Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

The man in brocade robe is surnamed Li. If nothing unexpected happens, he must be a member of the royal family.

In her previous life, she knew that there was a prince who was involved in the illegal salt trafficking. After being found out by Li Ji, she tried every means to embarrass Li Ji, and the assassination attempt failed several times.

When the emperor learned about this, he was furious, but he was reluctant to execute the prince because he was his own child. So he demoted the prince to a commoner and exiled him together.

Of course, letting the prince go does not mean letting his mother go. The emperor ordered his mother to be executed with a piece of white silk.

Moreover, his relatives' family were also raided, some were killed, some were exiled.

Jiang Yin sighed in his heart. It was a miserable end. However, it was what he deserved.

Logically speaking, Li Ji was at the scene that night and must have seen the prince who was parading in public.

As expected, Li Ji lowered his eyes and said, "I know who that person is, but I don't have enough evidence now, so I can't take action."

In fact, he was looking in the wrong direction.

He had been looking in the direction of Mengshan tea, but now it seemed that he should look in the direction of trafficking in contraband salt.

But there is no need to tell Jiang Yin about this, he can handle it on his own.

This matter needed to be dealt with as soon as possible, so Li Ji immediately stood up and said goodbye, leaving the Tea and Horse Department, leaving Yan Li and Jiang Yin staring at each other in bewilderment.

Jiang Yin coughed lightly and quickly stood up to say goodbye.

Finally, Yan Li remembered and said, "The tea in the Royal Tea Garden will be picked in a few days. In the past, your mother helped to stir-fry the tea. I wonder what your plans are this year?"

Once the tea from the Imperial Tea Garden is roasted, it must be sent to Tokyo as quickly as possible.

In order to make tea every year, in addition to the monks from Zhiju Temple, the Jiang family also needs to provide a craftsman with superb tea-frying skills.

Jiang Yin's mother was an excellent craftsman. She had done it herself in the past few years, so he was very relieved.

But it’s not possible this year. Jiang Yin’s mother died unexpectedly, so someone else has to take her place.

Hearing this, before Jiang Yin could speak, Yan Li continued, "I heard that there is an aunt in your family who is also very skilled in tea-frying. She is now in Mengshan. I wonder if we can ask her to help?"

As for that aunt, he didn’t dare to invite her himself, so he had to ask Jiang Yin to go.

"Are you talking about Aunt Feng?" Jiang Yin said with a tense face and pursed lips, "To be honest, my aunt and mother taught me the skill of tea frying. If possible, can I do it?"

This is what she should do as the head of the Jiang family. How can she let others do it? Even Aunt Feng can't do it.

It’s not that he was worried that Aunt Feng would steal the credit, but he was worried that once Aunt Feng got involved, she would never be able to get rid of it.

She didn't want Aunt Feng to be bound by this. If that was the case, she, the head of the Jiang family, could do it.

Yan Li could tell that she was rejecting him. If it was someone else, he could force them to come. But he didn't dare to do that.

However, he had also heard about Miss Jiang's skills, so he thought there wouldn't be any big problems.

At worst, you can try something else before frying the tea from the Imperial Tea Garden.

After thinking this through, he quickly bowed and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yin quickly moved aside to avoid his salute, then immediately returned the salute and said, "You are too kind. This is what I should do."

After saying that, she said goodbye to Yan Li and took a carriage back to the old house.

As for Yan Li, he naturally continued to clean up the mess that had just been left behind.

After all, someone died before the trial even started. The person who died was Doctor Shu from one of the other three families in Mengshan. It was really hard to explain this matter.

Let’s not talk about what happened to Yan Li for now, let’s just say that Jiang Yin just returned to the old house and ran into Shen Fugui.

Shen Fugui was unable to enter the mansion and could only wait for her to come back at the door.

Seeing her carriage, Shen Fugui's eyes lit up and he ran forward: "Miss Jiang, you kept me waiting for a long time."

He excitedly reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage, but Yan Ge'er raised his hand to stop him.

"Mr. Shen, please respect yourself!"

Yan Ge'er emphasized the word "self-respect" very seriously, and deliberately reminded Shen Fugui that there are differences between men and women and he should not overstep the line.

He glared at Shen Fugui, thinking that this man really had no rules and dared to do anything.

However, Shen Fugui was not someone who could understand what people were saying. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Go away, don't block me. Your wife and I are friends."

He thought he had a good relationship with Jiang Yin and had helped Jiang Yin out of trouble several times, so this little thing didn't matter to him.

He was about to reach out to lift the curtain, but he saw Xiao Luo inside lift the curtain, standing on the edge of the car, staring down at Shen Fugui, gritting his teeth and saying, "Young Master Shen, be careful with your words, when did my wife have anything to do with you!"

This good young man has a pig's brain. The Shen family and the Jiang family are obviously in a big fight, but he still has the nerve to come to his wife.

Shen Fugui's face was slightly stiff, but when he saw Jiang Yin coming out of the carriage, he smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, you finally came out. How is your injury? I brought some medicine from Tokyo. You can try it."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yin carefully. It looked like it was indeed a treasure.

"Who wants your medicine?" Xiao Luo waved her hand and knocked the bottle to the ground, saying viciously, "Stop pretending here. What were you doing when your family sent someone to assassinate my wife? Who knows if your medicine is poison or not?"

Just give me a slap and a candy, and you expect my wife to forgive you? Dream on!

Besides, for a family as despicable and shameless as the Shen family, who can guarantee that there is medicine in it?

Looking at the medicine bottle rolling on the ground, Shen Fugui clenched his fists slightly, and then as if he was relieved, he frowned, picked up the medicine bottle and wiped it carefully.

I thought he was going to get angry or turn away, but unexpectedly he insisted on handing the bottle of medicine to Jiang Yin and said, "It's not broken, does Miss Jiang need it? This medicine is very effective, I've tried it."

He looked at Jiang Yin with sincere and complicated eyes, as if he really had no other intentions and was just here to deliver medicine.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Luo opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She could only quietly step aside and protect her wife.

Jiang Yin stared at Shen Fugui for a long time before pursing her lips and said, "Young Master Shen, please go back. I'm afraid I can't accept this kindness. By the way, since you sent me the medicine, I'll tell you a piece of news."

She paused and continued, "Just now an assassin entered the Tea and Horse Department, and Doctor Qi was shot dead in the cell. You should leave now. The murderer might want to silence the witnesses. Who will be the next one? I don't know."

If that person really wanted to kill people to silence them, they, the Mengshan family, would have no ability to resist.

After all, that man and the people around him were trained with the full strength of the Song Dynasty.

She sneered in her heart, the entire Song Dynasty actually cultivated such a person, it was really going backwards.

"What?" Shen Fugui's body swayed slightly, his face turned pale, and he confirmed again and again, "You said Doctor Qi died just now?"

Doctor Shu is hard to find, and he knows how important Doctor Qi is.
