After leaving the compound, Wen Sheng'an dragged his heavy footsteps through the streets in frustration.

"Hey! Boss Wen! Today's sacrifice is even better than your ticket number trick!" shouted a high-pitched man upstairs in the teahouse.

Wen Sheng'an had no intention of paying attention to these ruffians and walked feebly outside the city.

I recall that when I came from Shanxi, I was still a young man in his twenties. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed and he has gone through many vicissitudes.

Due to the special relationship between the tribe and the warlord, the bank account made a fortune. Shuitiansi had just been disbanded and the Xue family had been destroyed. All businesses were on hold. The arrival of the Sheng'an bank account brought the chaotic business field back on track.

With the help of the checks and balances of several major forces, Wen Sheng'an immediately chose the relatively stable Min County.

Based on his reputation for both virtue and virtue, he quickly expanded his scale and opened a branch in the local area. He was also a good businessman, and he was nominally a branch of Sheng'an, but in fact he saw the endless suffering caused by the war.

It made him feel guilty. All young people with unsuccessful ambitions were recruited to the semicolon and given a mouthful of food. As time went by, the name of the literary sage spread in the city.

In those years, some businessmen who came from far away did not dare to pass by the main road. He also worried about it for a while, and finally thought about it and decided to take a detour to send the silver coins himself, which also saved the money of hiring an escort. In this way,

Some gangsters from the mountains took a fancy to this rich man, and if they couldn't ask for money, they simply robbed him on the way. But what they never expected was that this seemingly elegant businessman was actually a martial arts practitioner.

The surrounding bandits also admired him greatly from then on, and they all said that he was a martial arts champion living among the people.

Until three years ago, the Sanlaohui, a powerful force in Niutoushan City, was occupied by warlords, and they had no choice but to defect to Minxian City with their troops.

Seeing that the three amiable old men were loyal and honest, and their subordinates were somewhat capable, Wen Sheng'an opened up his doors, formed an alliance with the Three Elders' Association, and built a silk and satin shop for them. This made it easier for businesses in the surrounding cities.

Secondly, it also boosted the business volume of the bank account. At first, we spent more than a month happily like this.

Unexpectedly, the business of this Sanlaohui silk and satin shop is getting bigger and bigger, and there are even rumors that it will be compatible with Sheng'an bank account.

Wen Sheng'an felt something was wrong, so he made extensive inquiries to find out where this group of people were doing serious business. Within a month, they defeated the surrounding bandits and robbed passing caravans in other places. What's even more outrageous is that even

Qiaojiashan's caravan business was also robbed.

This matter could no longer be tolerated, and he was determined to sever ties and tear up the alliance, so the bank deliberately closed its doors for three days and refused to exchange money with the Sanlaohui's silk and satin shop.

Who are the Three Elders? They are no different than the bandits in the mountains. They were once the overlords of the place. This way, they are nothing more than forcing themselves into a dead end.

Sure enough, before a morning had passed, the Sanlaohui gathered a large group of people and trampled the entire Minxian city. Anyone who was interested in Wen Sheng'an was brutally killed.

Forced to have no choice, Wen Sheng'an decided to discuss the covenant again, but at this time, the Sanlaohui had been raised into a fierce tiger and could not despise a small piece of food.

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

A Sheng'an bank account that he worked so hard to establish has nothing to do with him anymore. He originally thought that it would be fine and he would not fight with them anymore, because he would never be able to get anything back by himself.

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

Being hungry and cold, he had to bow his head and go back to the city to ask for some money to live on. When he went there, some traders in the city began to intercede for Wen Sheng'an, and some even paid for it out of their own pockets.

When the leader, Mr. Yang, heard about it, he immediately arrested Wen Sheng'an and gave him a severe beating. Because, since they settled in this city, the three elders would repeat their old tricks and move the previous fire worship rituals to Min County.

Trying to re-establish a force of order that belongs to them.

Obviously, Wen Sheng'an's influence has affected a large number of people, and their fire worship rituals no longer have that sacred feeling. In order to wipe out people's hearts and rebuild their power, they disguised Wen Sheng'an as a sacrifice and came to the city every year.

Open the altar to worship fire and preside over the fire worship ceremony.

This year is only the third year. The Sanlaohui has completely wiped out the local people's respect for Wen Sheng'an. No one talks about Wen Sheng'an's saintliness anymore. When he is mentioned, more people will only think of him on the sacrificial altar.

That mysterious "Fire Saint" petitioner!

The banknotes in his arms had been folded and the writing was blurred. Looking at the sunset in the distance, he burst into tears. The scars on his broad back muscles seemed to be his way back in life.

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

A fair-skinned young man stopped on the slope and asked.

He weakly raised his finger and pointed behind him, and continued walking forward with eyes blank.

"Excuse me, has the Sanlaohui in this city delivered goods through this road recently?"

As soon as he heard the words "三老会", Wen Sheng'an immediately came back to his senses.

"You're doing business with the Sanlaohui? What do you do?"

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

"I am the shopkeeper of Qiaojiashan. Our goods are missing from the outlet on this road. The boss asked me to come and check it out!"

Wen Sheng'an asked in surprise: "People from Qiaojiashan? Are you Lian Shou or Lian Gui?"

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

Wen Sheng'an waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't worry about worldly affairs!"

"Junior Xu Yuan, I wonder who you are?"

Wen Sheng'an shook his head: "I am a person who has not yet died. If you want to die, just go ahead and don't stop me!"

Xu Yuan asked: "Are you not a member of the Sanlaohui?"

"No, never, not even to death!"

Xu Yuan was suddenly bored. He thought that after a few days of investigation, he found a suspicious person, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a refugee.

"Oh, sorry to disturb you, senior, it turns out we made a mistake!"

Wen Sheng'an felt that something was wrong about this matter. Could it be that the Three Elders had started a war? His face darkened, he pulled Xu Yuan aside and asked: "Young man, please explain clearly, what is the reason?"

Xu Yuan looked at the half-dressed middle-aged man in front of him, and his words were somewhat disgusted by the Sanlaohui. It seemed that the control of the Sanlaohui had not won the people's acceptance. It stands to reason that such a big action would surely alarm people.

All around, but the panicked look on this man's face clearly showed that he didn't know anything.

If it wasn't the Three Elders Association, then there was obviously a bigger black hand behind it. All of these seemed to be connected, and Wen Sheng'an seemed panicked.

It is inevitable that there is a bigger secret behind this matter. In order to hide it for the time being, Xu Yuan deceived: "Actually, I am a spy from the Three Elders Association!"

"Stop talking nonsense, young man. I can tell the difference between you and those people from your eyes. Tell me the truth, what is the purpose of the Three Elders Association? Who is behind them? Maybe I can
