The sun was shining, the wind in the spring was very warm, Han Mo and Pei Yinghou left the East Flower Hall, rode back, and walked on the quiet Tianhe Street, their horses were not far away.

Han Mo didn't speak, and Pei Yinghou didn't dare to ask, and the two were silent for a while.

In Pei Yinghou's opinion, the success of this begging for money is really small, Princess Xiu has not been paid for three years, and she has her own thoughtful calculations, and she will not change her original intention just because a young family like Han Mo comes to the door.

Young people are motivated and driven, and although this is a good thing, the results are often very different from what was envisaged.

At the beginning of Han Mo's tenure, he begged for money for the West Flower Hall, and Pei Yinghou appreciated this drive and courage, but at the beginning he felt that this matter was too difficult, although Han Mo had the support of the Han family behind him, but to fight with Princess Xiu, who was extremely powerful in the royal family, the odds of winning were really not big.

Because of this, seeing what Han Mo had been thinking about since he came out, Pei Yinghou was even more silent.

"Master Pei, I met Princess Xiu!" Han Mo said suddenly.

Pei Yinghou saw that Han Mo took the initiative to mention it, and said: "My lord, this matter is not an easy thing to do, and the matter that has been delayed by the inner library for three years is not something that can be decided overnight. ”

He wanted to comfort Han Mo first, but if he couldn't do it, he couldn't blame Han Mo.

Han Mo smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Pei Yinghou, and said, "You really guessed wrong this time. ”

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

"This matter should have a result overnight." Han Mo said: "We can go back and wait for news now, either we are waiting for the silver, or we are waiting for the ...... Holy will! ”

"The will of God?" Pei Yinghou didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Han Mo smiled faintly: "Either remove me, or abolish the ...... of the West Flower Hall!" ”

Pei Yinghou was stunned for a moment, and then showed surprise.

Han Mo didn't dwell too much on this issue, and before Pei Yinghou could recover from his surprise, he had already asked, "Will Red Sleeves use poison?" Last time in Xishikou, what kind of poison did he use? ”

Pei Yinghou calmed down and replied: "Red Sleeves has been in a pharmacy for three years, and she knows a lot about the production and use of medicines, and her ability to poison is also very clever, which is why she has the code name Red Scorpion...... Scorpions are poisonous, so this code name is placed on the body of the Red Sleeves, which is very appropriate. ”

Han Mo sighed and said, "A beautiful little girl, mixed with these poisons, is really heart-wrenching. ”

Pei Yinghou smiled and said, "Don't look at the young age of the red sleeves, she is now a veteran of the West Flower Hall." She was only eleven years old when she came out of the Pharmacy Division, and she was the youngest clerk in the Four. After a pause, his expression became serious: "Elder Gongyan once said that since you have entered the West Flower Hall, you must forget who you are, but you must remember that everything we do is for this country, and every time we kill someone, we may be able to save a hundred more people." Red sleeves have been personally taught by Gongyan Lao, so for the West Flower Hall, no one dares to doubt her loyalty, and her ability has been recognized by everyone over the years, whether it is spying intelligence, assassination and sabotage, tracking and surveillance, she is my first-class hand in the West Flower Hall. ”

Han Mo nodded and said, "I believe in this very much!" ”

"Although there are not many people in the West Flower Hall at present, as long as the adults give an order, we will go all out." Pei Yinghou said respectfully: "In fact, the West Flower Hall is not as weak as outsiders seem. ”

Han Mo smiled and said, "Could it be that there is any treasure hidden?" ”

Pei Yinghou laughed and said, "There is no baby." He urged him to step forward, getting closer to Han Mo, and then said in a low voice: "After the establishment of the East Flower Hall, in a few years, all the affairs of the West Flower Hall have been taken over, and there are forty or fifty people in the West Flower Hall who defect to the door of the East Flower Hall. This group of people, mainly foreign officials, Wei and Qing have it, many of them defected to the East Flower Hall because of the situation, if one day the adults really want to use these people, we can still contact the West Flower Hall, and there should be many people among them who still have a lot of feelings for my West Flower Hall. ”

When Han Mo heard the news, for some reason, he was in high spirits, he groaned slightly, suddenly smiled, and said, "After today, let's see if my position as the director of the hall can be kept." ”

After the two returned to the West Flower Hall, Han Mojing went to the basement and flipped through all kinds of files stored in the basement, he knew very well that if he wanted to govern a department, he must first thoroughly understand the department from the roots, and the files piled up in the basement one by one silently told the history of the West Flower Hall for decades, and the whole picture of the West Flower Hall could be glimpsed from the inside.

Thirty-nine years, accounting for one-third of the history of the Yan Kingdom, from which we can not only understand the whole picture of the West Flower Hall, but also have a clearer understanding of the history of the Yan Kingdom and even the history of other countries, of course, it is not the kind of high-sounding history that hangs on the outside or has been whitewashed, it is full of ugliness, cunning, insidious, hostile, despicable and other dark side of the real history.

If the director of the West Flower Hall was in the basement, no one would easily come over and disturb him, so for a whole afternoon, Han Mo ate the prepared dim sum, and tirelessly flipped through the files in the basement with the same strength as he had read "Golden Vase Plum" and "Meat Futon" before the crossing.

The history of the West Flower Hall is actually a history written in blood.

The archives clearly record the hard days in the early days of the establishment of the West Flower Hall, the organization is not as good as the enemy country, the combat effectiveness is not as good as the enemy country, the concealment is not as good as the enemy country, and the experience is not as good as the enemy country, and the key to surviving that period is the iron and blood discipline of the old man and the hard work of the warriors of the West Flower Hall.

Growing in blood, in blood, the flower hall slowly blooms!

The archives clearly introduced the enemies of the West Flower Hall back then, and Han Mo was very sure that the enemies in the archives were very few people in this world who knew about them.

Han Mo remembered two dark institutions.

He was convinced that if he had been sitting in the position of the head of the West Flower Hall, he would have to face two dark institutions sooner or later.

The black flag of Wei, the purple guard of Qing!

……

……

Han Mo walked out from the bottom, and when he returned to the office above, he realized that he had entered the basement since noon, and when he came out, it was already dusk, and he had unknowingly spent an afternoon in the basement.

He closed the mechanism and stretched, although he was a little tired, but he got a lot of information in the afternoon, which made his heart very satisfied, and this satisfaction also made the tiredness a lot lighter.

After pouring a cup of tea and drinking it all, I heard Pei Yinghou's voice from outside the door: "My lord, Nie Yun, director of the Silver and Coin Department of the Internal Affairs Department of the East Flower Hall, has come to visit!" ”

"Nie Yun?" Han Mo immediately remembered, wasn't it the guy who took his money and was asked to get it back? It turned out that he was the director of the Silver Coin Department of the East Flower Hall.

It was not the eunuch who came, but Nie Yun, which made Han Mo very satisfied.

When he went out, Pei Yinghou already had a smile on his face, and said respectfully: "My lord, Nie Yun is waiting outside, and we didn't let him in without your permission." ”

"It's the rule." Han Mo smiled: "How long have you been here?" ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be an hour." Pei Yinghou replied.

"Coming alone?"

"No, five or six people are coming with a car." Pei Yinghou said: "Wait at the bridge." ”

"An hour?" Han Mo held his chin and smiled: "It's almost over, let Nie Yun come in." ”

He walked out of the main hall, and he had already seen several members of the West Flower Hall in the courtyard, and the three principals were also among them, seeing Han Mo come out, everyone saluted, Han Mo waved his hand, and made a chair come over, and put it at the main entrance of the hall, sat on it, and looked at the courtyard gate in front of him.

When Nie Yun came in, his expression was completely different, his face was humble, even his body was half-bowed, Han Mo saw it in his eyes, he just sighed, in terms of mental outlook, the people in the West Flower Hall were much more backbone than the people in the East Flower Hall.

Nie Yun smiled and knelt down: "See Director Han for your humble position!" ”

He did have a sense of fear for the young man sitting on the chair, in the East Flower Hall, this young man beat Mu Xin in public, in Nie Yun's opinion, this matter must not be good, Princess Xiu will definitely punish Han Mo, who knew that in the end, Princess Xiu not only did not give any punishment, but also sent herself to send three years of arrears, which made him really shocked, after the shock, it was the incomparable fear of this little Yama King.

Nie Yun is Princess Xiu's hand, his greatest talent is financial management, as for tracking assassinations, it is not his strong point.

"It turned out to be Director Nie." Han Mo smiled and said, "It's getting dark, I don't know what advice you came to here?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Nie Yun said in a loud voice: "I served the order of our hall director and sent the salary and silver of the West Flower Hall, a total of two thousand three hundred taels, and now I am in the car outside, and I ask Director Han to send someone to check it!" ”

Suddenly, the people in the West Flower Hall in the courtyard suddenly showed strange looks.

It was a look of disbelief, and with irrepressible joy and excitement in between, they couldn't help but look at their hall master.

Even Li Gu, who had always been very cold, looked surprised and looked at Han Mo.

"Master Pei, take someone to get some silver." Han Mo instructed Pei Yinghou.

Pei Yinghou smiled, agreed, and led people out.

Only then did Han Mo smile at Nie Yun and said, "Director Nie, thank you very much." Well, this official has nothing to entertain, and if you run an errand, this official won't keep you. Yes, go back and bring a message to your Chief Mu, in the future, he will have to worry about the salary of the West Flower Hall, and the Japanese official will invite him...... Drink tea! ”

Nie Yun felt the chill in the West Flower Hall that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and immediately said, "Yes, yes, remember!" ”

After counting the silver, he pulled it into the West Flower Hall, Han Mo did not delay, and immediately asked Pei Yinghou to count everyone's salaries, and then on the spot, he put down the silver that was owed to everyone for three years.

The salary of the people in the West Flower Hall is not high, and the highest Pei Yinghou is only five taels of silver per month, and most of them are four taels of silver, so in the past three years, more than ten people have received less than two thousand taels of silver, and there are hundreds of taels of silver left, which are directly transferred to the Internal Affairs Department, which is also the first time in the past few years that the Internal Affairs Department of the West Flower Hall has transferred silver on the books.

"This official is not a noble person, but there is one thing that this official can guarantee that he will seek his position in his position, which is the official's promise to you, and it is also what the official hopes you can do." When Nie Yun led the people away, Han Mo summoned the only thirteen subordinates, sat on the chairs in the hall, and calmly said to everyone: "I won't change the things left by Gongyan Lao, because time has proved that Gongyan Lao's things are useful to the West Flower Hall." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Everyone said in unison.

Although it can't completely convince these people, there is no doubt that the silver incident has brought the relationship between Xihua Hall and Han Mo closer, at least everyone feels that the new director of the hall is indeed dedicated and has the courage to do something.

But the new officials took office three times, and they couldn't be sure if this was just a flash in the pan.

Han Mo glanced at everyone before continuing: "To do something in the West Flower Hall, manpower is indispensable, and the three hundred establishment of our West Flower Hall has not been abolished, so I hope that the four major places will start operating, and let our West Flower Hall resume normal operation first." After a pause, he groaned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said: "You guys will start to act for a while, let's supplement the formation." ”

Pei Yinghou pondered for a while, and then said: "My lord, at the beginning, the West Flower Hall was full, and the officials had responsibilities, either lurking or squatting, but now we have no task in the West Flower Hall, if it is full, how will it be distributed?" ”

"This is very simple, the training should still follow the previous procedure, as for the original skilled hands...... Yanjing City is so big, and there are so many occupations of all kinds, I think it is not difficult for hundreds of people to lurk in the huge Yanjing City. ”

Gong Yiquan asked respectfully: "Humble and presumptuous, now that the East Flower Hall controls all the tasks in the shadows, even if our West Flower Hall is full, we don't know what to do?" ”

"You don't need to worry about this at the moment." Han Mo said calmly: "Keep it full, once the task is down, I want you to ensure that the four major places of the West Flower Hall can be operational at any time...... It is necessary to be as swift and effective as when Gongyan was alive. ”

Han boy Li Gu said in a deep voice: "Let them return to the West Flower Hall, for what reason?" ”

Han Mo stared at Li Gu with an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "Li Gu, I don't care what your personality is, I want to tell you that this official hopes that next time I won't hear you talk to me in such a questioning tone." ”

Li Gu frowned, but still said, "It's rude!" ”

Han Mo's eyes flashed with satisfaction, this group of experienced masters in the shadows only showed mercy, it was impossible to completely control them, for this kind of people, let them know your kindness, but also let them know your might.

This is known as the combination of grace and power.

Grace makes grace more valuable, and grace makes majesty more inviolable.

Han Mo said slowly: "Director Pei once told me that there are three reasons for the retired officials of the West Flower Hall to return to the West Flower Hall. He glanced at Pei Yinghou before he said calmly: "Now I can answer those three so-called reasons." When they come back, as long as the official is there, they will not starve to death, and when they come back, there will definitely be something suitable for them to do, as for the last point, who are they fighting for? I can tell you very carefully that it is for their own sake, for their own sake...... Maybe this answer is a bit empty, but I believe that when a person is old and can't move, he always needs some memories, if at that time he can recall what he has done in his life without living up to his own value, then I believe that he will die without regrets, including me! ”

Everyone listened quietly, and although the young man's philosophy was very inconsistent with his age, when the words lingered in their hearts, they suddenly felt that the young chief's words were really very reasonable.

When the conversation ended, everyone retreated, and Han Mo stopped Xue Hongsleeve.

"Redsleeves, I heard you're very researched in potions!" Han Mo smiled and said, "If I have the opportunity another day, I would like to have a discussion with you in terms of potions!" ”

The delicate but indifferent face of the red sleeves was a little strange, frowned slightly, thought about it, and then replied: "Okay! ”

Of course, she didn't know that her hall director used to be a serious potion expert, so she was skeptical about whether Han Mo was proficient in potions.

Looking at the back of the red sleeves, Han Mo muttered to himself: "I don't know if the Pharmacy Department is researching?" It's my white space! ”

p I'm so powerful, a chapter of 5,000 words!
