Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1209 Exhausted physically and mentally

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

Huang Wanglin knew very well that this disaster was entirely caused by someone from within the Pimen sect. His support for Xiahou Mulan violated the interests of some people, so he suffered this revenge.

The person who planned this action also sent a warning to other members of the Pimen by targeting him.

Huang Wanglin was tired. He had lost his most beloved collection and almost lost his son. At his age, he could not withstand any more storms and he did not want to make any more mistakes.

Huang Wanglin went to Xu Chunliang and said he had something to discuss, and Xu Chunliang offered to go to his place.

Huang Wanglin asked Xu Chunliang to come to Huirentang.

Xu Chunliang has known the Huang father and son for some time, but they mostly met at Linzheng Hall and had never been to Huirentang. Huirentang was also an ancestral property of the Huang family and was much more famous in the traditional 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, an old man was sitting on a tattered rattan chair basking in the sun. He was the gatekeeper of Huirentang.

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

Walking in through the small door is a small garden. This garden is incomparable to the garden in Mohan Oriental. Most of the trees have lost their leaves at this season, and the exposed trunks are not very beautiful. The fish pond in the center has not been cleaned for some time, and a few koi are 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 over.

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

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "This is my first time in Huirentang."

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

Since handing Huirentang over to his son, Huang Wanglin seldom comes here. He knows clearly that he should let go when it is time to let go.

Xu Chunliang said: "It seems that this garden has not been taken care of for a long time."

Huang Wanglin said: "Gongxian doesn't like these. The fish in the pond were put there by me in the past, and 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. It was a suite with a study outside and a small bedroom inside. Huang Wanglin often rested here before he retired. The current owner has become Huang Gongxian, but Huang Gongxian rarely uses it, so the previous layout is basically maintained.

Huang Wanglin brewed two cups of jasmine tea and handed one to Xu Chunliang. Huang Wanglin has always been very particular about drinking tea, but he didn't seem to be in the mood today.

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

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

Huang Wanglin said: "I don't need to thank you for your kindness. It's because I'm old and I'm talking nonsense."

Xu Chunliang said: "Third Master is still strong despite his old age."

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

Because Xie Boxiang had a private discussion with Xu Chunliang that day, Huang Wanglin didn't know what they talked about, but with his experience he could guess that Xie Boxiang must have put forward some conditions.

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

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 the kind of person who would suffer any loss."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Why would I lie to the Third Master?"

Huang Wanglin asked, "That day he invited you and me to go and see his private collection. Was he planning to use that collection to cash in?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Third Master, you are worrying too much. Even if he wants to cash it out, I don't have the ability to buy it."

"You didn't, but Miss Xiahou did. Did he want to tell Miss Xiahou through you?"

Xu Chunliang secretly sighed that Huang Wanglin was an old hand after all and such things could not be hidden from him.

Huang Wanglin said, "Chunliang, you and I have known each other for a while. Although there is a big age gap between us, we have always gotten along well. You should have seen clearly what has happened in the recent period, but you just didn't point it out."

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

Huang Wanglin said: "I have long understood the relationship between you and Miss Xiahou. You should have known Miss Xiahou's identity long ago."

Xu Chunliang nodded, as a sign of agreement.

Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, I have wanted to withdraw completely for a long time. Recent events have 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 Dayanpai's collection is very precious, some of the items are of unknown origin. There will be hidden dangers if I buy them. After much thought, I decided to take them and donate them all to the country free of charge. In this way, everyone will get what they want."

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

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

Xu Chunliang said, "It doesn't matter who donates. Mulan has no intention of taking it for herself. Besides, she feels guilty about your family affairs and thinks that it is her affairs that have implicated you."

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

Xu Chunliang asked, "If it's irrelevant, why is Third Master so eager to withdraw, and not willing to wait a few more months until Mulan passes the assessment?"

Huang Wanglin was speechless. He knew that if he continued to stand on Xiahou Mulan's side, he would most likely be retaliated against, so he wanted to stay away from trouble and protect himself.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Will Third Master be willing to swallow this anger and let the real murderer go unpunished?"

Huang Wanglin said: "The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. I am old and I don't have the ability to catch the murderer myself. I don't want my family to be at risk."

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

Huang Wanglin said: "In fact, Miss Xiahou really has no need to fight for the position of Sect Leader. The Pi Sect has long been in name only."

Xu Chunliang said: "She doesn't want to fight for anything. She just doesn't want the Pi Sect to fall into the hands of conspirators."

Huang Wanglin said, "Times have changed. Now we live in a society ruled by law. Any social group must abide by the law. The so-called sect rules and gang rules are now abuses of lynching. Chunliang, you should persuade her and don't be so persistent."

Xu Chunliang said, "I know Mulan well. She might have let it go in the past, but it's different now. Someone is stirring up trouble inside and hurting fellow brothers. If such a person is not caught, he will become more rampant and cause harm to the world. I understand Third Master's concerns. I regard Third Master as my elder and my friend. Even if you plan to give up, I can't. I must settle this account with those people!"

Huang Wanglin felt his blood boiling; Xu Chunliang's words aroused his long-buried passion for martial arts, but he quickly suppressed it.

He is no longer at the age of being impulsive. Any impulsiveness will eventually come at a price, and this lesson is already painful enough.

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

Xu Chunliang said: "If we want to completely solve the problem, we must make the enemy feel scared, 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 the other party's words. His face changed: "What? When did it happen?"

  Xu Chunliang wondered to himself, could something bad have happened again?

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

Xu Chunliang was slightly startled. Meng Huaiyi hurriedly fled the capital. Xiahou Mulan threatened Meng Huaiyi with his family and asked him to go to Qiaocheng to meet him, but Meng Huaiyi still ran away without saying a word. He thought the old guy would find a safe place to hide, but he didn't expect to hear the news of his death suddenly.

"How did you die?"

Huang Wanglin said: "Myocardial infarction, it happened last night, he was sent to the hospital but couldn't be saved."

Xu Chunliang felt that this was not an accident, but an act of murder by the real murderer behind the scenes to silence the witnesses. If Meng Huaiyi was eliminated, the clues would be cut off. This shows that the other party's methods were cold-blooded and decisive.

Huang Wanglin said: "He died in Qiaocheng."

Xu Chunliang was stunned. Didn't they say that Meng Huaiyi didn't go to Qiaocheng? How could he die in Qiaocheng? He suddenly had a bad feeling.

Huang Wanglin said, "I must go there immediately to get to the bottom of this matter." Meng Huaiyi, one of the four elders of the Pi Men, died of a heart attack. Huang Wanglin, who was also an elder, could not help but show up. Moreover, the incident happened in Qiaocheng. He happened to meet Xiahou Mulan and took this opportunity to resign from the position of elder.

After Xu Chunliang left Huirentang, he contacted Xiahou Mulan. Worried about Xiahou Mulan's situation, he wanted to rush to Qiaocheng to check on her. Xiahou Mulan told him not to worry. Meng Huaiyi's family has requested an autopsy, and it will take a few days to get any results. Whether Meng Huaiyi was murdered or not, it is an internal matter of the Pimen, and Xu Chunliang would not be able to intervene even if he went there.

On the contrary, Xie Boxiang had to hurry up with the deal and let Xu Chunliang transfer the house to Xie Boxiang in the identity of Xiahou Zun. Only Xu Chunliang had the ability to deceive everyone and transfer the house to him legally and reasonably.

Xiahou Mulan will leak the news that Xiahou Zun appears in the capital to deter those who are causing trouble within the Bi Men.

At the same time, Zeng Yuanqing also learned the exact time and location of the ghost market auction, which is tomorrow night, at the sea near Tianjin Port. Pu Jian and Zeng Yuanqing will go there together.

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

　On the first day of the month, please guarantee the minimum monthly ticket.
