Wushui Lake West Flower Hall.

Since Han Mo took over the West Flower Hall, the originally dying West Flower Hall has begun to move forward. Although its overall strength is not enough to compare with the West Flower Hall at its peak, the dark machine of the West Flower Hall has already started to operate smoothly.

However, because of the existence of the East Flower Hall and the peripheral intelligence work, the West Flower Hall cannot directly intervene. Therefore, according to Han Mo's instructions, the officials of the West Flower Hall were mainly distributed in all corners of Yanjing City.

For a long time, if Director Han Mo left Beijing, then the affairs of the West Flower Hall would be managed by Pei Yinghou, the head of the department.

On this doomed extraordinary night, when the Volcano Camp and Fengxiang Camp had already started to take action, the dark officials in the West Flower Hall had already received the orders of Pei Yinghou from all corners of Yanjing City and gathered in the foggy lake.

In the large yard of the West Flower Hall, more than 200 dark officials were all wearing hats and black cloaks, like ghosts in the dark night, standing in an orderly manner in the yard.

The cold air is rushing.

The Wushui Lake has not had the fragrance of lotus flowers in spring and autumn, but has thick ice. The yard of Xihua Hall is wrapped in the ice lake, which is cold and even colder.

Han Mo, the director of the Xihua Hall, went to the border. Among the four main officials, Li Gu, the chief officer of the three departments, led the forty most elite dark officials in the Xihua Hall to the border. Hong Xiu, the chief officer of the four departments, was recuperating due to injuries. Since the day he was sent to Qingguo, he has never returned to the flower hall. Now the two main officials in the hall are Pei Yinghou and Gongshuquan.

In comparison, Pei Yinghou's status and prestige in the hall are incomparable to the public send-off.

Before Gongshuquan became the head of the Second Department, he was still in charge of the Equipment Department. However, after Xue Gongyan's death, the East Flower Hall was established. A large number of people were drawn from the West Flower Hall to the East Flower Hall, and some of them left the Flower Hall. In the end, there were only thirteen people left in the West Flower Hall. Gongshuquan then served as the head of the Second Department.

Li Gu and Hong Xiu also became the leader when the manpower was scarce.

In fact, at that time, the West Flower Hall was already empty, and the so-called main affairs were just nominal, and there was no strength under his command.

However, after Han Mo came to the Xihua Hall, he immediately negotiated with Princess Xiu, who was in charge of the inner treasury, and obtained money. If a yamen wants to exist, it must have the support of money.

The money allocated from the inner treasury naturally made the Xihua Hall, which was on the verge of disband, re-emerged, summoned old officials and trained new officials, and all places were on the right track in an orderly manner.

Now that the staffing is full, the public sending department of the second department is responsible for the public sending, so naturally there is real power.

...

Gongshuquan was very confused about Pei Yinghou's sudden recall of all the officials in the flower hall to Wushui Lake. When the dark officials in the yard stood silently like ghosts, Gongshuquan was arguing with Pei Yinghou in the house.

"You shouldn't do this." Gongshuquan always treated people with a smile, and looked very kind, but his face was quite cold today: "Master Pei, the director of the department is not in Beijing, and before leaving, he did not give up the task, why did you call everyone back to the hall? Last time Li Gu was arrested by people from the underground black market, you rashly recalled dozens of veteran officials, but what did you do this time?"

Pei Yinghou held his hands on his back and looked at Gongshuquan lightly, saying, "Besides these, what else do you have to ask?"

"Are you going to ask any other questions? You can answer these first." Gongshu is the head of the two departments, and he is on par with Pei Yinghou's position, so he is not afraid: "The last time you summoned the official, you had already committed a big taboo. This time you didn't discuss with me, and you summoned everyone back. You are making a fool of yourself."

The dark officials perform dark tasks, lurking everywhere, and the most taboo thing is to contact frequently and expose their identities.

Pei Yinghou summoned officials from the Flower Hall twice, which violated the most basic principles. If the identity of the officials may be exposed.

Pei Yinghou sneered: "Li Gu was arrested, I'll call everyone back to deal with it. What's wrong with it?"

Gongshu Quan said seriously: "You did not notify the Director, nor did you discuss with us. You sent a summons without authorization. Besides you, there were people from the other three places who were transferred back. Do you know that it was a big violation of authority? At that time, the situation was urgent and the Director had not yet dealt with it. You summoned everyone and the Director was already passive. Fortunately, the Director rescued Li Gu that time. If Li Gu failed to come back, wouldn't you let the Director's prestige be ruined?"

Pei Yinghou stared at Gongshuquan with a calm expression. After a while, he sighed: "Gongshu, you... are so devoted to him? You and I have worked together for so many years, and when we were at the lowest rating in the flower hall, we have never had any rifts. Why has it been so distant now!"

Gongshu Quan shook his head and said, "Master Pei, my Gongshu Quan's respect for you has never changed. You are one of the most respected people in my life. But you and I should not forget Mr. Gong Yan's teachings, nor should I forget the twenty-eleven flower halls!"

"When will I forget?" Pei Yinghou frowned.

"Original orders are in the lower end!" Gongshu Quan said solemnly: "Director has no orders, so you summoned the officials without permission. Did you obey the twenty-one items?" He stared at Pei Yinghou and said slowly: "Master Pei, you should remember that if it were not for Director Han, the Xihua Hall might still be empty now, and it would be more likely that it would no longer exist. It was his appearance that prevented Mr. Gong Yan from being destroyed. It was his appearance that allowed us to still have the belief to survive... You and I should have seen that Mr. Han had the shadow of Mr. Gong Yan. I always thought that Mr. Han was the savior sent by Mr. Gong Yan to rescue the Xihua Hall...!"

Pei Yinghou sighed and said nothing.

"Master Pei, I respect you because you have never let Gong Yan down, and have been working hard for the West Flower Hall from beginning to end." Gong Shuquan looked at Pei Yinghou, "But I found that you seem to have changed now. Many of the things you have done have made me increasingly unable to understand...!"

Pei Yinghou closed his eyes and said, "What can you not understand?"

"Master Pei, there is one thing that should not be in my heart for a long time. I want to ask you." Gongshu Quan said calmly: "This time, there are a total of forty officials in the flower hall who accompanied the director to protect the prince. You have selected these forty people personally. I want to ask you, why are all the veteran officials in the flower hall?"

"What do you want 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? Is there another intention? Do you want to say that I, Pei Yinghou, are not loyal to the flower hall?"

Gongshu all stared at Pei Yinghou, and after a while, he said, "You have to answer this yourself!"

"I am loyal to the flower hall, which is something that no one can deny." Pei Yinghou said in a deep voice: "Since Gong Yan's death, the East Flower Hall was established, and my West Flower Hall was in power. If Gong Yan knows it underground, he will die with his eyes!"

Gongshu Quan shook his head and said, "Old Gongyan created the West Flower Hall for the sake of the Great Yan Kingdom. Although my West Flower Hall was seized by the East Flower Hall, many of the officials in the East Flower Hall were still cultivated by Mr Gongyan, and they are still serving my Great Yan!"

"Nonsense." Pei Yinghou angrily rebuked: "The West Flower Hall is the West Flower Hall, and no one can replace it. Although Han Mo made the West Flower Hall not disappear, and he also made my West Flower Hall full of staff without worrying about food and clothing, but have you not seen what my brothers in the West Flower Hall are doing now? The West Flower Hall that was dominant in the world, now the officials not only cannot leave the Great Yan and penetrate other countries, but also cannot go out of Yanjing City, and can only lurk in the imperial city... Is this the West Flower Hall when Gong Yan was alive?"

Gongshu Quan said sadly: "Isn't it a matter of day and night to restore Gongyan's life immediately? Princess Xiu is also a rare and powerful figure in the world, and she is the prince's own sister. It is not easy for Director Han to bring the Xihua Hall to its current appearance. It is absolutely impossible to replace the East Flower Hall so quickly and get power back from the East Flower Hall!"

Pei Yinghou sneered and said, "You understand. Then I ask you, the West Flower Hall that cannot be dominated by the world is still the West Flower Hall? What is the difference between this and the empty shell? It is precisely because he is loyal to the West Flower Hall and does not forget the teachings of Mr. Gong Yan, 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, but such a West Flower Hall is better not to have it!"

Gongshu Quan looked stern and said coldly: "Master Pei, is this what you should say?"

Pei Yinghou stroked his thumb and said, "What should I not be? Am I wrong?" He looked at Gongshuquan calmly and said slowly, "You ask me why I summoned everyone tonight. I might as well tell you that it is for the West Flower Hall!"

Gongshu just looked at Pei Yinghou coldly and didn't say anything.

But he was sure that Pei Yinghou was already preparing to make trouble in the West Flower Hall.

Pei Yinghou was calm and calm, facing his questioning calmly. There was no doubt that he had made sufficient preparations, which made Gongshuquan's fists clench.

He vaguely felt that the West Flower Hall was about to change, but now Han Mo has left, Li Gu has left, Hongxiu is not there, and even more than ten elite soldiers from the second place have left. If Pei Yinghou really wants to do anything, he will definitely not be an opponent based on himself.

Pei Yinghou saw Gongshuquan's vigilance and did not care. He just smiled faintly and said, "Gongshu, you are the old brother in the hall. Today I will only ask you one question. If you have the opportunity to restore the West Flower Hall, let the West Flower Hall replace the East Flower Hall, and restore the glory of Gongyan when he was alive, would you be willing to help me?"

Gongshu Quan said calmly: "What do you want to do?"

Pei Yinghou carried his hands on his back and said word by word: "If you help me, you will be your brother. Once the big thing is done, you will be the director of the West Flower Hall. If you want to stop it..." A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes: "I will not allow anyone to stop the West Flower Hall from rising again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quietly swam into the room several dark officials, surrounded the surroundings like ghosts, surrounding Gongshu.
