Velshir feels well rested the next morning, having accomplished a very productive meditation. He rounds up what comrades he can with the intention of finding some of these trouble-makers. He wonders how well-attended a tap house would be in the morning but intends to check there anyway, just to see.
Loren approaches Velshir in the early morning, and shares what he knows about the Redbrands, and about Alderleaf farm, and that those at the farm might give us more information and even help us figure out a way to help these people. He also mentions a certain secret tunnel known to Carp Alderleaf, that Loren really really really wants to go find.
Iymbryl is present for the conversation between Loren and Velshir. Agreeing that the Redbrands are the next issue which must be tackled he listens as Loren relays his information and replies "Having appropriate knowledge will allow us to strategize better. I propose that we visit this Alderleaf and talk to them, as well as a few others around town possibly. Learn as much as we can before we confront these brigands."

You learn this from Freda, a weaver: “The Redbrands hassle every business in town, except for the Phandalin Miner’s Exchange. They don’t want trouble with Halia Thornton, who runs it.”
@joshua
you still have the sealed box from Sildar in your possession.
I believe that this information is what is being shared. Here they are:
From Joshua - Trilena, the innkeeper’s wife: “Thel Dendrar, a local woodcarver, stood up to the Redbrands a ten-day ago when they came by his shop and leered at his wife. The ruffians murdered him. Several townsfolk saw it happen. The Redbrands grabbed his body, and now his wife, daughter, and son have gone missing too." She also shares that Toblen is afraid of too much attention being brought on the inn since this has happened.
From Loren - Pip, Toblen’s young son: “Qelline Alderleaf’s son Carp said he found a secret tunnel in the woods, but Redbrands almost caught him.”
Here is more of the map unless other info comes to light. Please let me know if I missed anything that needs to be shared. (map is cut intentionally but let me know if you are unable to see it. )
Sheyla will purchase the armor, and two sets of clothing from Freda. Total 9 gp.
To the group Sheyla says, "These Redbrands sound dreadful. Most certainly they are running a extortion business. Shake up the people, make them pay or they hurt you, your family or destroy your property. I feel we are equiped to deal with them."
Also Joshua will present the box to the group "This was left here for us from Sildar. Not that Im paranoid or anything, but Loren can you take a look and make sure it isnt trapped at all?"
"Oh! That's... a whole lot. What... what do we even spend this much on. This is," Loren counts on his fingers for a moment, "all the bread in a bakery and a half."
Velshir takes his share and suggests the party move out, first to the Alderleaf farm for more intel, as the tap house may not even be open yet at this early hour.
Unthir awoke sweating with urgency, quickly dressing and leaving the inn with his things. He sat outside, wandering about till he saw the others making purchases and plans. He nodded in agreement with what was said, shocked to hear about the bandits and equally interested in the secret tunnel. He pondered the decision and ultimately sided with checking out the farm in the hopes that additional information could lead to the tunnel's discovery.
Cheers, and Happy Holiday to those that celebrate it!
Unthir's spoiler can be viewed by all. Many toasts and cheers are presented to the party as heroes.

@ Sheyla She thanks you kindly for your business and wishes you the gods' blessings in your endeavor and leaves you to your evening.
Upon review of the box, there seems no evidence of any trap, you only see that it cannot be opened without breaking the seal.
Loren opens the box with glee.
The box reveals 60 well padded gold coins with a small rolled scroll of thanks signed in his handed and sealed as well.
"Oh! That's... a whole lot. What... what do we even spend this much on. This is," Loren counts on his fingers for a moment, "all the bread in a bakery and a half."

He leaves the gold alone.
(The gold was 10g ea for escorting Sildar to town.) Do you all head to Alderleaf farm?
yes
Yes, with the specific intention to look for clues to Loren's tunnel. Unthir thinks it may lead to the bandits hideout.
(Yes)

(Indeed)
Sheyla would get, dressed, and fix herself up but would agree to search for clues.
