Under the night sky, although there were still specks of starlight in the sky, this bit of light was simply insignificant in the pitch-black night. It was not enough to see the road clearly at night.
Yin Changqing sat in the carriage, but he did not care. He let the coachman drive the carriage and still rushed to Mount Zhongnan overnight. Along the way, it was not easy to hurry. After all, the night was pitch-black, especially when the carriage was different from riding a horse.
Rumble! Rumble!
The wheels turned quickly, and the carriage was also constantly bumping.
Yin Changqing sat in the carriage, his body constantly rising and falling. The bones in his body seemed to be about to fall apart under such rapid bumps. However, Yin Changqing's mind was not here. He was thinking about Mount Zhongnan's matter.
He was slightly expectant, hoping that Mu Yuansheng's business in Mount Zhongnan was still there. Then, when he arrived at Mount Zhongnan, he could pursue the matter and let Mu Yuansheng explain clearly.
Yin Changqing suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. The surroundings were pitch-black. Especially when he looked at the starry sky, he saw dark clouds gathering in the sky, covering all the starlight. The sky was incomparably dark.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Yin Changqing could not help but shiver.
Suddenly, Yin Changqing felt that his face was soaked by the rain. He stretched out his hand and felt that there were raindrops splashing down in the cold wind. The rain turned from a light rain at the beginning to a heavy rain in the blink of an eye.
Although it was not a downpour, the rain was extremely dense.
The coachman and attendants sitting on the shaft of the carriage were quickly drenched in the wind and rain. After the two of them were drenched, although the torches were still crackling, the flames were much weaker.
As the rain washed away, the ground gradually became wet.
It was easy for the carriage to slip on it.
The coachman said loudly, "Young Master, the rain is getting heavier. If we continue to hurry, I'm afraid the carriage will easily overturn, and we won't even be able to sneak. Young Master, should we stop and take shelter from the rain first? After this heavy rain passes, it won't be too late for us to continue on our way. "
"No, continue on our way!"
Yin Changqing gritted his teeth and directly ordered.
To Yin Changqing, he had to rush to Mount Zhongnan at night. He did not care if it rained or not, he only cared about rushing forward. Following Yin Changqing's order, the coachman had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue driving.
However, the speed of the carriage had decreased by a lot because if it continued to speed up, it would be extremely easy for the carriage to slip and overturn. Therefore, they could only reduce the speed of the carriage.
The pitter-patter of rain continued.
The road became more and more muddy.
Under the night sky, the torch at the door of the carriage continued to emit a weak light. The fire flickered in the air as if it could be extinguished at any time under the rain.
The carriage continued to move forward. Suddenly, the carriage made a 'ka ka' sound, and the entire carriage swerved.
The coachman's expression changed greatly, and he immediately pulled on the reins.
The horse stopped.
The coachman immediately got off the carriage and carefully inspected the situation. His face revealed a helpless expression as he reported, "Young Master, the axle of this carriage has been broken. It is impossible to continue on the road."
"Bastard!"
Yin Changqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and crawled out, completely ignoring the heavy rain that continued to fall. He jumped off the carriage, looked at the broken axle, and suddenly roared.
His roar was drowned out by the sound of the rain in an instant.
Yin Changqing was about to go crazy.
What was going on!
What was going on with him!
He just wanted to seek justice and a result, but the heavens were not on his side and treated him so harshly. Such a situation had already caused Yin Changqing to go crazy.
He thought about his situation and thought about how he had lost so much money this time, especially under such circumstances, he was like a drowned rat. Yin Changqing was even more sorrowful and could not suppress the despair in his heart.
Bean-sized teardrops immediately filled his eyes. Then, they flowed out from his eyes and rolled down his cheeks. However, these tears were instantly washed away by the falling rain.
This scene was not noticed by anyone.
After a long while, Yin Changqing recovered. He took a deep breath, wiped the rain on his face, and said through gritted teeth, "Mu Yuansheng, when I reach the tea mountain of Mount Zhongnan, I will definitely make you pay for everything, and make you suffer a fate worse than death. I will make the men in your family slaves for generations; I will make the women in your family prostitutes for generations. Mu Yuansheng, you can't bear the consequences of offending me. "
His heart was already filled with endless resentment.
He had never been deceived like this since he was young, and had never been in such a sorry state. Even in the past, when he went outside the Du Qi's door to apologize to Du Qi, although he was humiliated by Du Qi, he was not in such a sorry state.
The scene in front of him was too embarrassing.
All of this was caused by Mu Yuansheng.
Yin Changqing looked at the coachman and said, "Can this carriage be repaired?"
The coachman shook his head and said, "Young Master, this is the wilderness, especially at night, and there are no tools in hand. It's impossible to repair the carriage. "
Yin Changqing's cheeks twitched. He sighed and ordered, "Let the horse out, I will ride it to Mount Zhongnan. You all stay here and wait for dawn to find someone to repair the carriage. "
"Yes!"
The coachman and the attendants responded.
After a while, the horse was released. Yin Changqing flipped onto the horse and rode it to Mount Zhongnan. However, because the road was muddy, he did not dare to run fast and could only slow down.
After walking for about an hour, the clouds and rain dissipated, but the sky was still dark. Fortunately, there were some stars now, and he was familiar with the roads, so he could hurry.
It was already past dawn when Yin Changqing arrived at the foot of Mount Zhongnan.
There were some residents living around.
However, it was already past dawn, and all the villagers had already gone to bed. So even though Yin Changqing had arrived, the surroundings were still dark.
However, Yin Changqing did not care so much. He went directly to the door of a family and knocked on the door. After the owner came out, Yin Changqing threatened the people fiercely. After he said his identity, he asked the people at the foot of Mount Zhongnan to take out torches and a set of clothes for him to change into. He then let the people lead the way. He was going to find Mu Yuansheng.
Coincidentally, this person was a tea farmer nearby.
When he heard Yin Changqing's words, he frowned and said, "Young Master, this Shopkeeper Mu is only here to buy tea. He doesn't live here at all, and we can't find him! I remember now. At that time, you and Shopkeeper Mu came to our Zhongnan Mountains together and saw Cai Cha. You know Shopkeeper Mu, so why are you asking us? "
When Yin Changqing heard this, he was struck by lightning.
He widened his eyes and said with an incredulous look on his face, "How is it possible? How could Mu Yuansheng be here to buy tea? He said that this tea mountain belongs to him. "
"How is it possible?"
When the tea farmer heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "This tea mountain belongs to Mr. Liu of our village. Mr. Liu's name is Liu Wenju, and he has been running this tea mountain for decades. So this tea mountain can't be Mu Yuansheng's. "
Boom!!
Thunder exploded in Yin Changqing's mind again.
He was a little dizzy.
It was really the tea farmer's news that made him at a loss for a moment. Mu Yuansheng didn't have a tea mountain, and this tea mountain was Liu Wenju's. What should he do?
Yin Changqing took a deep breath and asked again, "But in this area, there are craftsmen who specialize in frying tea and sealing tea leaves. These people are all Mu Yuansheng's, right? "
"Yes!"
The tea farmer nodded and said, "This Shopkeeper Mu brought people to process the tea, and then everyone withdrew. We only know that Shopkeeper Mu came to collect the tea leaves, and we don't know anything else. "
Yin Changqing's cheeks twitched, and he asked again, "Does Liu Wenju know?"
The tea farmer said, "Mr. Liu is already over sixty years old. He has been in his house and rarely goes out. How could he know? What's more, the reason why we said it was Mr. Liu is that the tea leaves we picked were all collected by Mr. Liu's housekeeper and then sold to Shopkeeper Mu. Speaking of which, this is the first time we met Shopkeeper Mu. He brought a lot of people. A few days ago, except for the tea farmers we picked, the rest were brought by Shopkeeper Mu. "
After Yin Changqing heard this, he fell to the ground with a plop.
He knew it was over.
He knew he had been set up.
Because everyone was brought by Mu Yuansheng, this meant that the scene he saw at that time was arranged by Mu Yuansheng to confuse him.
This kind of situation made Yin Changqing no longer hold any hope.
Yin Changqing put his hands on the ground and used all his strength. After he was done, he propped himself up and said again, "None of you really know Mu Yuansheng?"
"No!"
The tea farmer answered firmly.
After Yin Changqing heard this, he lost all hope. In the end, he directly asked to stay in the tea farmer's house for the night. Since Yin Changqing said so, the tea farmer did not dare to refuse and could only let Yin Changqing stay.
The next morning.
Yin Changqing got up early. He was a little uncomfortable, and even felt weak and slightly cold. However, he wanted to go to the site to take a look, so he led the horse and stepped on the muddy road to the tea mountain site. He looked at the location where the tea was made and sealed, but the site had been emptied. There was nothing there.
This tea mountain was still on the mountain.
However, Mu Yuansheng had long disappeared. There was no trace of him at all.
Yin Changqing's face revealed a hint of helplessness. He sighed and began to ride back. Along the way, Yin Changqing walked a little slowly, but his mind was thinking about the whole thing.
However, he could not think of a reason no matter how he thought about it. On the way, he met his entourage and coachman. The two of them had found a new carriage and were ready to rush in the direction of Mount Zhongnan.
Now that they had met, they returned together.
After the group of people returned to the city, Yin Changqing immediately led people to inquire about the situation outside the residence in Guiyi Lane. After some inquiries, he found out that the so-called Mu Yuansheng was only temporarily rented, and then he had disappeared.
This cut off all the clues.
Where could he find him in the vast sea of people?
Yin Changqing went to the tea shop in Yongxing Lane in a daze. He walked very slowly. When he returned to Yongxing Lane, it was already three quarters of an hour. As soon as he returned to the shop, the waiter in the shop came directly and said in a panic, "Young Master, something bad has happened. The merchants who bought the tea yesterday are all here to ask for a refund. "
"What?"
Yin Changqing widened his eyes and was immediately angry.
His heart was already filled with anger. Now that he heard the waiter's words, he was furious and ready to fly into a rage. Because the goods were genuine and could not be returned.
