Chapter 24 Dead Road

Leaving the courtyard, Wen Shengan dragged his heavy footsteps through the streets in frustration.

"Hey! Boss Wen! Today's priest is even better than your ticket trick!" A sharp voice shouted up the teahouse.

Wen Shengan had no intention of paying attention to these rogues and walked out of the city powerlessly.

Looking back, when I came from Shanxi, I was still a young man in his twenties. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed and people have become extremely vicissitudes.

The special relationship between the tribe and the warlords made a fortune. The Shuitiansi had just been dissolved and the Xue family was defeated. All business was put on hold. The arrival of Sheng'an Piaohao brought the chaotic business back on track.

Taking advantage of the checks and balances of several major forces, Wen Sheng'an immediately chose the ticket number in the relatively stable Min County.

With his reputation of both virtue and virtue, he quickly expanded his scale and opened a local branch. He was also a good merchant, and in name was Sheng'an's semicolon, but in fact he felt ashamed of seeing the endless sufferings brought by the war. All young people who were unsuccessful were recruited to a semicolon and gave them a bite of food. Over time, the name of the Saint Wen spread throughout the city.

In those years, some businessmen from afar did not dare to pass the road. He was also worried for a while. Finally, after thinking about it, he took a detour and gave him silver, which saved the money from asking for the escort agency. As a result, some bandits on the mountain took a fancy to this rich man and couldn't ask for money, so they just robbed the road halfway. But what he never expected was that this seemingly literary businessman was a martial arts master with great martial arts skills. The bandits around him admired him from then on, and they all said to be the top martial arts scholar who was wandering among the people.

Until three years ago, the San Laohui, a major power in Niutou Mountain City, was occupied by warlords, and he had no choice but to join Minxian City with his men.

Seeing the three kind old men loyal and honest, and their subordinates had some skills, Wen Sheng'an opened a big door, formed an alliance with the Three Old Man Association, and bought a silk shop for them. On the one hand, it facilitated the transactions in the surrounding cities, and on the other hand, it also stimulated the transaction volume of ticket business. At first, it spent more than a month in harmony.

But unexpectedly, the business of the Sanlaohui's silk shop is getting bigger and bigger, and there are even rumors that it will be compatible with Sheng'an Piaohao.

Wen Sheng'an felt something was wrong, and after investigating from many sources, he realized that this group of people was not doing serious business. They settled the bandits around them in a month and snatched past caravans from other places. What's more, even the caravan business in Qiaojiashan was robbed.

This matter could no longer be tolerated. He was determined to cut off relations and tore up the covenant, so the Piaohao deliberately closed the door for three days and did not exchange it for silver with the silk and satin shop of the Sanlaohui.

Who are the Three Old Mans? They are no more than the bandits on the mountain. They were once overlords in the same place. In this way, they were nothing more than forcing themselves to the dead end.

Sure enough, before a morning had passed, the San Laohui gathered a large group of people to flatten the entire Minxian town. Anyone who was willing to look for Wen Sheng'an was brutally killed.

Forced to the point of helplessness, Wen Sheng'an decided to discuss the matter of the covenant again, but at this time the Three Old Man's Association had already become a tiger and could not look down on a small piece of food at all.

They led people to kick the ticket number, arrested Wen Sheng'an's parents and children, and forced Wen Sheng'an to write a handover contract.

A Sheng'an Piaohao, which he had worked hard to establish, had nothing to do with him anymore. He thought that it would be fine and he would no longer compete with them, because he could no longer have the ability to get anything back by his own efforts.

But things were not that simple. After he handed over all his property, the people from the San Laohui drove his family out of the city.

As hunger and cold as he was frightened, he had to bow his head and go back to the city to ask for some living expenses. This time, some vendors in the city began to plead for Wen Sheng'an, and some even paid out of their own pockets.

After hearing this, Boss Yang, the leader, immediately captured Wen Sheng'an and beat him up. Because, since he sat down, the three elders have used their same tricks to move the previous worship of the fire worship to Minxian City, trying to re-establish an orderly force belonging to them.

Obviously, Wen Sheng'an's influence has affected a large number of people, and their worship of the Zoroastrian has no sense of sacredness. In order to wipe out people's hearts and rebuild forces, they pretended to be Wen Sheng'an as a sacrifice, and came to the city to open an altar to worship the fire every year, and presided over the fire worship ceremony.

This year is only the third year. The Three Old Man Association has wiped out the local people's admiration for Wen Sheng'an before. No one talks about Wen Sheng'an's name of sacred virtues. More people will only think of the mysterious "Fire Saint" pleader on the sacrificial platform!

The silver notes in his arms were blurred by the folded handwriting. Looking at the sunset that was drifting, he was crying, and the scars on his broad back muscles seemed to be his return journey.

"Senior, how far is the Sheng'an Piao number?"

A fair young man asked, blocking the slope.

He raised his finger weakly and pointed behind him, and continued to walk forward with his eyes blankly.

"May I ask, has the San Laos' Association in this city delivered goods from this road recently?"

As soon as he heard the three words "Three Old Man Hui", Wen Shengan immediately came back to his senses.

"You are good at buying and selling with San Lao? What are you doing?"

The young man smiled and took out a piece of paper from his cuff.

"I am the shopkeeper of Qiaojiashan. Our goods are missing at the shipment port on this road. The head of the company asked me to investigate!"

Wen Sheng'an asked in surprise: "People from Qiaojiashan? Are you Lianshou or Liangui?"

"Oh? It seems that senior is not an ordinary family!"

Wen Shengan waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't ask about the world!"

"My junior Xu Yuan, I wonder if you are?"

Wen Shengan shook his head: "I am a person who is not dead. If you want to die, go and don't stop me!"

Xu Yuan asked: "Are you not from the Three Old Man's Society?"

"No, never, never die!"

Xu Yuan was immediately bored. He thought that after a few days of investigation, he found a suspicious person, but he was still a refugee.

"Oh, I've disturbed Senior. It turns out that we've recognized the wrong one!"

Wen Sheng'an felt something was wrong. Could it be that the three elders would have fought a big fight? His face darkened and he pulled Xu Yuan aside and asked, "Young man, let me explain clearly, what is the reason?"

Xu Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a little disgusted with the Three Old Man's Association. It seemed that the control of the Three Old Man's Association had not won the supremacy of the people. It is logical that such a big action would definitely alarm everyone, but the man's panicked expression was obviously unaware of it.

If it weren't for the Three Olds' Club's actions, there would obviously be a bigger black hand behind this, and all of this seemed to be linked together, and Wen Sheng'an seemed panicked.

There is inevitably a greater hidden secret behind this matter. In order to hide this for the time being, Xu Yuan deceived: "Actually, I am a spy from the Three Olds Society!"

"Don't talk nonsense about young people. I can tell you the difference between you and those people from your eyes. Tell me the truth, what is the purpose of the Three Old Man? Who is behind them? Maybe I can help you!"
