Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 127 Night Attack

The afterglow of the setting sun soon disappeared into the night sky along with the hurried footsteps.

During this time, the tea master came up again and said that their boss had received the money. But the money was too much, so he brought some loose tea to Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin did not refuse and accepted the loose tea.

When night fell, Xiao Luo followed him back to the private room.

"How is it?" Jiang Yin asked, "Are they all cooperating?"

She looked upstairs and saw that someone had delivered some tea, but not much. All in all, there were probably only three carts of tea.

"Not all of them cooperated." Xiao Luo drank a cup of tea and continued quickly, "Only a small number of people went today. Some big families only paid a symbolic amount, not all of it."

"Oh?" Jiang Yin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did the Inspector General say anything?"

As she expected, not many people were willing to give out all their tea without reservation.

Even if the Inspector investigates, they can actually find a reason.

After all, the order for the tea monopoly was only issued in the evening, so it was normal that they didn't have time to clean up everything.

I don’t know how many people will transfer so much tea in just one night.

Huizhou tea has just been picked and roasted, and before it is roasted, a lot of tea has been ordered. No one will miss this money.

Therefore, we should transfer as much as we can quickly. After all the monopoly is taken over by the government, we don’t know when we can buy it again.

Xiao Luo shook her head and said, "The posthouse is heavily guarded right now, I can't get in. But Guard Heng has gone in, and I think he'll send back a message soon."

"Okay, let's go back first." Jiang Yin immediately stood up and took Xiao Luo to the inn.

Wang Heng went to the inn early in the morning and never came back, so she was very worried.

There was also no news about Si Niang, so she had to go back early to meet up with them and exchange information.

When she returned to her room in the inn, Jiang Si Niang was already waiting for her in the room.

The two quickly exchanged information and finally got some bad news. That is, Huizhou City was under martial law.

Jiang Yin was shocked and said, "Are you worried that someone might smuggle tea out of the city?"

Fortunately, she had someone transport all the tea leaves collected by Si Niang away overnight. Otherwise, given the situation today, they would probably be intercepted before they had gone far.

Although most Huangshan Maofeng teas are loose tea, they made a lot of flake tea this time.

What's more, the quantity of Huangshan Maofeng this time is not small, enough to make the inspector excited and even detain it.

Jiang Si Niang also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, fortunately we are fast."

She continued, "I also found out today that the Supervisor's surname is Li, and I heard he is also a royal relative."

Jiang Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "So, the one who wanted to kill my parents was a royal relative."

In addition, it is possible that it is the government.

She suddenly thought of Mr. Li, whom Qi Haisheng and Jiang Dewang brought to the tea mountain late at night. She suspected that the man was the Inspector here, and she wanted to meet him.

"You can't go, it's easy to expose your true identity." Jiang Si Niang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't Wang Heng go there? He has seen that person. We'll know when he comes back and ask him."

If it was really that person, he would probably want to kill them all here immediately.

Jiang Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Si Niang, I won't be reckless."

I thought Wang Heng would be back soon, however, after waiting for another hour, he still hadn't come back.

Even the person she had just sent out to look for him hadn't come back.

"No, I have to go out and look for it." Jiang Yin stood up quickly.

She was really worried that something might have happened to Wang Heng.

Wang Heng is like a younger brother to her, and she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

"I'll go too." Jiang Si Niang stood up and agreed.

But Jiang Yin refused: "Si Niang, please stay at the inn. If he comes back or there is something urgent, it will be easier to make a decision."

Si Niang doesn't know martial arts, and she was really worried that she would encounter danger if she followed him out.

Jiang Si Niang's lips twitched slightly, and she finally agreed to stay in the inn. She couldn't go out and hold them back.

Jiang Yin took Xiao Luo out of the inn and walked towards the post house, but he didn't expect to hear the sound of fighting before he reached the post house.

"Hurry!" Jiang Yin's face changed and she hurried to run to the inn, fearing that her people would be isolated and helpless.

"Sir, wait a minute." Xiao Luo quickly pulled the man back, "I'll go take a look first, Sir, wait a moment."

She was so confused as to why a fight had started. She prayed in her heart that the person was not theirs.

Jiang Yin grabbed Xiao Luo's hand and said, "No need, let's go together and take a look at the situation first."

She swore in her heart that she would never let Xiao Luo die again in this life, and she would only feel at ease if she went with him.

Xiao Luo could not resist Jiang Yin's decision and could only follow her carefully, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

When they arrived at the door of the teahouse, it was closed. Only the inn in the alley across the street was brightly lit and there were sounds of fighting.

From the sound of fighting, one could tell that there were a lot of people involved, and it was not a commotion that Wang Heng alone could have caused.

Jiang Yin breathed a sigh of relief instantly. As long as it wasn't Wang Heng, that was good.

They hid in the corner and listened for a while, and just as they were about to continue to go to the inn, they saw two figures running towards them.

Xiao Luo held her hand tightly, and if something went wrong, he would immediately take his wife away.

However, Jiang Yin took a closer look and found that the two people who came were Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er.

Both of them had their faces covered at the moment, so most people would not be able to discover their identities except those who were familiar with them.

Xiao Luo also recognized the two people and said quickly: "It's them, sir, it's really them."

Jiang Yin nodded, quickly gestured to the two of them, then turned and ran in the opposite direction of the inn.

After seeing the gesture, Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er immediately followed her.

After turning two alleys and finding no pursuers or followers, Jiang Yin stopped in a corner and waited for Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er to come over.

However, when the two of them got closer, Jiang Yin discovered that Wang Heng was injured.

The wound was on his shoulder. If he hadn't bandaged it casually and covered his shoulder, there would have been blood all the way.

Jiang Yin's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "How did you get so badly injured? Quick, give me some medicine for the wound."

As she spoke, she took out the golden wound medicine she carried with her from her sleeve and gave it to Wang Heng.

Wang Heng shook his head and said, "The medicine has been applied. Sir, please go back quickly. Let's go separately and meet up again at the inn."

He actually didn't want to follow, but thought that Jiang Yin would not leave easily if he didn't explain it to her, so he had no choice but to follow with Yan Ge'er.

"Okay, let's meet up at the inn." Jiang Yin didn't say much, but took back the golden wound medicine and said decisively, "You two go first, be careful, and be careful not to be discovered."

He was wearing a nightgown and was injured. Everyone who saw him would call him a bad guy.

Wang Heng and Yan Ge'er did not waste any time. After giving a few instructions, they left quickly.

Jiang Yin looked at the direction the two people left, and then, together with Xiao Luo, followed their steps.
