Chapter 1176 Tit for tat
Meng Huaiyi received two threats in a short period of time, which inevitably made him feel frightened.
Zhai Pingqing saw this and realized that things were not going as smoothly as he imagined. What he knew about Xiahou Mulan was that she was very business-minded. This was evidenced by the prosperous running of the Mulan Group during Xiahou Zun's years of seclusion. However, he They didn't know much about Xiahou Mulan's martial arts, so Xiahou Mulan's public display in this way today was telling them that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Zhai Pingqing felt a little bad. Maybe he had underestimated Xiahou Mulan's strength. Maybe it was not known that she could really pass the test of the Six Weary Skills.
Xiahou Mulan sighed softly and said: "The quality of the ground is too bad. It will have to be replaced tomorrow."
Huang Wanglin secretly laughed in his heart, how could Xia Houzun's daughter be so easy to mess with? This time Zhai Pingqing summoned them to force the palace, and they were obviously kicked on the iron plate.
Meng Huaiyi said: "Yes, I have seen what it means to be a shoddy project."
Huang Wanglin said in his heart that this old guy is so shameless. They are just here for you, but you still don’t feel embarrassed.
Zhai Pingqing calmly took a sip of tea and said, "How does Miss Mulan plan to solve the current dilemma that the tired family is facing?"
Xiahou Mulan sat back in her seat and said with a smile: "I want to listen to the opinions of the elders first." She identified Zhai Pingqing as the culprit who forced the palace today, so she kept her eyes on him.
Meng Huaiyi had been shocked twice and did not dare to come forward in a short period of time. Zhai Pingqing naturally could not continue to hide behind and fan the flames. He put down the tea cup: "As far as I know, Miss Xiahou has a very close relationship with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Okay, can you use your connections to control the impact as soon as possible before things get too big?"
Xiahou Mulan asked: "Where did Elder Zhai get the news?"
Zhai Pingqing is hinting that Xiahou Mulan's Mulan Group will not escape the impact. He is now mainly engaged in health care and has been least affected.
The four elders all acted as if they were all ears.
Zhai Pingqing said: "There is also a saying that there is no excuse to accuse someone. With all due respect, Wei Men's business in the medicinal materials market is in an absolutely leading position. I don't know how many colleagues are jealous, and I don't know how many people secretly want something to happen to you. , Everyone should understand the truth that everything will survive when a whale falls. At a critical moment, we hope that everyone will put aside their own selfish interests and work together to overcome the difficulties. "
Zhai Pingqing's expression was stunned. Xiahou Mulan kicked the ball back to him. If he didn't catch it, Xiahou Mulan would say that he was indifferent to his brothers and that it had nothing to do with him. If he followed, if something happened to another brother , Xiahou Mulan would say that his execution was poor.
Meng Huaiyi did not want to cause this trouble, so he hurriedly said: "I am also the subject of key monitoring now. The Ni Bodhisattva cannot save himself when crossing the river, so how can he still have the energy to take care of these things?"
Zhai Pingqing's words were impassioned and righteous, but Xiahou Mulan could tell that this guy had some bad intentions.
Zhai Pingqing frowned and said: "This matter is of great importance, I..."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Things that are purified will be purified themselves. Things we have not done cannot withstand investigation."
Xiahou Mulan looked at Huang Wanglin and said, "Since you guys agree so much, I'll leave this matter to..." She paused deliberately at this point. Everyone thought she would leave this matter to Huang Wanglin, but they didn't expect her to change the subject. Redirect: "Leave it to Elder Zhai to take charge!"
Zhai Pingqing did not answer her question directly, but continued: "If this storm continues, it is likely to affect everyone here. If nothing else, just one person joins forces to monopolize the market and raises the price of medicinal materials. If it is implemented, the Yaozong brothers will be unable to hold their heads up. "
Xiahou Mulan said: "It is natural to find ways to solve the problems that have been found. Those that have not been found may not necessarily have no problems, so we should take precautions, conduct self-examination first, solve the problems found in time, and eliminate hidden dangers. Only in this way can we prevent bad things. The impact is further expanded.”
Xiahou Mulan smiled and said: "If you feel that you can't take care of everything on your own, you can ask Elder Meng to help you."
Huang Wanglin said: "What Miss Mulan said is absolutely true." The other three people also nodded.
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Zhai's words make sense. I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible."
Xiahou Mulan said: "It makes sense. In this case, Elder Zhai has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility."
Xiahou Mulan said: "With Elder Zhai's ability, it is not difficult as long as you do it well with all your heart."
Now everyone understands that Xiahou Mulan has blocked Zhai Pingqing's retreat, which means that as long as Zhai Pingqing is willing to do it, he can definitely do it well. If you can't do it well, it means you haven't tried your best. Zhai Pingqing didn't get any advantage by coming this time, so how could he be willing to leave just like that? The topic changed and he asked: "The date for the Sixth Skills Examination is approaching, how are you preparing for Miss Mulan?"
Xiahou Mulan smiled calmly and said: "Elder Zhai, don't worry. For me, the six skills test is just a formality. The top priority is to solve the crisis in front of the tired gate. The tired gate is in a precarious situation, and I think everyone in the gate should The priority is to respond to this crisis, and people cannot be shaken at this critical moment, so I propose to postpone the June 1st assessment for one month. What do you think, elders?"
Zhai Pingqing really wanted to slap him in the face. Why did he take the six-skills assessment when he had nothing to do? This gave Xiahou Mulan an opportunity to delay. She asked for an extension because she was not ready yet.
Zhai Pingqing secretly winked at Meng Huaiyi, and Meng Huaiyi told me to rush ahead. He immediately said: "The date that has been set can't be changed at will. Now everyone in the family knows about the Six Skills Assessment, and they expect Miss Mulan to be just and right." How can you disappoint the brothers in the sect if you ascend to the position of sect leader?"
Cha Youliangdao: "Which is more important, the response to the immediate crisis or the six skills assessment? Extraordinary things need to be done in extraordinary times."
Huang Wanglin said: "I also think Miss Mulan is right. Miss Mulan has to lead us to solve the crisis we are facing. There is no time to prepare for the assessment. It is natural to postpone it for a month."
Zhai Pingqing finally understood that Huang Wanglin was always on Xiahou Mulan's side at the critical moment. Maybe Zha Youliang was the one who arranged for him to take the lead. The four elders were tied two to two, plus the acting sect leader Xiahou Mulan, he and Meng Huaiyi On the contrary, she is at a disadvantage, and Xiahou Mulan's request to postpone the assessment is very good. If she insists on disagreeing, it will be obvious that she is targeting Xiahou Mulan, hoping that she will not pass the six skills assessment.
Just one month. He didn’t believe that Xiahou Mulan could successfully pass the Sixth Skills Assessment if he delayed it for one month? Even if she can pass, the crisis in front of her is enough for her to drink a pot. Now is just the beginning, there will be bigger trouble waiting for her next.
Thinking of this, Zhai Pingqing nodded and said: "In this case, I also agree to postpone the Six Skills Assessment for one month."
Meng Huaiyi was extremely depressed. Zhai Pingqing didn't care about me. We agreed on an offensive and defensive alliance, and I climbed up. You pulled my ladder away. How can I step down now?
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Meng, we all know very well what you do for a living, and this time the trouble of the tired family is also caused by you."
Meng Huaiyi's current main business scope is to purchase and sell expired drugs, manufacture and sell counterfeit goods. In the 21st century, people in the tired family have also kept pace with the times. Very few people are doing this kind of shameless business anymore. It is not only unethical. The risk is still extremely high. Meng Huaiyi has been in the business because of this kind of thing in the past, but he is not good at anything other than these businesses.
Meng Huaiyi was exposed in front of Xiahou Mulan, and his old face became hot: "What do you think Miss Mulan said? How can you put all the responsibility on me?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "You know what you have done. As one of the four elders and one of the few elders of the tired sect, you should be strict with yourself, abide by the law and become a role model for the brothers in the sect. Ask yourself, when Do you deserve the words "high moral character and high prestige"?
Meng Huaiyi still wants to distinguish.
Xiahou Mulan didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "I'm disrespectful to an old man, I'm acting as a coward to a tiger!" As he spoke, it was Zhai Pingqing who was staring at him with a pair of calm eyes.
Meng Huaiyi was a little angry and said: "I have dedicated my whole life for the sake of my tired family. I have sacrificed my life and forgotten death for most of my life. What qualifications do you, a yellow-haired girl, have to teach me?"
Zha Youliangdao said: "Elder Meng, if the acting sect leader is not qualified, then no one in the entire tired sect will be qualified."
Meng Huaiyi pointed at Zha Youliang and roared: "Shut up, you only entered the tired gate because of your father's favor. Who doesn't know how you got your position?"
Zha Youliang said: "Elder Meng, if you insult me, I don't have to argue with you. You insult my father, but I can't swallow it." He cupped his fists and bowed to Xiahou Mulan: "On behalf of the sect leader, Meng Huaiyi insulted my father. According to the sect, I have the right to challenge him to a duel."
Meng Huaiyi's heart instantly sank, and he was afraid of his young strength, not to mention that Cha Youliang himself was a master. Looking at the ground that had not yet been cleared up, he swallowed his saliva.
Xiahou Mulan said: "What do you think of Elder Meng?"
Meng Huaiyi chuckled and said: "It seems that you have colluded to bully me, an old man, okay, okay, okay!" He said three good words, but in the end he did not nod to accept the challenge. He was not stupid. He really wanted to fight against Cha Youliang. , shall not be beaten to death.
Meng Huaiyi did not forget to look at Zhai Pingqing when he was talking, cursing in his heart, "What the hell, you can help me, isn't it because of you that I am in this predicament?"
Zhai Pingqing said: "No wonder the tired family has been declining in recent years. The external crisis is imminent. Instead of thinking about working together to deal with the outside world, internal fighting started first. Miss Mulan, do you really want to see the same family fighting against each other?"
Xiahou Mulan smiled slightly: "It is not always the same sect that kills opponents from the same sect. Most of the actions taken by the law enforcement elders are to clean up the sect."
