Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Mrs. Feng was good at martial arts and was often injured in her early years, so she knew how to do something as simple as bandaging.

She was about to bandage Jiang Yin, but Jiang Yin raised his hand to stop her and said, "Aunt, please bandage Xiao Luo first. She was hit by two swords and her injuries are serious."

Xiao Luo was not only hit by two swords, but also kicked several times. She had internal and external injuries, which were much more serious than hers.

Xiao Luo quickly waved her hands and refused: "My lady, I'm fine, I can hold on, let me bandage you first."

As a slave, how could she watch her master get injured and wait for her to treat him first? This was against the rules, and she couldn't do that.

"It's already this late, why are you still talking about this?" Jiang Yin reached out and pushed Xiao Luo down to sit on the stool. "You have to get better soon so that you can continue to take care of me."

She tilted her head towards Madam Feng and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Under Jiang Yin's repeated instructions, Xiao Luo had no choice but to accept this arrangement.

At the same time, Aunt Fu brought up the boiled medicine, one bowl each for her and Xiao Luo.

Fortunately, she insisted on applying the medicine to Xiao Luo first. After she drank the medicine, Xiao Luo couldn't help but fainted halfway through the application.

Jiang Yin hurriedly called a doctor to see him, but the doctor said that there was no serious problem, just overwork and that he would be fine after a good night's sleep.

Jiang Yin then breathed a sigh of relief and asked Aunt Fu to help Xiao Luo go to the ear room to sleep.

After that, she took off her clothes and asked Aunt Feng to help her apply the medicine.

Mrs. Feng looked at the wound on her shoulder and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Ah Yin, promise your aunt that next time you encounter this kind of situation, run away first and save your life first." She said as she applied medicine to Jiang Yin, "Nothing else matters. Aunt just hopes that you can live a peaceful life."

Originally, seeing that Jiang Yin managed Jiang's company in an orderly manner, she had already supported Jiang Yin.

But she underestimated the profits brought by the tea-horse trade. With such huge profits, not only other aristocratic families in Mengshan were eyeing it, but even those people in Tokyo wanted to get involved.

In today's situation, it is no longer enough to just be able to manage tea mountain affairs, one also needs power.

So many assassinations and this blatant robbery all indicate that this matter will not stop.

If the tea-horse trade had not been transferred here and the tea monopoly system had not been implemented, she would have tried her best to help Jiang Yin strengthen the Jiang family.

But now, she would rather Jiang Yin give up and live a peaceful and stable life.

Jiang Yin raised her hand and gently patted Aunt Feng's hand, comforting her: "Don't worry, Aunt, after what happened today, I believe there will be no more problems for a long time.

As long as I can deliver this year's tea safely, I can free myself to do other things."

Not only does she have to go to Huangshan in Huizhou, but she also has to continue investigating the cause of her parents' death.

After so long, she still hasn't found any clues related to her parents' death.

Mrs. Feng sighed and said, "You are just like your mother, both of you are stubborn. Once you make up your mind, no one can change it."

She bandaged the wound and tied a knot, saying helplessly: "Forget it, you should have a good rest first, and we can talk about it tomorrow. You and Xiao Luo may have a fever tonight, I'll be next door, call me if you have any problems."

She sighed in her heart. This matter could not be explained in a short time. For now, she could only take it one step at a time.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "Aunt Youfu is here, so you can just sleep well."

It would be dawn in just over an hour, and Aunt Feng, who hadn't slept all night, also needed to rest.

The old house is mainly engaged in tea cultivation, and the people employed in the mansion are all capable of working, and there are no other maids.

Jiang Yin planned to send a message to Uncle Wang tomorrow to transfer some people from the provincial capital.

Mrs. Feng did not comment, but went back to her room to sleep and planned to come back to check later.

After Aunt Feng left, Jiang Yin lay in bed, unable to sleep.

What happened on the tea mountain, what impressed her most was that she killed someone with her own hands, rather than the warmth of Li Ji's arms around her.

Thinking that his hands were stained with human blood, Jiang Yin's hands trembled and he felt a little uncomfortable.

She simply got up and went to the yard, scooped up water several times with her hands, and carefully washed her hands which had already turned white from washing.

After washing many times, she raised her hand and smelled it, and still smelled blood.

So she found a new piece of soap and continued to scrub her hands, which she had washed for who knows how many times.

She became more and more annoyed as she washed, until a large hand grabbed her wrist and stopped her from rubbing her hands.

Jiang Yin was startled by the sudden attack. She subconsciously wanted to hit back, but found that it was Li Ji.

At this moment he did not cover his face, but was dressed as usual, but he did not look very happy.

"It's Mr. Li." Jiang Yin freed his wrist, bowed, and whispered, "Why did Mr. Li come to visit so late at night? Did something happen at the Tea and Horse Bureau?"

Apart from this, she couldn't think of why Li Ji came to her yard at this time.

She glanced at Aunt Feng's room and was relieved to see that she was not disturbed.

Li Ji frowned and said, "Why are you washing your hands here in the middle of the night?"

There are many accidents today and it is not safe.

In fact, he never left, but followed Jiang Yin secretly and protected her at the same time.

Just now he thought Jiang Yin would sleep after bandaging her wound, and he planned to leave after she fell asleep. Unexpectedly, she came to the yard to wash her hands not long after she lay down.

She poured basin after basin of water for washing her hands and even used up a piece of soap, but she still didn't stop.

Worried that if she continued like this, her hands would be badly damaged, he showed up to stop her.

Jiang Yin hid his pale hands behind his back, coughed lightly, and said awkwardly, "It's my first time killing someone, I'm not used to it."

The boiling blood still lingered in her memory. She always felt that there was blood on her hands and she could never wash it clean.

Li Ji's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he pursed his lips and said, "Miss Jiang, you can practice martial arts more. You will have many opportunities to kill people in the future."

It is not so easy for her to protect the Jiang family. When some people are desperate, it is possible that the whole family will be wiped out.

Jiang Yin: ...Killing me would mean the extermination of my entire family.

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a complicated expression: "Thank you for reminding me."

Her fear was obvious, but this man asked her to continue killing people next time. I don't know if he was pretending to be stupid or if he was really stupid.

Li Ji nodded seriously and said, "Well, I will send some more people to protect you and Jiang's tea mountain tomorrow. Don't worry, something like today will not happen again."

Thinking of the people he had just seen on the tea mountain, his eyes narrowed slightly. These people really couldn't wait.

He has not found evidence for other things, but regarding what happened tonight, he will send someone to report the situation back to Tokyo as quickly as possible and hand it over to the authorities.

Given the importance of Mengshan tea and the tea-horse trade, I believe the government will not sit idly by.
