West Flower Hall of Wushui Lake.

Since Han Mo took over the West Flower Hall, the dying West Flower Hall has begun to move towards the road of rejuvenation, although the overall strength is not enough to compare with the West Flower Hall at its peak, but the dark machine of the West Flower Hall has been running very smoothly.

It's just that because of the existence of the East Flower Hall and the intelligence work on the periphery, the West Flower Hall cannot directly intervene, so according to Han Mo's orders, the officials of the West Flower Hall are mainly distributed in all corners of Yanjing City.

For a long time, if the director of the hall, Han Mo, left Beijing, then the affairs of the West Flower Hall would be handled by Pei Yinghou, a director.

On this fateful night, when the Volcano Camp and the Fengxiang Camp had already begun to act, the dark officials of the West Flower Hall had already received Pei Yinghou's orders from all corners of Yanjing City and gathered at Wushui Lake.

In the large courtyard of the West Flower Hall, more than 200 dark officials all wore hats and black cloaks, like ghosts in the dark night, standing in an orderly formation in the courtyard.

It's cold.

Wushui Lake has long been without the fragrance of lotus flowers in spring and autumn, but has a thick ice, and the courtyard of the West Flower Hall is wrapped in the ice lake, which is cold, and people are even colder.

Han Moyuan, the director of the West Flower Hall, went to the border pass, and among the four major directors, Li Gu, the director of the three departments, led the forty most elite dark officials in the West Flower Hall to go to the border pass, and the red sleeves of the four directors were recuperating due to injuries, and since the day of the envoy to Qingguo, he has never returned to the flower hall, and now the two main directors in the hall are Pei Yinghou and the two directors of the public service.

In comparison, Pei Yinghou's status and prestige in the hall are incomparable.

Before Gongchuan became the head of the second department, he was also the manager of an instrument department, but after Xue Gongyan's death, the East Flower Hall was established, and a large number of people were transferred from the West Flower Hall to the East Flower Hall, and some of them withdrew from the Flower Hall, and in the end, there were only thirteen people left in the West Flower Hall, and the Gong Chuan served as the head of the Second Department.

Li Gu and Red Sleeves also became the main ones when manpower was scarce.

In fact, at that time, the West Flower Hall was already an empty shell, and the so-called main thing was only in name, and there was no strength under his hands.

But after Han Mo came to the West Flower Hall, he immediately negotiated with Princess Xiu, who was in charge of the inner library, and won the silver money, and if a yamen wanted to exist, it must have the support of the silver money.

The money allocated by the inner treasury naturally allowed the West Flower Hall, which was on the verge of dissolution, to rise again, to summon the old officials, to train the new ones, and to get on the right track in an orderly manner.

Now, the establishment is full, and the public in charge of the second division naturally has real power.

……

For Pei Yinghou to suddenly recall all the flower hall officials back to Wushui Lake, this made Gong Yiquan very incomprehensible, when the dark officials in the courtyard stood silent like ghosts, Gongyi Quan was arguing with Pei Yinghou in the house.

"You shouldn't do that." Gong Yiquan has always treated people with a smile and looks very kind, but today's face is quite indifferent: "Director Pei, the hall master is not in Beijing, and before leaving, he didn't give an account of the task, but why did you call everyone back to the hall?" The last time Li Gu was arrested by people in the underground black market, you rashly recalled dozens of old officials, but what are you going to do this time? ”

Pei Yinghou put his hands behind his back, looked at Gong Quan lightly, and said, "Apart from these, what else do you have to ask?" ”

"If there is anything else to ask, you answer these first." The public loses the whole body as the head of the second department, and is at the same level as Pei Yinghou's position, so he is not afraid: "The last time you convened the officials, you had already committed a big taboo, this time you didn't do any discussion with me, and you called everyone back, you are fooling around." ”

The dark officials carry out dark missions, lurking everywhere, and the most taboo is to contact each other from time to time and reveal their identities.

Pei Yinghou summoned the officials of the flower hall twice, which violated the most basic principle, and if he didn't do it well, he would leak the identity of the officials.

Pei Yinghou sneered: "Li Gu was arrested, I summoned everyone to come back to deal with it, what's wrong?" ”

Gong Yi Quan Zhengse said: "You didn't notify the director of the hall, and you didn't consult with us, you issued a summons without authorization, and you transferred back not only you, but also people from three other places, do you know that it is already a big violation of authority?" At that time, the situation was urgent, and the chief of the hall had not yet dealt with it, so you summoned everyone over, and the director of the hall was already in a passive position. Fortunately, the director of the hall rescued Li Gu that time, if Li Gu didn't come back, wouldn't you let the director lose his prestige? ”

Pei Yinghou stared at Gong Yiquan, his expression was calm, and after a while, he sighed: "Gong Yin, you ...... Is he so desperate? You and I have worked together for so many years, and when the flower hall was at its lowest, there was never a disagreement, how did it come to this day, but it is so raw! ”

Gongyiquan shook his head and said: "Master Pei, my respect for you has never changed, you are one of the most respected people in my life." But you and I should not forget the teachings of Elder Gongyan, let alone the twenty-one articles of the flower hall! ”

"When did I forget?" Pei Yinghou frowned.

"Orders to go down!" Gong Yiquan said solemnly: "The director of the hall did not order, so you summoned the officials without authorization, is this in compliance with the twenty-one articles?" He stared at Pei Yinghou and said slowly: "Master Pei, you should remember that if it weren't for Director Han, the West Flower Hall might still be an empty shell now, and it is more likely that it no longer exists." It is his appearance that keeps Gongyan Lao's hard work from going up in smoke, and it is his appearance that gives us the belief to survive...... You and I should be able to see that in Director Han's body, there is the shadow of Gongyan Lao, and I have always thought that Director Han is the savior sent by Gongyan Lao to rescue the Xihua Hall ......! ”

Pei Yinghou sighed and said nothing.

"Director Pei, I respect you because you have always lived up to the cultivation of Gongyan Lao, and you have been working hard for the West Flower Hall from beginning to end." Gong Yiquan looked at Pei Yinghou, "However, I found that you seem to have changed now, and many things you have done have made me more and more incomprehensible ......!" ”

Pei Yinghou closed his eyes and said, "Why don't you understand?" ”

"Master Pei, there is one thing, don't stay in my heart for a long time, I want to ask you." Gongyi said calmly: "This time, there are a total of forty officials in the Flower Hall who accompanied the director of the hall to protect the prince, and these forty people were all personally selected by you, I want to ask you, why are all the forty people all the old officials of the Flower Hall?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Pei Yinghou sneered: "Do you want to say that I deliberately transferred all the people in the hall who may not obey my orders, do I have other plans?" Do you want to say that I, Pei Yinghou, am not loyal to the flower hall? ”

Gong Yi stared at Pei Yinghou, and after a while, he said, "You have to answer this yourself!" ”

"I'm loyal to the Flower Hall, and no one can deny it." Pei Yinghou said in a deep voice: "Since the death of Gongyan Lao, the East Flower Hall was established, and the power of my West Flower Hall has fallen, and Gongyan Lao knows about it, and it is a dead eye!" ”

Gong Yiquan shook his head and said: "Gong Yan Lao created the West Flower Hall for the Great Yan Kingdom. Although my West Flower Hall was seized power by the East Flower Hall, it ...... Many of the officials in the East Flower Hall are still cultivated by Gongyan Lao, and they are still serving my Dayan! ”

"Nonsense." Pei Yinghou reprimanded angrily: "The West Flower Hall is the West Flower Hall, and no one can replace it." Of course, Han Mo did not let the West Flower Hall die, and it is true that I made the West Flower Hall full of people without worrying about food and clothing, but don't you see what my brothers in the West Flower Hall are doing now? At the beginning, the West Flower Hall dominated the world, but now the officials not only can't leave Dayan to infiltrate other countries, but they can't even go out of Yanjing City, so they can only lurk in the imperial city...... Is this still the West Flower Hall when Gong Yan Lao was alive? ”

Gongyi said gloomily: "If you want to restore the situation of Gongyan Lao when he was alive immediately, is it a matter of day and night?" Princess Xiu is also a rare powerful figure in the world, and she is also the sister of the saint, it is not easy for Director Han to bring the West Flower Hall to its current appearance, and it is impossible to replace the East Flower Hall so quickly and take back power from the hands of the East Flower Hall! ”

Pei Yinghou sneered: "You understand. Then let me ask you, the West Flower Hall that can't dominate the world, is it still the West Flower Hall? How is this different from an empty shell? It is precisely because he is loyal to the West Flower Hall and does not forget the teachings of the old man that he does not want to see the West Flower Hall continue like this. Today's West Flower Hall is not a real West Flower Hall, such a West Flower Hall, it is better not to! ”

Gongyiquan's expression was stern, and he said coldly: "Master Pei, this is what you should say?" ”

Pei Yinghou stroked his beard and said: "Why shouldn't I be, could I be wrong?" He calmly looked at the public and said slowly: "If you ask me why I summoned everyone here tonight, I might as well tell you that it is for the West Flower Hall!" ”

Gong Yi just looked at Pei Yinghou coldly and didn't speak.

But he had already determined in his heart that Pei Yinghou was already preparing to make waves in the West Flower Hall.

Pei Yinghou was calm and calm, and he calmly faced his questioning, there was no doubt that he was fully prepared, which made Gong Yiquan's fists clench.

He vaguely felt that the West Flower Hall was going to undergo a big change, but now that Han Mo had left, Li Gu had left, and the red sleeves were gone, even the more than ten elites in the second place had left, if Pei Yinghou really wanted to do something, he would not be an opponent by himself.

Pei Yinghou saw that the public was on guard, and he didn't care, but smiled lightly: "Gong loses, you are the old brother in the hall, today I only ask you, if there is a chance to revive the West Flower Hall, let the West Flower Hall replace the East Flower Hall, and restore the glory of Gongyan Lao when he was alive, are you willing to help me?" ”

Gong Quan said calmly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Pei Yinghou put his hands behind his back and said word by word: "If you help me, you will be your brother, and when the big thing is done, you will be the director of the West Flower Hall." If you want to stop ......! A cold glint appeared in his eyes: "I don't allow anyone to stop the re-emergence of the West Flower Hall!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, silently, from all around the house, several dark officials had swam in, ghostly, surrounding the city, and surrounded the public in the middle.

Gong Yiquan had already noticed it, smiled coldly, stared at Pei Yinghou, and said slowly: "You are crazy!" ”
