Chapter 1175 Come and show
Within a week, the companies of many important figures related to Wei Men were subject to surprise inspections, and many prominent figures in Wei Men were called for questioning, including Meng Huaiyi, Huang Wanglin and others.
This storm swept through the entire Jiemen, and problems emerged one after another. The most serious problem was not the use of illegal medicinal materials, but the suspicion of joining forces to monopolize the market prices of medicinal materials and illegally obtain huge profits.
This sudden storm did not initially involve Xiahou Mulan and her Mulan Group.
But Xiahou Mulan cannot stay out of the matter. She is the acting sect leader of the Tired Sect. The members of the Tired Sect are having troubles one after another, so she must take action.
In fact, since the beginning of the 21st century, the organizational structure of Xiumen has been quite loose. Everyone works independently and does their own business. Mulan Group does not extract any fees from them, and there is no affiliation in terms of economy or business management. But one thing is that the pharmaceutical companies of these tired members purchase many raw materials from Mulan Group, which can be regarded as a form of tribute.
Therefore, the four elders made a special trip to Qiaocheng to meet Xiahou Mulan, hoping that she could come forward to calm the turmoil in front of her.
This is the first time that the four elders reunited after meeting in the capital.
Xiahou Mulan has also ordered the companies under the Mulan Group to conduct strict self-examination in the past two days to ensure that there are no problems with their medicinal materials and products. The storm is about to come, and she also has an ominous premonition that this storm will come sooner or later. onto them.
The four elders all had gloomy faces. Zhai Pingqing and Zha Youliang were not affected because they were not engaged in the medicinal materials industry, but they also expressed concerns about the current situation.
Meng Huaiyi was the first to attack: "Miss Xiahou, our family is in a troubled time. Many properties of our brothers have been investigated and liquidated. I hope that the current master can turn the tide and lead us out of this predicament."
Huang Wanglin nodded and said: "Yes, human kindness is more important than law. The new regulations were enacted ten years ago mainly because the people within the tired family were distracted and lacked the cohesion of the past. In the final analysis, everyone has lost their faith. In this era, they follow the trend and worship money. That’s why we decided to make some important reforms. From then on, everyone has greater autonomy and does not have to pay commissions to the door.”
Huang Wanglin didn't say anything. He was waiting to see Xiahou Mulan's reaction.
Meng Huaiyi sneered and said: "The master is really relieved about Miss Xiahou. It's no wonder. Mulan Group is fine. It doesn't matter to you."
After the commission was cancelled, everyone went their own way. In fact, the tired family has existed in name only since then. It has been ten years since the benefits were handed over. Now that something has happened, one by one comes to find fault with others, which is not justified emotionally or rationally.
Xiahou Mulan looked at Meng Huaiyi coldly and said: "What does Elder Meng mean by this? How could I ever say that this matter has nothing to do with me, why should I stand by and watch? If something happens to the tired family, of course I will find a way to solve it, but some things must be made clear. , If it turns out that some people have been wronged, I will naturally do my best to help, but if some people are found to be guilty, I cannot ignore the law just because they are disciples of the Tired Sect. "
Meng Huaiyi looked shocked: "You are the acting sect leader. How can you bear to turn a blind eye to the suffering of our brothers?"
Zhai Pingqing sighed and said: "Acting Master, just because this turmoil has not affected you, you cannot stay out of it. You must know that our tired disciples are in the same boat, and our lips are dead and our teeth are cold."
Xiahou Mulan said: "The master of the sect is in retreat. There is no need to alarm him for this kind of thing."
What Huang Wanglin said is true. If we follow the old rules, the disciples of the tired sect are responsible for turning over part of their profits to the sect leader on an annual basis. The commissions will be different depending on their status.
Xiahou Mulan frowned slightly. The recent events were very strange, as if they were a unified action against tired families. However, she also knew that there were more or less problems with the companies under investigation.
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Meng, you seem to have forgotten that according to the new rules established by the Weimen ten years ago, all the disciples of the Weimen are responsible for their own profits and losses in business and bear their own risks."
Zha Youliang, one of the four elders, belongs to the junior generation and rarely speaks on such occasions.
Meng Huaiyi said: "Elder Huang's words are wrong. What does it mean that human kindness is more important than the law? If something happens to the brothers in the sect, and everyone is standing by and watching, then why are we still doing nothing? Besides, we have done nothing illegal. Someone is clearly responsible this time. If you, the acting sect master, are making trouble against the tired sect, Miss Xiahou, then please ask the sect master to come out and ask him in person what should we do?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "I didn't say that I don't care. Times have changed now, and we can no longer use the old business methods. That's why we introduced new regulations ten years ago. Except for Elder Zha, all three of you participated." When formulating the new regulations, it should be very clear that the first rule of the new regulations is to abide by the law in business activities, and human kindness cannot exceed the law. "
Xiahou Mulan said **** for tat: "Since Elder Zhai understands the rules so thoroughly, how about you come forward to solve these problems?"
Zhai Pingqing was defeated by her and defeated an entire army. He secretly sighed that this little woman was not that easy to deal with. He smiled slightly and said: "The bigger the head, the bigger the hat. There is also a saying that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Miss Mulan is a substitute. Lord, everyone in the family is dedicated to you, how dare Zhai do it for me?" Xiahou Mulan said: "You are the one who said that you are in trouble, and you are the one who intends to stay out of the matter. Elder Zhai is right."
Zhai Pingqing didn't blush when she exposed him to her face. He sighed and said, "Why would we come to Qiaocheng to find you if we had a way? Who doesn't know that the relationship between Miss Mulan and the superior management department is extraordinary?"
Meng Huaiyi said: "When Elder Huang's Huiren Hall encountered trouble, he helped solve it on behalf of the sect leader."
Huang Wanglin didn't say much at first, but he couldn't remain silent after hearing this. He declared: "When something happened in Huiren Hall, I didn't ask Miss Xiahou for help. It was one of my little friends who helped solve the problem."
Meng Huaiyi smiled strangely: "It's not the same. Your little friend is Xu Chunliang. If he didn't care about his relationship with Miss Mulan, why would he help you?"
Xiahou Mulan's face turned red with anger after hearing his rude words: "Elder Meng, please respect yourself."
Meng Huaiyi said: "My coffin is almost empty. Is there anything I dare not say? Miss Mulan, as the acting head of the sect, you have the responsibility to solve the problems in front of the tired sect and lead everyone out of the predicament. If you don't have this ability, , please ask the sect leader to come out and take charge of the overall situation."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Meng, you have forgotten your identity."
Meng Huaiyi said: "I am the one who committed the crime, but Miss Mulan must not forget that you are only the acting sect leader now. If you have not passed the examination of the Six Skills of the Weary Sect in one day, you are not the legitimate leader of the Weary Sect."
Zhai Pingqing was secretly happy. Meng Huaiyi's public attack put Xiahou Mulan in an extremely embarrassing position. Currently, only Xiahou Zun can come out to stabilize the situation. If Xiahou Zun cannot hide, no one will accept this little girl.
Zha Youliang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Elder Meng, please respect yourself. According to the sect rules, when you exercise power on behalf of the sect leader, you are equivalent to the status of the sect leader. Elder Meng's words just now are suspected of offending the sect leader."
Meng Huaiyi was stunned for a moment and glared at Zha Youliang. Why did he pop up a bug by eating melon seeds? This person who succeeded him and got involved with the law enforcement elders based on his connections with his father dared to speak out and openly sided with Xiahou Mulan.
Zhai Pingqing did not expect that Zha Youliang would come forward to support Xiahou Mulan at this time, and said softly: "Elder Meng also cares about our brothers, so it is understandable that he is emotional."
Zha Youliang said: "No matter how excited you are, you still need to understand respect and inferiority. It is a taboo for the tired sect to commit the following offense. As the law enforcement elder of the tired sect, I have the right to ask you to apologize to the acting sect leader in person." He stood up and took a step forward. When he stepped on the bluestone ground with his right foot, he heard a click, and the bluestone under his feet cracked.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Meng Huaiyi took a breath of air. This guy was clearly showing his strength. If Xiahou Mulan gave the order, he could not rule out the possibility that this guy would take action against him.
Huang Wanglin said: "Everyone is worried about our own affairs, so we should calm down. Elder Meng, you are the oldest among us, and you know the rules of the other sect better than us. Even if you are anxious for the sake of your brothers, you should not be in the presence of Miss Mulan." Talk nonsense in front of me.”
Zhai Pingqing finally understood. The four elders also disagreed. He and Meng Huaiyi had reached an alliance, but Huang Wanglin clearly sided with Xiahou Mulan, but he didn't show it clearly. This Cha Youliang was something they didn't expect. , this guy has been silent all the time. I thought he was a connected person who followed what was said and acted according to the circumstances, but I didn't expect that this guy turned out to be Xiahou Mulan's die-hard loyalist.
Zha Youliang stared at Meng Huaiyi with sharp eyes and said, "Elder Meng, don't you know what we should do?"
Meng Huaiyi felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him like a wall, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He realized that if he didn't show anything, Cha Youliang would really dare to attack him on the spot.
Meng Huaiyi is old and cunning, and the words "I would rather break than bend" have nothing to do with him. He quickly bowed to Xiahou Mulan and clasped his fists: "On behalf of the sect master, I was anxious just now, and I hope you can forgive me for any offense I caused."
Xiahou Mulan said: "I can understand Elder Meng's mood. Don't be so angry at such an old age, otherwise your health will always be bad when you are angry, don't you think?" She took a few steps forward and went Supporting Meng Huaiyi: "Elder Meng, it's better to sit down."
Meng Huaiyi looked at her feet. Xiahou Mulan crushed a piece of bluestone with every step she took. She seemed to be walking lightly, but her feet contained the power to crack monuments and rocks. Meng Huaiyi couldn't believe his eyes.
Not only him, but the other three elders were also stunned. Xiahou Mulan was clearly showing off her strength. She didn't need Zha Youliang, the guardian elder, to take action. As long as she was willing, she could kick Meng Huaiyi to death on the spot.
