old house, the difficulty of a successful assassination will double.

Therefore, in addition to the secret guards who followed him secretly, Jiang Yin also brought most of the guards from Yazhou Prefecture.

At this moment, they came out from the darkness and began to slaughter the assassin unilaterally.

Of course, it was also because those professional killers suddenly wanted to turn against them that they were able to carry out a unilateral massacre.

Not many people were killed, only six.

The professional killer was not serious about pretending and had never thought of fighting to the death. This was also a sign of sincerity specifically for Jiang Yin.

After Hu Quan's men were eliminated, the people brought by Jiang Yin did not hide, but surrounded the carriage tightly and stood face to face with the remaining killers.

Jiang Yin had just gotten out of the carriage and stood on the edge when one of the killers walked towards her.

He was conscious and stopped ten steps away from the carriage. He then bowed respectfully to Jiang Yin and said, "Please forgive me, Miss Jiang. We don't want to make enemies with you, but others have given us too much and we are too poor. We have no choice.

If Miss Jiang is willing to cooperate, why don't we put aside our hostility and have a good talk?"

"Too poor?" Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly, "How can you be short of money in this line of work?"

Who would be willing to do such a dangerous job as a killer if it weren't for the high pay?

She looked at the killer in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.

Although their job as killers is basically to earn money but not spend it, they do have money.

However, the killer's body froze slightly, and then he quickly explained: "We really have no money. To be honest, this is the first order we brothers have taken. Although we really don't want to be enemies with Miss Jiang, we have no choice but to come for survival."

In order to make himself appear more sincere, he continued to explain: "We originally planned to try not to hurt Miss Jiang during the assassination, but we didn't expect Miss Jiang to have already thought about cooperating."

Jiang Yin: ???

Guess why it's called assassination.

Swords and knives have no eyes, can they really try their best to avoid causing harm?

However, Jiang Yin did not expect that the assassin this time was so different.

But she still wondered, "Which organization are you from? Are you not in the same group as the ones who came to assassinate me before?"

Those who came to assassinate her in the past were ruthless and didn't talk much. They just came and attacked directly. They would never listen to her words.

The killer nodded and said, "No, of course not. This is really the first time we have accepted an order."

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yin, trying his best to appear sincere.

Jiang Yin looked through those slightly clear eyes and finally chose to believe his words temporarily.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she believes it or not. After all, she will not allow these assassins to become her own people.

She negotiated a deal with the killer representative and asked them to return to assassinate Hu Quan.

They were also asked to help find people who could use hammers or weapons that could dig holes.

This clue is very important as it involves the murderer who killed his parents.

She had never found anyone using this kind of weapon before, but this time, maybe she could really look for these people in the killer circle.

As for the price, she really gave Hu Quan twice as much, a total of fifty taels of silver.

In other words, Hu Quan only spent twenty-five taels of silver to hire someone to kill her.

Jiang Yin felt complicated. He didn't expect that his life was so worthless.

I don't know why these killers would risk their lives to take this little money. A group of grown men can support themselves by doing some hard labor.

I don’t know for what purpose, but Jiang Yin also specifically reminded me to be careful.

Only after she saw the last man in black disappear before her eyes did she come to her senses and turned back to the carriage.

"Madam, madam, look, is that Mr. Li over there?" Xiao Luo lifted the curtain on the other side of the car and hurriedly called Jiang Yin to look out.

Jiang Yin frowned slightly and looked out the car window. As expected, who else could it be but Li Ji?

Just like when I first saw him when I came to Yazhou from Chengdu, he was standing not far away on horseback, holding a bow and arrow, and behind him, there were still a few of his men.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, Li Ji looked over and nodded slightly at her.

Jiang Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded subconsciously. Then he sat up straight and stopped looking outside.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, she even began to think that so many encounters were not coincidences, but Li Ji's deliberate act.

Xiao Luo asked, "Madam, why do I feel like I can meet Mr. Li everywhere? If the assassination continues, will Mr. Li save our lives again?"
