Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Jiang Yin went to the tea mountain first, and all the people in the tribe took action to pick and make tea together.

At this rate, all the Mengshan tea will be produced in ten days at most and handed over to the Tea and Horse Bureau.

The tea picking task in the tea mountain was carried out in an orderly manner. Jiang Yin took a look around and went to the tea farm.

In the tea farm, people are frying tea, cooling tea, and packing tea into baskets. Just like in the tea mountains, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The people from the Tea and Horse Service guarded the tea plantation with a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

As soon as the cages are packed, they will personally put the packed Mengshan tea into the warehouse, and they will guard and keep it until it is delivered to the Tea and Horse Bureau.

Jiang Yin's eyes flickered slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

She sneered in her heart. The four families in Mengshan were fighting with each other, but they didn't know that after this year, it might not be certain whether the tea mountain would still belong to them.

The war situation at the border was tense and there was a shortage of war horses. The government was afraid that they would really plan to take back the tea mountains.

She couldn't twist the arm, she had done what she could. If it really came to this, she still had a way out, she just hoped that everything would go well for Si Niang.

"Why is Ah Yin here?" Jiang Erniang saw Jiang Yin as soon as she stepped out of the door, and hurried over to hold her hand and asked, "Did your trip go smoothly? Did the tea supervisor give you any trouble?"

She didn't say it, but she was still worried that the Tea and Horse Department would be implicated by the Jiang family. After all, Zhang Yuanzhi was guilty of treason.

Jiang Yin held Jiang Erniang's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Erniang. The tea supervisor is a reasonable person and knows that Zhang Yuanzhi has nothing to do with our Jiang family."

She looked around and then whispered, "Yan Chajian said that the crime does not apply to married women, so it is appropriate to put them here."

Jiang Erniang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. We have a clear conscience anyway."

No one knew what had happened to the Jiang family. They had only one daughter for several generations. Only Xiaoya's generation had a son.

There are no male members in the family, so it is already difficult for them to survive compared to other families, not to mention making a mistake in choosing a son-in-law.

It’s not that Jiang Yin’s father is not good enough, but that her father’s family is not good enough.

However, it is useless to say these now. The world is in a difficult situation and war is raging. All we can do is to protect the Jiang family.

Jiang Yin smiled and said nothing. Instead, he followed Jiang Er Niang around the tea plantation and only then did he realize that Xiao Luo was not there.

She frowned and asked, "Second Mother, have you seen Xiao Luo?"

Her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Jiang Erniang asked, "He was here just now. Could he have gone to the tea mountain?"

"I'll go look for her." Jiang Yin turned and left, fearing that Xiao Luo might encounter some accident.

Seeing how anxious she was, Jiang Erniang quickly followed her: "I'll go with you."

The two hurried to the tea mountain, but met Xiao Luo who was running in a panic halfway.

The moment Jiang Yin saw Xiao Luo, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was only half relieved when he breathed it back again.

She ran up and asked, "Xiao Luo, where have you been? Why are you injured?"

There were many blood stains on Xiao Luo's body and her face was pale. Jiang Yin thought she was seriously injured and hurriedly supported her.

"It's not my blood." Xiao Luo explained quickly, "Madam, the person who was sent out to gather information has returned and is injured. Aunt Feng rode her horse to the capital at full speed, and I couldn't stop her. Guard Heng followed her to protect Aunt Feng."

Not only did the people sent by his wife come back, but Aunt Feng also seemed to have sent someone, but the news they brought back was not good news.

"What?" Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly. "Where are the injured people? Take me to see them."

"It's in the old house. Madam, follow me." Xiao Luo didn't care about anything else and hurriedly took Jiang Yin to the old house.

Because Xie Daoyun went out, Jiang Erniang was also worried, so she followed him back to the old house.

When they returned to the old house, Yan Ge'er had already taken care of the injured and asked some questions.

With the attitude of trying not to disturb the injured, Jiang Yin quickly asked a few questions, comforted him, and then came out to ask Yan Ge'er about the specific situation.

It turned out that the people she sent out actually encountered a group of rebels. When they met them, the rebels and the yamen runners were fighting, so they joined in to help.

Afterwards, the soldiers sent by the prefect arrived and wiped out the rebel army in one fell swoop.

After that, there was no danger, so her people prepared to return to report the news. However, unexpectedly, on the way back, they met Li Ji who was fighting with the man in black.

The injuries on their bodies were also caused by fighting with the men in black.

The man in black was very powerful and even Li Ji was injured.

Upon hearing the news about Li Ji and knowing that he was injured, Mrs. Feng naturally could not sit still and immediately rode her horse as fast as she could to rush over.

As for the details, among those who assassinated Li Ji, one of them used a very strange weapon.

It was a three-meter-long iron chain with a large awl attached to the end. If the awl hit someone, it would be extremely lethal.

It was because of this person's presence that they were injured to varying degrees.

With a "bang", Jiang Yin slammed his palm on the table, feeling very excited.

At the place where her parents were killed, she saw dents, which turned out to be the marks left by awls.

So, the assassins who assassinated Li Ji and the people behind them are the ones who killed his parents?

She stood up quickly: "Prepare the horses and chase!"

She finally got the clue of who murdered her parents, she couldn't let it go.

"Hey, Yin, don't be impatient." Jiang Erniang quickly pulled the man back and said earnestly, "Those people are very skilled in martial arts. You won't be a match for them even if you go. It's better to wait and see what Mr. Li says."

If he faced an expert, Jiang Yin would die in vain.

Since those people are still targeting Li Ji, they are the same enemy. It will not be too late to wait until the result comes out from Li Ji's side.

"I can't wait any longer, Second Mother." Jiang Yin patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't worry, Second Mother, I will definitely take my own safety as the priority and will not go up easily."

If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when the next one will come.

She wanted to find the murderer who killed her parents as soon as possible and avenge them.

Even if she couldn't take revenge on her own, she had to find the real murderer and evidence first so that she could ask for help.

However, Jiang Erniang still insisted: "Wait and see what your second uncle says when he comes back."

She really didn't want Jiang Yin to go to such a dangerous place.

If Xie Daoyun brought back good news, Jiang Yin wouldn't have to take the risk.

Jiang Yin paused, tilted his head and blinked, "So, Second Uncle went to the scene to help?"

She said that Xie Daoyun must have gone to help Li Ji.

Yan Ge'er patted his head suddenly and said, "By the way, it seems that there is a warrior who looks like the second uncle helping. But his face was covered, and our people didn't recognize him."

He hadn't thought about it in this regard when he heard about it before, but now that he heard about it, he felt that the person was Xie Daoyun.
