Chapter 1209 Physically and Mentally Exhausted

Huang Wanglin has aged visibly. He has no intention of reopening Linzheng Hall. He has recently made two major decisions. One is to donate all the cultural relics he has collected over the years to the country for free, and the other is to resign from the position of elder of Pimen and completely withdraw from Pimen.

Huang Wanglin is very clear that this disaster was entirely caused by the inside of Pimen. His support for Xiahou Mulan violated the interests of some people, so he suffered this revenge.

The person who planned this action also warned other members of Pimen by attacking him.

Huang Wanglin is tired. He lost his most beloved collection and almost lost his son. At his age, he can no longer withstand any bigger storms. He doesn't want to make any more mistakes.

Huang Wanglin went to Xu Chunliang to discuss something, and Xu Chunliang took the initiative to go to him.

Huang Wanglin asked Xu Chunliang to come to Huirentang.

Xu Chunliang has known Huang's father and son for some time, but they mostly met in Linzheng Hall and never went to Huirentang. Huirentang is also Huang's ancestral property and is much more famous in the Chinese medicine community than Huichuntang.

Xu Chunliang followed the address Huang Wanglin gave him and came to the back door of Huirentang. The back door was locked, but the small door next to it was open. In front of the door, there was an old man sitting on a worn rattan chair basking in the sun. He was the gatekeeper of Huirentang.

Xu Chunliang walked over and said hello, and took the initiative to report his name. The gatekeeper told him that Mr. Huang San was waiting for him in the backyard.

Walking into the small door was a small garden. This garden was incomparable to the garden of Mohan Dongfang. Most of the trees had lost their leaves at this season, and the exposed trunks were not very beautiful. The fish pond in the center should have not been cleaned for a while, and several koi were twisting their bodies lazily in the turbid water.

Huang Wanglin stood by the fish pond in a daze, and didn't even notice Xu Chunliang coming to him.

Xu Chunliang coughed to attract his attention. Huang Wanglin smiled apologetically: "Chunliang is here."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "This is my first time to Huirentang."

Huang Wanglin said: "The front is the clinic and pharmacy, and the backyard is a temporary resting place. I haven't been here for a long time."

Since handing Huirentang over to his son, Huang Wanglin rarely comes here. He thinks clearly about letting go when it's time to let go.

Xu Chunliang said: "This garden seems to have not been taken care of for a long time."

Huang Wanglin said: "Gongxian doesn't like these. The fish in the pond were put by me in the past. Many of them died."

He shook his head: "Let's go and sit inside."

Xu Chunliang followed him to the room on the west side. This is a suite with a study outside and a small bedroom inside. Before Huang Wanglin retired, he often rested here. The current owner has become Huang Gongxian, but Huang Gongxian rarely uses it, so it basically maintains the past layout.

Huang Wanglin brewed two cups of jasmine, one of which he handed to Xu Chunliang. Huang Wanglin has always been very particular about drinking tea, but he seems to be in no mood today.

Huang Wanglin said: "Chunliang, I really trouble you with the recent things."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Third Master, you have told me many times."

Huang Wanglin said: "I don't thank you for your great kindness. I am old and I am repeating myself."

Xu Chunliang said: "Third Master is still strong."

Huang Wanglin sighed and said: "No matter how strong a person is, he can't escape the word old. Chunliang, I came to you today to ask you, did Xie Dayandai ask you for anything?"

Because Xie Boxiang asked Xu Chunliang to discuss it alone that day, Huang Wanglin didn't know what they said, but with his experience, he could guess that Xie Boxiang must have put forward conditions.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Master Xie is a very kind person. He just chatted with me casually for a few words."

Huang Wanglin said, "Don't lie to me. I have known Xie Dayanpai for so many years. I know him very well. He is not willing to suffer any loss."

Xu Chunliang said, "Why would I lie to Master San?"

Huang Wanglin said, "He invited you and me to see his private collection that day. Is he planning to use those collections to cash in?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Master San is overthinking. Even if he wants to cash in, I don't have the ability to buy it."

"You don't have it, but Miss Xiahou has it. Does he want to tell Miss Xiahou through you?"

Xu Chunliang sighed that Huang Wanglin is an old man after all, and he can't hide such things from him.

Huang Wanglin said: "Chunliang, you and I have known each other for a while. Although we are of different ages, we have always gotten along well. You should have seen clearly what happened recently, but you just didn't point it out."

Xu Chunliang said: "I have always admired the Third Master."

Huang Wanglin said: "I have long understood the relationship between you and Miss Xiahou, and you should have known Miss Xiahou's identity for a long time."

Xu Chunliang nodded, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Huang Wanglin said: "In fact, I have long wanted to withdraw completely. What happened recently made me determined. I plan to donate the museum to the country. I can't help with Miss Xiahou's affairs."

Xu Chunliang did not speak. He could understand Huang Wanglin's decision, but if Huang Wanglin resigned from the position of elder at this time, it would not be good news for Xiahou Mulan.

Huang Wanglin said: "Although Xie Dayanpi's collection is very precious, some of the things are of unknown origin. There will be hidden dangers if I buy them. After thinking about it, I still want me to take them and donate them all to the country free of charge. In this way, everyone gets a desired result."

Xu Chunliang said: "Third Master, you are overthinking. Mulan has already agreed, and the price Master Xie wants is very reasonable."

Huang Wanglin said: "I am worried that this matter will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's the same for anyone who donates. Mulan has no intention of keeping it for herself. Moreover, she feels quite guilty about your family's affairs and feels that her affairs have caused you trouble."

Huang Wanglin shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with her."

Xu Chunliang said: "If it has nothing to do with it, why is Third Master so eager to quit instead of waiting for a few more months until Mulan passes the exam?"

Huang Wanglin was speechless. He knew that if he continued to side with Xiahou Mulan, he would most likely be retaliated against, so he wanted to stay away from right and wrong to stay safe.

Xu Chunliang said: "Is the third master willing to swallow this breath and let the real murderer go free?"

Huang Wanglin said: "The Skynet is very careful and meticulous. I'm old. I don't have the ability to catch the culprit with my own hands. I don't want my family to be put at any risk."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Did you know that Meng Huaiyi was involved in this matter?"

Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, there is really no need for Miss Xiahou to fight for this sect leader. The tired sect has long existed in name only."

Xu Chunliang said: "She doesn't want to fight for anything? But she doesn't want to fall into the hands of conspirators."

Huang Wanglin said: "Times have changed. Now it is a society ruled by law. Any social group must take the law as the criterion. The so-called sect rules and gang rules are now an abuse of lynching. Chunliang, please advise her not to be persistent."

Xu Chunliang said: "I know Mulan fairly well. In the past, she might have let it go. But it's different now. There are people who are making trouble internally and hurting their brothers and sisters. If such people are not found out, they will only become more rampant and cause trouble to the world." , I understand the third master’s concerns. I regard the third master as my elder and my friend. Even if you plan to let it go, I can’t. I will definitely settle this account with those people!”

Huang Wanglin felt a surge of passion in his heart. Xu Chunliang's words aroused his long-standing passion for the world, but he quickly suppressed it.

He has passed the age of impulsiveness. Any impulse will eventually pay a price. This lesson has been painful enough.

Huang Wanglin shook his head: "Forget it, let's leave everything to the police and solve the problem through legal means."

Xu Chunliang said: "If you want to completely solve the future troubles, you must make the enemy feel afraid, and make them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts."

At this time, Huang Wanglin's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and listened to what the other party said. His expression changed: "What? When did it happen?"

Xu Chunliang wondered to himself, could something bad happen again?

Huang Wanglin put down the phone and said to Xu Chunliang: "Meng Huaiyi is dead!"

Xu Chunliang was slightly startled. Meng Huaiyi fled the capital in a hurry. Xiahou Mulan threatened Meng Huaiyi with his family and went to Qiaocheng to meet, but Meng Huaiyi still escaped without saying a word. He thought that the old guy would find a safe place to hide, but suddenly News of his death came.

"How did you die?"

Huang Wanglin said: "Myocardial infarction occurred last night. I was sent to the hospital but could not be rescued."

Xu Chunliang felt that this incident was not an accident. It should be an act of murder and silence by the real culprit behind the scenes. If Meng Huaiyi is eliminated, the clues will be broken. This shows that the other party's methods are cold-blooded and decisive.

Huang Wanglin said: "He died in Qiaocheng."

Xu Chunliang was stunned. Didn't you mean that Meng Huaiyi didn't go to Qiaocheng, so why did he die in Qiaocheng again? He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Huang Wanglin said: "I must go over immediately to find out the matter." Meng Huaiyi, one of the four elders of the tired sect, died of a heart attack. It was impossible for Huang Wanglin, who was also an elder, not to come forward, and the incident occurred in Qiaocheng. He happened to meet Xiahou Mulan and took this opportunity to resign as an elder.

After Xu Chunliang left Huirentang, he contacted Xiahou Mulan. Because he was worried about Xiahou Mulan's situation, he originally wanted to rush to Qiaocheng to have a look. Xiahou Mulan told him not to worry. Meng Huaiyi's family requested an autopsy. Geniuses have clues. Regardless of whether Meng Huaiyi committed suicide or not, it is still an internal matter within the family, and it would be difficult for Xu Chunliang to intervene even if he passed.

On the contrary, Xie Boxiang must hurry up with the transaction and let Xu Chunliang transfer the house to Xie Boxiang as Xia Houzun. Only Xu Chunliang has the ability to deceive everyone and transfer the house to him reasonably and legally.

Xiahou Mulan will reveal the news of Xiahou Zun's appearance in the capital, in order to frighten the troublemakers within the tired family.

At the same time, Zeng Yuanqing also got the exact time and place of the ghost market auction. It will be tomorrow night and the place will be on the sea near Jinmen New Port. When the time comes, Pu Jian and Zeng Yuanqing will go together.

Mo Han also contacted Xu Chunliang, and she promised to go to help, but she also had a condition, Xu Chunliang must go with her.
