Chapter 4: Growing Wings (2)

The top boss passed the move, and the "Dark Feather" Youzhou branch hall from the hall master, deputy hall master to the following backbone directors naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and after receiving the order personally conveyed by Qiu Yiqiu's shopkeeper, they immediately rushed to the Yongan Inn from their respective locations to meet Zheng Zhiwei and Liang Ziyue.

From the time Qiu Yi was instructed to pass the word, to the time when all the backbones of the "Dark Feather" Youzhou Branch Hall gathered in the guest rooms where Zheng and Liang lived at the Yongan Inn, it took a little more than an hour in total, which was quite efficient for these backbones scattered all over Youzhou City.

With such a high efficiency, both Zheng Zhiwei and Liang Ziyue are relatively satisfied. When the men knelt on the ground and saluted themselves, Zheng and Liang asked them to stand up and speak. The backbone of the Youzhou branch hall hurriedly thanked them when they heard this, and then got up to reply. After everyone had already stood up in order, Zheng Zhiwei said: "This deputy hall master and Liang deputy hall master have come to Youzhou, first, to take a look at the recent situation of the 'Dark Feather' Youzhou branch, and second, there is an errand handed over to you to do. ”

Although Zheng Zhiwei first said that he came to inspect the Youzhou Branch, whether it was the hall master or those backbones, he believed that the main purpose of these two top bosses coming to Youzhou was definitely not to inspect, and what he said later was to give everyone an errand to do. Therefore, after Zheng Zhiwei finished saying this, the hall master of the "Dark Feather" Youzhou branch and several of his subordinates had already saluted together: "If the two masters have anything to do with their subordinates, just give orders, and their subordinates will do their best." ”

Zheng Zhiwei nodded, exchanged glances with Liang Ziyue, and continued: "Yesterday, the 'Qingyuan' side received a message from Brother Fan, who was running an errand in Youzhou, saying that the hall master of the 'Feiyan Hall' who had dealt with our 'Dark Feather' a few times had been replaced, and it turned out that the hall advocate who could only eat, drink and have fun, and did not do his job at all could be transferred back to the main hall for another appointment, and the deputy hall master Liu Yunyan was promoted to the hall master and took charge of the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou branch, I don't know about us' Can Dark Feather's Youzhou Branch get such news? ”

After listening to Zheng Zhiwei's question, Gao Dehao, the head of the Youzhou branch of "Dark Feather", was a little apprehensive in his heart, because from Zheng Zhiwei's words, he could hear that the "Qingyuan" side got the news from Fan Wucheng, the fourteenth master who lived in the "Yan Garden", not the news that the "Dark Feather" reported every day - it is no wonder that Gao Dehao, who originally thought that this news was not important, sent the relevant information to the messenger in charge of the "Yan Garden" early this morning, Liang Ziyue and others are already on their way to Youzhou.

Gao Dehao, who knew that he might be derelict in his duties, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, and then replied thoughtfully: "Back to Zheng Ye's words, about the change of the owner of the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch, his subordinates only got the news yesterday. According to his spies, it turned out that although the waste hall advocate Neng had only known eating, drinking and having fun in Youzhou City, because he was related to the head hall master of the 'Feiyan Hall' and the shili behind him, he was still credited by the main hall for more than two years, and was transferred back to serve as a higher-level Dharma Protector Elder, and he had left Youzhou City early this morning and returned to Zhou Kingdom.

It is said that in addition to regularly asking Liu Yunyan for money, and occasionally listening to Liu Yunyan talk about some very important things that must be decided by him, the hall master, this Zhang Neng basically ignored other affairs in the hall. Even if Liu Yunyan reported to him, it was just a formality to deal with Shangfeng's inquiries in the future, and Zhang Neng would not interfere with or change Liu Yunyan's decisions and views on these matters at all. Not only that, but even the comments on the performance of duties of all important subordinates of the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch, which should be given by him personally every month, were written by Liu Yunyan first, and then he copied a copy and handed it to the main hall. Now that he can rely on his relationship with the head hall master, he really fulfills the sentence 'There are people in the court who are good officials'.

However, it is also Zhang Neng's performance of not doing his job properly that makes him, the so-called 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou branch hall master, become an ornament, as the deputy hall master, Liu Yunyan actually holds all the power in the branch hall, although he does not have the name of the hall master, but he has already become the hall master.

Therefore, in a sense, this time Zhang Neng was transferred back to the main hall, and Liu Yunyan was promoted to the hall master, in fact, it was just to correct Liu Yunyan's position, so that her, the deputy hall master who exercised the power of the hall master, became the veritable hall master of the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou branch. In this matter, except for Zhang Neng, who was transferred back to the main hall to take a higher-level position, everyone in the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch, including Liu Yunyan, has not changed in terms of power or the errands that should be responsible, and the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch is still doing what it should do step by step as before. ,

Because of this, and the subordinates got the news yesterday evening, it was already past the time for the daily transmission of information between 'Dark Feather' and 'Yan Yuan'. And this matter was not qualified to use emergency means of transmission, so his subordinates took matters into their own hands, detained the matter overnight, and only this morning did it treat it as ordinary news and handed it to the messenger on the 'Yan Yuan' side along with other news. According to the rules of the 'Yanyuan' messenger to send messages, I am afraid that this news was only transmitted to the 'Qingyuan' after the two masters set off from Liangxiang, and the two masters did not see it before they came. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Dehao paused slightly, seeing that Zheng Zhiwei and Liang Ziyue didn't seem to show any dissatisfaction with him for postponing the news without authorization, and knew that he should not have any major sin this time, so he took advantage of the situation and knelt down, and asked for sin: "My subordinates thought that this Zhang could be transferred, and Liu Yunyan's promotion was not a big deal, so they took the initiative to postpone the news for one night before reporting it to the main hall." I don't want to, the lords in Liangxiang attach so much importance to this matter, and the two masters, as the deputy hall masters of the main hall, even went to Youzhou City to inquire about this matter. The subordinate is the master of the 'Dark Feather' Youzhou Branch, but he can't see the importance of this news, and he delays the delivery of the news, which is a dereliction of duty by his subordinates, and he also asks the two masters to punish him. ”

Seeing that Gao Dehao took the initiative to ask for guilt, Zheng Zhiwei waved his hand, and while motioning for him to stand up, he said: "Master Gao, according to common sense, it is normal to postpone this news and report it later, what reason does the master have to punish you." After all, according to the rules of 'Dark Feather', emergency transmission methods cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and it is reasonable for you to do so. Moreover, from your analysis of Zhang Neng himself and the reason for his transfer in great detail, it can be seen that you and your subordinates have indeed put a lot of effort into this person and the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch.

As for the Lord and Brother Liang coming to Youzhou this time, although it has something to do with this Zhang Neng transfer and Liu Yunyan's promotion, this is all secondary reasons. The main purpose of coming to Youzhou this time is not to investigate this matter, but to find out what big things Liu Yunyan wants to do after her promotion, and what benefits we can get from it. ”

Regarding Zheng Zhiwei's words, Gao Dehao basically understood half and was half confused. What he understood was that Zheng and Liang didn't think that he Gao Dehao had any dereliction of duty in his errand, and there was nothing wrong with postponing the news about "Feiyan Hall" one night before reporting it, and he could continue to do it as the hall master. What he didn't understand was how Zheng Zhiwei could conclude that Liu Yunyan would definitely do something big after he was promoted to the hall master, and he also thought that his side could benefit from it.

Fortunately, the question in Gao Dehao's heart did not last long, and Liang Ziyue next to him saw that he was puzzled, so he gave the answer: "Here's the thing, in the news from my fourteenth brother last night, in addition to explaining the changes in the positions of Zhang Neng and Liu Yunyan, he also conveyed some of Liu Yunyan's proposals to the 'Qingyuan' side, the main meaning of which is that the Youzhou branch of the "Feiyan Hall" hopes to cooperate more with us, so that we can do a great job on the ground of this Youdu Mansion. ”

However, the message sent by my fourteenth brother to "Qingyuan" is very simple, and many key contents are not said. In order to be able to find out the details of Liu Yunyan, and to know in advance what the other party wants to do with us, my eldest brother, fifth brother, sixth brother and other brothers have decided to come to Youzhou together with the deputy head hall master and the deputy head hall master Zheng to do things together with the brothers of the 'Dark Feather' Youzhou branch, and strive to get the above news before the formal negotiation with Liu Yunyan, so that our side can always take the initiative in the negotiation. ”

After listening to Liang Ziyue's explanation, Gao Dehao finally understood the true purpose of Zheng and Liang coming to Youzhou City, and the heart that this guy originally mentioned was finally put back in his stomach, and hurriedly responded: "I see, my subordinates understand." ”

After speaking, Gao Dehao bowed down again and said: "Second master, please rest assured, although she 'Feiyan Hall' is secretive and always wary of our side, her subordinates still have some spies in her Youzhou Branch, and two or three of them are now in a relatively high status in the 'Feiyan Hall' Youzhou Branch, and they can get a lot of information and materials related to them from all aspects. The subordinates went to get in touch with them after a while, and ordered them to step up their efforts to find out what Liu Yunyan's intentions were this time, and report it to the 'Qingyuan' side in time. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhiwei first nodded, then waved his hand and said, "To be able to arrange people into us in the 'Feiyan Hall' and get some important positions, the high hall master and his brothers must have made great efforts." I also hope that the hall master and his brothers will continue to work hard to do the new errand that Brother Liang just said.

As for the news we have inquired about, until the end of the negotiation with Liu Yunyan, the deputy hall master and the deputy hall master Liang will stay here, and the high hall master will directly send it to the Yongan Inn to give us two of us when the time comes, and we will pass on the useful information to the brother who is responsible for the direct negotiation with Liu Yunyan. ”

Zheng Zhiwei's words were equivalent to an order to Gao Dehao and the others, so this time not only Gao Dehao knelt on the ground, but also the other people of the "Dark Feather" Youzhou branch who came with him also knelt down and promised together: "The subordinates will obey the orders of the two masters, and they will not disappoint the two masters." ”
