Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 106 Doubt

Jiang Yin was shocked and couldn't help but sigh: "Boss Wu is really infatuated with you."

Ru Niang was originally trained as a courtesan. If she hadn't paid a terrible price, why would the madam let her go?

Now it seems that Boss Wu is really deeply in love with Ru Niangzi.

She couldn't help but think, could it be that Boss Wu really sold the Mengshan tea to someone with ulterior motives?

Although she shouldn't blame Boss Wu for this, after all, it was her servant who had the problem.

Businessmen are profit-oriented and often will do whatever it takes, even if they know it is unethical.

It's the same for her. What she considers first when doing things now is the interests of the family. She just hopes that the Jiang family will not be implicated.

Ru Niangzi smiled bitterly: "I know, but I have my own difficulties."

How could she dare to hope for stability when her great revenge had not yet been taken?

Even though she knew that Boss Wu was deeply in love with her, he didn't mind her identity as a prostitute at all.

But she was touched and grateful for Boss Wu's kindness.

When she left, she left a letter for Boss Wu and said that she would come to see him after she finished her work.

Of course, if she unfortunately died in Beijing, she would also find a way to leave all her wealth to Boss Wu in advance.

Jiang Yin pursed his lips and said, "Revenge? If so, can you go alone?"

Ru Niangzi had mentioned to her before that she wanted revenge, but in her previous life, Ru Niangzi went for revenge and ended up dying in a fire, which was enough to show that this journey was dangerous.

She didn't know whether Boss Wu had redeemed someone in her previous life, but secretly, she didn't want to see Lady Ru die like this.

"We have to give it a try." Ru Niangzi pinched her brows and said helplessly, "Boss Wu is a good man. I don't want to involve him."

This was one of the reasons why she wanted to escape.

What she was about to do was very dangerous. Boss Wu had been so good to her, and she didn't want to repay him with evil.

"But you can't go on the road alone, right?" Jiang Yin said with a straight face, "You are beautiful, and I don't know how many people will covet you on the road. It's not safe."

She took out two silver ingots and handed them to Ru Niangzi: "Don't you have any money? Take these first. It's not close from here to Tokyo. Go ask the escort agency to escort you to the capital."

She could understand that she didn't want to implicate Boss Wu. After all, she didn't want to involve too many people when she took revenge.

However, in order to take revenge, one must first ensure one's own safety.

"No, I have money." Ru Niangzi shook her head and pushed back Jiang Yin's hand that was handing over the silver. "Originally, I also hired two people to escort him, but they ran away when they heard that the man was the county magistrate's son."

It is never good to offend the powerful. She understood that they would run away, but she just misjudged them.

"Miss Jiang, are you going to Huizhou?" She paused and continued, "Why don't you set off now and continue your journey? Lin Zhiyuan is not a good person. I'm afraid he will come and do something bad to you."

Previously, because he brought few people with him, he was restrained by Jiang Yin's men for a while.

When he goes back and realizes what is happening, he will definitely bring people back to look for him.

Jiang Yin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, he doesn't dare to make a sound. My people are following him, and if there is anything unusual, they will report it. However, it is indeed not advisable to stay here for a long time. Madam Ru should leave as soon as possible."

Her people just brought back the news. Lin Zhiyuan ran back and hid in his room, not daring to say a word. He didn't even dare to see a doctor, let alone ask his father for help.

Come to think of it, he is just a guy who bullies the weak.

Since he didn't dare let the county magistrate know, it meant that the county magistrate was not someone who would protect him for everything.

Ru Niangzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I heard that Magistrate Lin is not a bad person. I think that's true."

I just don't know how to raise such a bastard.

But on second thought, it was probably because of her identity as a prostitute that Lin Zhiyuan was so bold.

"How does he know your identity?" Jiang Yin frowned and asked, "Besides, Boss Wu has already redeemed you. You are just an ordinary citizen like us."

She didn't think that County Magistrate Lin was really a good person. If he was really a good person, how could he raise such a playboy.

Even the servants following Lin Zhiyuan were aiding and abetting the evil.

Ru Niangzi smiled bitterly and said, "What a coincidence, Lin Zhiyuan has been to Yazhou and met me."

If not for this, Lin Zhiyuan would not have recognized her when he saw her.

"He has been to Yazhou?" Jiang Yin frowned. "When did he go? Do you know what he did in Yazhou?"

Hanzhong has a special geographical location, and the location of the previous tea-horse trade is not far from here.

Who would travel all the way to such a small place like Yazhou if it weren't for Mengshan tea?

Therefore, she felt that Lin Zhiyuan's going to Yazhou was very unusual.

"I don't know." Ru Niangzi shook her head and said, "With Lin Zhiyuan's personality, even if there is an important matter, he will not be given it to do."

At best, it can only serve as a shield.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Yin nodded and said, "Do you want to find someone to escort you to the capital? There must be an escort agency in Guanzhong that can be used. I'll have my people find one for you."

She brought a lot of people with her, but her relationship with Ru Niangzi was not that close, so it was naturally impossible for her to assign her people to her.

At best, she could only help select people.

Madam Ru's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Madam Jiang to help me find an escort agency."

Jiang Yin agreed and asked Wang Heng to help find a convoy of escort companies that happened to be coming from Chengdu to Beijing, and let Ru Niang and her daughter dress up as men and go to Beijing with them.

Fortunately, although the two men escorting Ru Niangzi ran away, the coachman and the carriage did not run away.

However, the escort agency will set off immediately and will not stay in Hanzhong for long.

So, Niangzi said goodbye to Jiang Yin and set off for Tokyo first.

After seeing off Ru Niangzi, Jiang Yin no longer had the heart to go shopping and just stayed in the inn to rest.

Xiao Luo couldn't help but said, "Madam, why don't we set off now?"

She was really worried that Lin Zhiyuan would come looking for her, which would not be a good thing.

However, Jiang Yin shook his head and said, "No need, he won't come to cause trouble."

Since Lin Zhiyuan had been to Yazhou, he probably knew her. At this time, even if they wanted to, they would not dare to act rashly.

What's more, she can indeed reach the ears of God.

Besides, I don't know what the Lin family is up to. At this time, they will not lose the big picture for the small things and come to trouble her because of such a small matter.

Jiang Yin was not in a hurry, and Xiao Luo was relieved.

However, Xiao Luo couldn't help but sigh: "Madam Ru is really pitiful. I don't know if her trip will be smooth."

"Of course, good things will happen to those who are lucky." Jiang Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "We will be successful too."

Jiang Yin still followed the original plan and set out again early the next morning to continue his journey.

And as she expected, Lin Zhiyuan did not come to cause trouble.

However, before leaving, she left someone here to monitor the Lin family.
