Zhai Pingqing's dinner ended unhappily because of Xu Chunliang's disturbance. On the way back, Zhai Pingqing got off the car and asked the driver to send Qin Yujiao back first.
Autumn is getting stronger, the wind is blowing at night, and fallen leaves are flying everywhere. Zhai Pingqing habitually turns up his collar and walks towards Zhushan Zen Monastery.
Zhuzhushan Zen Monastery is a newly built Buddhist temple. Usually the incense is not very popular. At night, the front door is even more deserted. The Nuo Da Zen Monastery is deserted.
Zhai Pingqing came to the mountain gate and knocked on the door knocker. After a while, someone came and opened the side door.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged monk. When he saw Zhai Pingqing, he immediately joined him respectfully. Zhai Pingqing donated a lot of money to this place.
Zhai Pingqing asked: "Master is there?"
The middle-aged monk said respectfully: "Donor Zhai, please come with me."
Zhai Pingqing followed the middle-aged monk to the monk's dormitory area. He knew the layout of the place very well. Currently, there were only five monks here, and one of them came to help.
The middle-aged monk came to the lighted meditation room and knocked on the door. After hearing the response, he excused himself to Zhai Pingqing Heshi.
Zhai Pingqing opened the door and walked in. Inside, an old man and an old monk sat cross-legged opposite each other.
It was in the capital that the old monk attacked Xia Houzun in order to avenge his nephew Yan Hong, but his martial arts skills were revoked. The old man was Meng Huaiyi, one of the four elders of the tired sect.
At that time, Meng Huaiyi attacked Yuan Rong in order to rescue the sect leader. He beat Yuan Rong on the spot until he vomited blood. Everyone thought that Meng Huaiyi had abolished Yuan Rong's martial arts. However, only the person involved knew the real story. Meng Huaiyi didn't even have 50% of his strength when he took action.
, before he hit Yuanrong, Yuanrong had already been harmed by Xiahou Zun, so this debt was really not his fault, otherwise they would not be able to sit together.
Zhai Pingqing's arrival did not arouse any reaction from Yuanrong. Meng Huaiyi said with a smile: "I thought Mr. Zhai would never see us poor friends."
Zhai Pingqing said: "How can Elder Meng say this? Is it possible that my younger brother is being negligent?"
Meng Huaiyi said: "Mr. Zhai is very busy with his business and has many things to do every day. It is already very valuable that he can come and see us despite his busy schedule. How can we feel that we are being neglected?"
Zhai Pingqing knew the temperament of the old guy Meng Huaiyi very well. He always thought that he was the oldest among the four elders, but the reality was that he was the worst among the four elders. Not to mention himself and Huang Wanglin, even Zha Youliang was
Much stronger than him.
Meng Huaiyi couldn't blame others. Times have changed now. Who still engages in those despicable businesses? His main business is still purchasing expired drugs, manufacturing counterfeit drugs, and frantically testing the edges of the law all day long.
If Meng Huaiyi was not currently valuable, Zhai Pingqing would disdain to associate with such people, and the same goes for Yuanrong. They have failed to keep up with the trend of the times and will soon be completely eliminated.
However, these two people still have a certain degree of influence within Wei Men, and Zhai Pingqing still needs to do some superficial work to reach an alliance with them.
Yuan Rong, who had been silent all this time, sighed and said: "Elder Zhai also has his own difficulties, so there is no need to force Elder Meng."
Zhai Pingqing sat down cross-legged around the small square table. Yuanrong poured him a cup of tea, and naturally smelled the alcohol on his body.
Zhai Pingqing asked: "Master, is your health feeling better?"
Yuanrong said: "Thanks to Elder Zhai's care, although the poor monk's body has recovered, he has become a disabled person."
Meng Huaiyi said: "It's not that Xia Houzun is ruthless, he has not shown any affection to you and him for so many years."
Yuan Rong said sadly: "Wu Yuanyi, who saved his life, was also eliminated by him? My poor nephew is alive and dead but not his body."
Meng Huaiyi said: "Xiahou Zun is rebellious, regardless of the interests of the family, and for his own selfishness, he does not hesitate to kill his brothers. How can we sit back and ignore it." After he finished speaking, he turned his attention to Zhai Pingqing: "Elder Zhai, what do you think we should do?
"
Zhai Pingqing said: "He now wants to pass on the position of sect leader to his daughter. If Xiahou Mulan passes the examination of the six skills of the tired sect, we have nothing to say and can only regard her as the master."
Meng Huaiyi snorted coldly and said: "How can the six skills of fatigue be so easy to master? You think too highly of Xiahou Mulan."
Zhai Pingqing said: "Everything has exceptions. If Xiahou Zun thinks it is impossible, he will not accept the conditions of the assessment."
Yuan Rong nodded and said, "That's right, Xia Houzun rarely does anything he's not sure about."
Meng Huaiyi said: "So what? We have put a tight curse on Xiahou Mulan. I don't believe she can never marry."
Zhai Pingqing said: "The tightening curse is just a formality. Once Xiahou Mulan becomes the sect leader, she can naturally abandon it."
Yuan Rong said: "If the tired door fell into the hands of a woman, wouldn't it be the laughing stock of others?"
Meng Huaiyi said: "You can't say that, the Orchid Gate is not the same as falling into the hands of women."
Zhai Pingqing frowned in displeasure. He still had a wait-and-see attitude towards Meng Huaiyi. Meng Huaiyi was an old fox. In fact, he didn't care who was the head of the sect. What he really cared about was his own interests, but harmony.
Mulan's opposition to Xiahou Mulan was more determined. Yuanrong's nephew Yan Hong should have died in the hands of Xiahou Zun. Even though Yuanrong had become a monk, he regarded Yan Hong as his son. He must be responsible for this debt.
Repayed.
Zhai Pingqing said: "I originally wanted to have a good talk with the sect master, but now he has disappeared. Since he appeared in the capital, he has lost contact with the outside world."
Meng Huaiyi sneered and said: "He is really comfortable as the sect leader. In recent years, he has simply handed over the affairs of the sect to his daughter because of seclusion. He has not fulfilled the responsibilities of the sect leader at all. If he did not show up in the capital last time, I would have thought
He is dead."
Yuan Rong said: "Actually, his daughter is already in charge of the tired family."
Zhai Pingqing said: "If it falls into the hands of Xiahou Mulan, it will be fine. At least she is the sect leader, but there is someone we have to guard against."
Meng Huaiyi whispered: "Xu Chunliang?"
Zhai Pingqing nodded and said: "According to the information I have, the boy named Xu has an extremely close relationship with Xiahou Mulan. Not only do they support each other in their careers, but they may also be lovers in private."
Meng Huaiyi smiled maliciously and said: "Maybe we have slept with each other a long time ago. Damn it, doesn't my father-in-law even know that the owner of the door has been taken advantage of?"
The other two people didn't smile, and Yuanrong said: "As far as I know, the disappearance of my nephew is also related to Xu Chunliang."
Zhai Pingqing said: "Maybe the culprit who killed your nephew is this person."
Yuan Rong clenched his fists and seemed to agree with Zhai Pingqing's statement.
Meng Huaiyi said: "That boy named Xu is so young, how can he be so courageous? No way, he is a member of the system."
Zhai Pingqing laughed and said: "People in the system, you have forgotten the Jue Sect. Their methods of doing things are even more ruthless than the Five Poison Sect."
Yuan Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, there are many sanctimonious people with human faces and animal hearts."
Zhai Pingqing said: "If Xiahou Mulan successfully becomes the sect leader, it means that our entire sect will fall into the hands of Xu Chunliang in the future."
Meng Huaiyi said: "Why? How can he control the tired family? A shrewd woman like Xiahou Mulan should not be so confused."
Zhai Pingqing said: "Once a woman is emotional, she cannot act according to common sense."
Meng Huaiyi said: "Elder Zhai, what do you think we should do?"
Zhai Pingqing said: "Power is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it can be used to any disadvantage. If you use it poorly, it will hurt yourself. If something happens to the tired family, as the acting head of the tired family, it is natural for Xiahou Mulan to come out to put out the fire.
, if she can't put out this fire..."
Zhai Pingqing deliberately did not finish this sentence and looked at Meng Huaiyi and Yuan Rong respectively.
Meng Huaiyi said: "Then the fire will burn herself first."
Yuanrong said: "But how should we set the fire?"
Zhai Pingqing said: "Not long ago, an incident of counterfeit and shoddy medicinal materials broke out in Dongzhou. At that time, the Mulan Group was also involved."
Meng Huaiyi nodded and said: "I know about this, but it turned out later that it has nothing to do with Mulan Group."
Zhai Pingqing said: "This incident inspired me. How did Mulan Group start? Others don't know, but I know very well. The owner kicked Wu Yuanyi out. He forgot how Wu Yuanyi helped him back then. Wu Yuanyi's
I hold too many secrets about him in my hands. Some things will remain in your memory as long as you do them, and you cannot wash them away if you want."
Meng Huaiyi reminded: "Mulan Group is now a key enterprise supported by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It may not be easy to move them down."
Zhai Pingqing chuckled and said: "Who said we have to deal with the Mulan Group? The brothers of the tired clan are in the same spirit. If one side is in trouble, all parties will support it. As the leader of the clan, it is the unshirkable responsibility. If something happens to the brothers of the tired clan, and Xiahou and his daughter sit back and ignore it, they will
It proves that their moral integrity is not worthy of their role. If they help, they will unknowingly get into trouble."
Meng Huaiyi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.
Yuanrong said: "I seem to understand where to light the fire."
Cao Bingyi, the president of Shennong Group, was taken away by the police on the first day of November. The reason was that two processing plants owned by Shennong Group were found to stock a large amount of prohibited medicinal materials during a surprise inspection.
Ingredients strictly prohibited by the state were found in traditional Chinese medicine pieces.
For Cao Bingyi, this was a disaster. Since he changed his mind and supported Xiahou Mulan, he finally recovered. The medical management department relaxed supervision on him, and Shennong Group also entered the list of supplementary support from the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
, when everything was going in a good direction, who would have thought that this would happen.
Cao Bingyi's first reaction was that he had made a mistake. But when the regulatory authorities produced the corresponding test report, Cao Bingyi's heart sank to the bottom. If the charges were proven, he would inevitably go to jail.
He stated that he had no knowledge and that there must have been a problem somewhere in the production process.
The police came prepared this time and produced evidence of his illegal purchase and collection of medicinal materials in the past, including records of transactions with Wu Yuanyi.
Wu Yuanyi not only had transactions with the Shennong Group, he was also a very important figure in the Weimen in the past. Even the sect leader Xia Houzun had to give him some face, and it was impossible for others not to buy it.
