Epilogue Twenty-Four Fake Handles
With the development of the Three Elders' Association's power, the downfall of the bank account, and the investigation by shopkeeper Qiao Jiashan, it seems that the arrow points to a larger conspiracy that is being carefully carried out.
The young man in front of him is still deliberately hiding something. Maybe he can hear some different news from him. After all, from the rapid rise of the Three Elders Association on this land, we can feel that everything that happened is not groundless.
Xu Yuan never pays attention to anyone who has nothing to do with him. Although Wen Sheng'an asked him many times, he still maintained an arrogant attitude.
He wished that everyone would know his identity, and wished that everyone would worship him as ignorantly as his minions. However, Wen Sheng'an didn't have that interest. Now he just wants to know if he was also killed by that black hand today.
Mark it inside.
Only now did he realize that it was impossible to sweep through the surrounding mountains within a month simply by relying on the power of the Three Elders Association when they first came, let alone blatantly go against Qiao Jiashan, who had become more powerful.
Unless someone wants to kill him secretly!
"Young people, maybe I can help you find the things that the Three Elders took away, but can you let me know what big things happened recently?"
Help us? Xu Yuan never expected that such words would come from a down-and-out refugee. With his shabby appearance, he could at most be like a servant. But what the master has told us is not a trivial matter. If he fails, he will never be able to return to life.
.
"There is some silver here for you to use, but you have to tell me the news about the Three Elders Association!" As Xu Yuan spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Sheng'an along with the paper receipt in his hand.
Li, continued: "This piece of paper clearly states what kind of goods it is. If you can find out anything, come to me at Cross Street in Qiaojiacheng. You tell me Shopkeeper Xu, they all know it!"
Wen Sheng'an quickly took the paper receipt and opened it. The names of some goods were clearly written on the paper. One of the goods shocked him, which was the twenty-five-car officer uniform made by Qiaojiashan Silk and Satin Company.
!
"Don't be surprised. Our Qiaojiashan's things have always been the guarantee of the caravan. I guess you have never seen such a big list in your life, right?"
"I've never seen it before. This is really a big deal! Okay, I will definitely investigate it as soon as I get any news!"
After Xu Yuan laughed wildly twice, he turned to look at the accountant beside him, and he was so proud that he almost forgot the purpose of his visit.
"Let's go!"
A bright white horse, a white mink fur robe, and a handsome young man are undoubtedly the most pleasing sight these days.
After Xu Yuan left, Wen Sheng'an's smile gradually faded. He checked the paper evidence in his hand repeatedly and learned an important piece of news.
The celestial phenomenon that blocked out the sun a few days ago and the streets were in chaos, it was said that there would never be a peaceful day in the northwest. That day was the coronation ceremony of the Northwest New Jin Army Iron War, and the silk and satin listed in the list was Qiao's.
Jiashan rushed to produce a batch of uniforms to please Tie Zhan.
So even if the Sanlaohui had great courage, they wouldn't dare to rob this batch of goods easily, right? What's more, with Tie Zhan's character, he would still sit firmly in the Tianjiao Mansion after such a big trouble occurred in the world?
Many puzzles seem to tell Wen Sheng'an an answer. The collapse of Sheng'an's bank account and the capture of the city by the Three Elders' Association are all a tightly controlled conspiracy.
At night, strong winds and hail hit the earth, and smoke was lit on the beacon tower at the 24th Pass outside Minxian City.
Outside the cave, the lumps of dirt rolling down the hillside were laughing in his fists. He had no choice but to cover the entrance of the cave with his clothes with several holes in his upper body.
The child was crying in the cave. Wen Sheng'an sat anxiously near the entrance of the cave and took out the ball of banknotes that had been rubbed out of the cinnabar and slowly spread it out. He choked and glanced at the father who was breathing rapidly and the child who was not one month old in the cave.
The muffled thunder sounded again, and he bent forward and walked into the cave to pick up the child.
"It's getting cold, and I don't have a winter coat yet..."
"Um…"
Mrs. Wen's voice was low and she flinched a little when she spoke.
Wen Sheng'an took out the only ingot from his waistband, glanced at his father who was resting in the cave with his eyes closed, secretly stuffed the ingot into the child's swaddling clothes, and quickly handed the child over to his wife.
"Huh? Sheng'an..."
The lady looked at Wen Sheng'an with some melancholy in his eyes, and felt his unspeakable secret. She put the child in the sheepskin robe she had spread, got up and pulled Sheng An to the entrance of the cave.
"Cash it for you?"
After hesitating for a long while, he nodded.
The lady bit her lip, wiped off a beautifully carved jade bracelet from her hand and said firmly: "I'll change this, it will be your capital, I believe you!"
On a very cold day, Wen Sheng'an felt a warmth in his body. His eyes were full of tears and he shook his head.
The lady took Wen Sheng'an's hand and held it tightly, and continued: "I know there are some mistakes, we can start over!"
He frowned, raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "I got two horses from the horse dealer today and tied them at the entrance of the cave. You..."
After the thunder, the lady's eyes were a little frightened, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Choking, he glanced at the child and closed his eyes reluctantly.
"You can leave tomorrow! Go back to Shanxi and I'll stay!"
"No! We have to go together, Yonghuai is still so young! He has lost a brother, and I don't want him to lose his father again!" The lady's eyes widened, and she held Wen Sheng'an's hand tighter.
He simply shook his heart, threw away his wife's hand, held back his tears and cursed in a low voice: "I, Wen Sheng'an, am a sinner! If you don't leave, you will be a burden to me!"
He tried to irritate his wife, for this parting might be some comfort to him.
After being married for so many years, how could Madam fail to understand Wen Sheng'an's intentions? He was really confused this time.
"If anything happens, we can discuss it. The child cannot live without his father. My father-in-law has a bad cough recently and needs someone to take care of him. If the money is gone, we can make money again. How can we support the family without him?"
Wen Sheng'an felt a little soft-hearted when he heard this, but then he thought about the people in the city. They didn't want to have a stable home.
"No, I've made up my mind!"
After that, with an angry look on his face, he stood up, threw away his wife and walked out of the cave.
The roar of the wind outside the cave, the cries of the children in the cave, and the feeble cry of his wife in the wind and snow made him want to look back several times. He knew that if he looked back again, his retreat would allow these evil people to commit crimes again.
bring about greater disaster.
Until we walked out of the valley, the strong wind gradually stopped.
An army of about forty people entered Minxian County in an orderly manner.
The beacon seems to have no effect and is simply a fake.
No, fake handle?
The twenty-four beacon towers outside the city have never been lit since the Sanlaohui entered the city, but they burned all night tonight. Could it be that something happened inside the city?
Wen Sheng'an quickly followed the army's footsteps and sneaked into the city.
Arriving at the gate of Sheng'an Courtyard, the leader of the army kicked open the door.
"Oh, it's Jun Ye!"
The leader took off his military cap and said nothing, as if he had never seen anyone in this yard before.
"The nine large and small forces around here have been settled. After all, you have to pay me seven thousand taels of silver!"
Chapter completed!
