Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Speaking of Zhang clan members and Zhang Yang, Zhang Yuanzhi fell silent. But soon, he was full of confidence again.

The rebels were able to break through the city gates back then, and they can do so now.

Without mentioning anything else, just say that if they occupied Chengdu Prefecture or Yazhou City, the rebel army could establish themselves as kings and no longer be controlled by the government.

From the murky look in his eyes, Jiang Yin knew what evil plan he was up to again.

Jiang Yin lowered his voice and said in a cold tone: "Second uncle, do you think the cavalry of our Song Dynasty are freeloaders? With just that few rebels, there is no need for the government to send more people. The governor of Yazhou alone can wipe them out."

No matter how arrogant the rebels are, they are nothing but rats hiding in the sewers.

If they were to engage in a head-on fight, the soldiers under the prefect's command alone would be enough to beat them into a pulp.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanzhi glared at her, then closed his eyes and didn't want to look at them.

But he was thinking in his heart, it’s just the Iron Cavalry. Once they get the Mengshan tea, they can also go to Tubo to exchange for war horses!

Jiang Yin sneered, straightened her dress and sat up straight, also not wanting to pay any attention to Zhang Yuanzhi.

The old house was not far from the Tea and Horse Bureau. After a short while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Tea and Horse Bureau.

Fortunately, Yan Li returned to the Tea and Horse Bureau this time. After informing them, the bailiffs brought them in.

The first time she saw Yan Li, Madam Feng stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Yan Tea Supervisor, I wonder if there is any news from Gongcha. Has the missing person been found?"

If she had to say what she was most concerned about right now, it must be Li Ji's safety, followed by Jiang family and tribute tea.

She is not a saint, and she knows clearly which one should be prioritized and when.

Yan Li quickly stood up to avoid the greeting, and then returned the greeting: "Madam, don't worry, the people and the tea are safe. But the matter is not over yet, so it is inconvenient to say too much."

He felt helpless and amused in his heart. The Jiang family was really full of hidden talents and there were all kinds of big shots.

Unfortunately, due to bad luck, the former head of the Jiang family and his wife were robbed and killed along the way, and the murderer has not been found yet.

After hearing Yan Li's words, Mrs. Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was not an accident, but was already part of their plan.

She breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Zhang Yuanzhi and said, "Please interrogate this man. He knows something about the rebels."

Then, she continued, "This man was originally Jiang Yin's second uncle, but he got into trouble some time ago, and the two families have long since severed their relationship.

But he has evil intentions and always pesters Jiang Yin. I hope you can investigate carefully to see what his real purpose is."

If she told the story, Yan Li would be more convinced.

Jiang Yin quickly agreed, "That's right. I hope the tea supervisor can judge for me. I'm worried that he keeps harassing me."

Now that it has come to this, of course we have to get rid of Jiang first.

Yan Li understood the current situation immediately, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will not let anyone who affects the tea-horse trade go.

As for your Jiang Tea Farm, I will also send more people to protect the tea leaves."

Since the opening of the tea-horse trade, the Tea and Horse Bureau has sent people to assist various tea farms in picking and making tea during the tea picking season every year.

In addition to protecting tea, this is also to supervise the major families to prevent them from lying or falsifying tea production.

Of course, the people from the Tea and Horse Service only supervise and do not do it themselves.

The Jiang family's intention at the moment was naturally to seek more protection. Otherwise, they would not have come to them earlier and asked the Tea and Horse Department and Li Ji to send people to guard the tea mountain.

As expected, Jiang Yin's eyes lit up and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Tea Supervisor. I feel much more at ease now."

She also had her own selfish motives. She sent more people to guard the Tea and Horse Bureau. If there were any problems, Jiang would not be the only one to bear the responsibility.

“Mmmmm~Mmmmm~”

Zhang Yuanzhi twisted his body, stared at Jiang Yin angrily, then looked at Yan Li, wanting to say something.

However, Yan Li did not give him a chance, and waved his hand and said, "Come here, take the man away!"

He is just a clown, trying to drag others into the water without even noticing who they are.

After realizing Yan Li's good intentions, Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief and asked smugly, "When is the tea supervisor going to try him?"

If possible, she wanted to be present during the interrogation of Zhang Yuanzhi to prevent him from making irresponsible remarks.

However, Yan Li just waved his hand and said indifferently: "This matter is not urgent, wait until the inspector comes back. Miss Jiang, don't worry, since your two families have severed their relationship, this matter has nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Besides, your father is a son-in-law, and the Zhang family's affairs have nothing to do with you."

The theory that misfortune will not affect a daughter who marries out of the family also applies to a daughter who marries into the wife's family.

Jiang Yin's eyes turned red for a moment. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Yan Li, then said goodbye to Aunt Feng and returned to the old house.

However, on the way back, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Mrs. Feng thought she was under too much pressure these days, so she put her arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, the tea supervisor said there will be no problem, there will definitely be no problem.

The tribute tea is protected by officials, so we just need to take care of the tea mountain affairs and roast and hand over this batch of Mengshan tea as soon as possible."

She sighed again in her heart. It was really not easy for Yin to bear so many things.

Jiang Yin sobbed twice, then wiped the tears from her eyes with her handkerchief embroidered with tea tree buds, and said with all her might, "Aunt, if I hadn't woken up and still believed in my second uncle's words, would the Jiang family have been destroyed as well?"

In the previous life, the Jiang family was executed along with all nine clans because of Zhang Yuanzhi's involvement.

The Jiang family could have lived safely in a corner, but it was all her fault. She was the one who harmed the Jiang family.

Whenever she thought of this, it was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Madam Feng was slightly startled, then she raised her hand and tapped Jiang Yin's forehead and said, "Why are you thinking about that? Haven't you come to your senses?"

She sighed and continued, "No matter what, as long as my aunt is here, I can always keep you safe."

Even if Jiang was implicated by Zhang Yuanzhi, she could still save Jiang Yin's life.

But she is not omnipotent. If such a thing really happens, saving Jiang Yin's life is already her limit.

Hearing this, Jiang Yin couldn't hold it anymore.

So, in her previous life, she was able to save her life by getting in touch with Li Ji, was it really Aunt Feng who pushed her behind the scenes?

Presumably, if it weren't for Aunt Feng, Li Ji would not have accepted her, the daughter of a small merchant with no power, no influence, and no background.

Fortunately, fortunately, her past life was a thing of the past, and she had learned her lesson at a painful price. In this life, she would not repeat the same mistakes.

Mrs. Feng didn't know what Jiang Yin was thinking and could only comfort him softly.

Jiang Yin's emotions came and went quickly.

When she returned to the old house, she had already calmed down. She went back to the house to pack up and then went directly to the tea mountain.
