Pirate Song

When all the teenagers returned to the inn, Gao Huaiyuan summoned them to his room and told the group about Zhao Tong's arrest.

All of a sudden everyone became anxious, and they all said that they should hurry up and rescue Zhao Tong and the others.

"Don't be anxious yet, I'm afraid this matter won't be too easy! Just listen to my arrangements first!" Gao Huaiyuan told everyone to be silent and ordered them.

Everyone immediately shut up and looked at Gao Huaiyuan. Although Zhao Tong had never been a prominent person among them, he was very popular and had a good relationship with the young people in Crouching Tiger Village. When they heard that he had been arrested, everyone

We are all anxious, we can't just watch Zhao Tong being arrested and sit idly by!

"Don't worry, since we have met, I will not ignore Zhao Tong and the others. Now I have to figure out how to rescue them! So everyone should listen to my instructions first. Their identities should not be exposed now, and they are just regarded as golden people.

The spy is temporarily detained in the government office in the south of the city, and his life is not in danger for the time being.

Now our goal with these newly acquired young people is too big. Luo Hu will take them out of the city tomorrow morning and rush back to Crouching Tiger Village. The rest of the people will stay here with me to try to find a way to fish them out.

!" Gao Huaiyuan ordered the young man named Luo Hu among his subordinates.

Although Luo Hu was somewhat reluctant and wanted to stay and help, he was now considered a cripple due to a battle injury and missing an arm, so he finally agreed.

Then Gao Huaiyuan ordered: "Li Ergou, take a few people to the south of the city near the government office tonight to check the terrain and see if the government there is closely guarding it. By the way, you can also inquire about the news and see if Zhao Tong and the others have still been exposed."

Identity! Come back and report to me if there is any situation!" The reason why Li Ergou was arranged to do these things was because Gao Huaiyuan had already discovered that Li Ergou had extraordinary talent in tracking and investigation, so

After Li Ergou agreed, he immediately ordered a few people out of the inn and ran to the government office in the south of the city to start inquiring about the news.

Not long after, news came back that they had found out. As expected, the identities of Zhao Tong and others were not exposed. After a brief interrogation by the government, they all said in unison that they were fleeing northerners who could not stand the oppression of the Jin Dynasty and wanted to come to the south to seek a way out.

.

With everyone speaking in unison, it did not attract excessive attention from the government, because since the war began, there have been many people like them fleeing from the north every day, and if they were to be caught, there would be countless people.

So they put the surrendered soldiers into a courtyard and detained them alone, but Zhao Tong was in a bit of trouble. Although they were arrested together, Zhao Tong spoke with a southern accent. It was impossible to cover it up with his identity as a northerner, so

After he was arrested, he simply pretended not to know the people he was taking with him. He just said that he met them on the road and mingled with them, and that he was from Song Dynasty and wanted to visit relatives in the south.

But unexpectedly, it was Zhao Tong who showed his flaws. He didn't know how. He lost his road certificate on the way and lost his identity certificate. Moreover, he had several stab wounds and arrow scars on his body. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell him at a glance.

He was a man who had been on the battlefield, so he was immediately included in the list of spies and tortured. Now he is locked up in a dungeon, which can be said to be a bit self-defeating. Moreover, Zhao Tong has a stubborn mouth and says nothing.

To be honest, the problem is a bit troublesome.

I really don't know how Li Ergou found out about so many things, but Gao Huaiyuan was not in the mood to think about this issue at the moment.

Next, Gao Huaiyuan scratched his head a little. Ezhou was no better than Daye County. He didn't know anyone here, so it was easy to find someone to help him. Moreover, according to the news that Li Ergou found out, Zhao Tong's problem was more serious now. On the contrary, it was those who had been demoted.

The soldiers were not in much danger.

So Gao Huaiyuan, Zhou Hao and others started discussing.

"Now it seems that things are not as bad as we thought at first. The problem is mainly concentrated on Zhao Tong. He has scars on his body, so he will inevitably be suspected. Do you think there is any way?" Gao Huaiyuan also met Gao Huaiyuan for the first time.

When something like this happens, you inevitably don’t know what to do for a while.

"Why don't we just sneak into the government office now and go to the dungeon to rescue Zhao Tong!" Zhou Hao said.

"It's not impossible, but this can only be done after careful planning in advance. Moreover, the surrendered soldiers are still being detained. They will be a hidden danger sooner or later. Once someone leaks something, it will soon be found out that it was us.

!Before rescuing Zhao Tong, we must get these people out first!" Gao Huaiyuan shook his head slightly.

"Young Master! The government is not very strict with the Northerners now, and there are so many escaped Northerners that the government can't handle it. In the end, most of them let them go after asking. Otherwise, we can

Spend some money to get them out first, and as for Zhao Tong, let's find another way!" Li Ergou stood aside and came up with an idea.

After hearing this, Gao Huaiyuan thought about it and said, "That's okay, but we don't know anyone in Ezhou. Who can we ask for help?"

"Yes! Master, when we were shopping on the street just now, didn't we see Wang's shop? Their shop in Ezhou is really big. They should be familiar with it locally. Otherwise, please ask them for help.

, in their name, recruiting craftsmen and spending some money should be able to get those people out first! As long as they come out, it will be much easier to save Zhao Tong! With our skills, it should be no problem to save one person now

Question!" Zhou Hao said suddenly.

Gao Huaiyuan slapped his head. Zhou Hao was right. He did see the Wang family's shop on the street today. He also went in to have a look and bought some rouge and gouache for Liu'er and the girls in Zhuangzi. The Wang family's

The locals, Ezhou is where they started, and they should have many connections, so why have they been forgotten?

After everyone gathered together, they each took a rest. At dawn, Luo Hu took the dozen newly recruited young people with him, left Ezhou, and rushed back to Wohu Village in Daye County. Li Ergou then

He took a few people with him and dispersed near the government dungeon where Zhao Tong was being detained. He began to stare there and inquire for information. Gao Huaiyuan also took a young man out and found Wang's shop two streets away. Only Zhou Hao and others were left.

Several teenagers were listening to the news inside the inn.

The street was not very lively in the early morning, there were not many pedestrians, and there were not many people in Wang's shop. After Gao Huaiyuan walked into the shop, a waiter immediately came to greet him.

Gao Huaiyuan was not polite, and asked the waiter to talk to their shopkeeper, saying that he had a big deal to discuss with the shopkeeper. The waiter saw that although Gao Huaiyuan was young, he was very talented, so he did not dare to neglect, so he hurried over

Later, I will report it to their local shopkeeper.

Not long after, Gao Huaiyuan sat in a quiet room at the back of the shop. An old man served tea to Gao Huaiyuan with a smile, then dusted off the hem of his robe and sat opposite Gao Huaiyuan.

"What a rare visitor! I didn't expect to see Young Master Gao here today. What kind of wind brought Young Master Gao here? I heard that Young Master Gao went out with the army a year ago. How come Young Master Gao is here now?

Where are you?" The old man smiled at Gao Huaiyuan.

It turned out that the person who received Gao Huaiyuan was not someone else, but Wang Jian, the shopkeeper! He happened to be in the Ezhou shop during this time and happened to meet Gao Huaiyuan.

"It's a long story! I'm no longer serving in the army. I just happened to pass by this place when I came back from Xiangyang. I didn't expect to meet you, shopkeeper Wang, here. What a good luck!" Gao Huaiyuan also smiled at Wang Jian.

Wang Jian saw that after a year of training, Gao Huaiyuan's childishness had long since faded, and he now looked more stable and mature. His movements and gestures were quite imposing, and he did not dare to underestimate the third young master of the Gao family, so he smiled.

Said: "Isn't this a gift from Master Gao? Originally, the young man was ready to spend his old age in peace, but it was because of Master Gao that the young man had to take action again and come to Ezhou in person to take charge!

To be honest, Mr. Gao, since we got your soap, our Wang family’s business has been getting better and better, and we are running out of manpower. Now my third son has also gone to the south to open some other shops, but this one on Jingxi Road

This area can only be controlled by the little old man himself, so I had no choice but to come out from Daye and run here to continue working!"

After Gao Huaiyuan listened to Wang Jian's words, he immediately laughed. He had not had much contact with his family during this period. Although he knew that the output of the soap workshop had increased a lot, he did not know the specific situation. Now it seems that even Wang Jian is making a comeback.

Taking charge of the business, it can be seen that the Wang family's business should be quite prosperous through cooperation with him. Otherwise, Wang Jian would not give up his leisurely life and take charge here personally.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Wang Jiancai asked: "I wonder what Master Gao did when he came to my place today? If there is anything I need help with, Master Gao just said it! Although Wang is just a businessman, at any rate

We are quite familiar with this place in Ezhou, so Master Gao might as well just say it if you have anything to say!"

Wang Jian was an old man. As soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he knew that Gao Huaiyuan had something to do with him, so after beating out the maid who was bringing tea and water, he directly said to Gao Huaiyuan, in his opinion, Gao Huaiyuan

But the lucky star and God of Wealth of their Wang family cannot be offended by anything.

As an old businessman, the Wang family has received great benefits from Gao Huaiyuan. Not only the profits from the soap, but also the other gouache business of the Wang family has also improved a lot. He also tried to trial-produce soap by himself, but

After tinkering for a long time, he couldn't figure out the method at all, and after asking around, he couldn't find out anything about the soap formula from the Gao family. In the end, he had to give up and cooperate with Gao Huaiyuan honestly, so he valued Gao Huaiyuan very much.

Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was not polite and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wang is indeed very powerful. I immediately noticed that I have something to ask for. In fact, this matter is not a big deal. When I passed by here, I heard that Ezhou has taken in many refugees.

Shopkeeper Wang also knows that I am a northerner. Although I am not at home during this period, I have made a lot of money. When I go back this time, I want to renovate and expand the house at home, and I want to find some people from here to go back and work.

So I thought of these Northerners, who are good to use, but I am not familiar with the place here and want to recruit some craftsmen, but I have no connections, so I thought of you, Shopkeeper Wang, and wanted to ask you to help me.

Among them, I want to find some people who are good at craftsmanship. I wonder if Shopkeeper Wang can help me with this?"

Wang Jian heard this and immediately laughed and said: "What do I think it is! Isn't it just recruiting some craftsmen from the north? This is easy to say. Now that the war between Song and Jin Dynasty has begun, a large number of refugees have poured into Ezhou, and the government can't push it away now."

It’s no problem to go out and find someone like this, but I don’t know what kind of craftsmen Master Gao wants to recruit, so I’ll just go and do it for you!”

After talking to Wang Jian, Gao Huaiyuan realized what the government was planning. It turned out that the government here often captured people who had escaped from the north and used them as official slaves. Firstly, they could be used as laborers to work for the government, and secondly, they could also be used as slaves.

You can sell some and get some money. Anyway, these people are people with no land and no status. If they can extract some resources, the government will not let go of this opportunity.

This kind of thing is already commonplace, otherwise Wang Jian would not agree so readily. This has something to do with Gao Huaiyuan not being familiar with the current situation. Those officials in the government are doing it for money.

You can all imagine that in name it is to capture spies, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to use this opportunity to openly traffic in humans!

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan said this and did not tell Wang Jian the real situation was because he could never let anyone else, especially someone like Wang Jian, avoid being controlled by others in the future.

After some discussion, Wang Jian did not have any doubts about Gao Huaiyuan's words, and readily agreed to the matter, and immediately called one of his servants over and ordered him to take Gao Huaiyuan to the labor camp to clear things up and let Gao Huaiyuan

Pick some out there and buy them back for later use.

Gao Huaiyuan then thanked Wang Jian and asked Zhou Hao and Wang Jian's servant to handle the matter. He also whispered to Zhou Hao that once these people were redeemed, he would immediately arrange for personnel to be sent back to Daye County.

What trouble will Ye Chang Meng Duo cause again?

But Wang Jian refused to let Gao Huaiyuan leave, and insisted on holding a banquet at the Wangyue Tower on the corner of the street to cleanse Gao Huaiyuan. Gao Huaiyuan had something on his mind, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree and went to the restaurant with Wang Jian to eat.

After drinking and chatting during the dinner, Wang Jian learned that Gao Huaiyuan was awarded the post of Baoyi Lang for his merit. Wang Jian did not dare to underestimate Gao Huaiyuan and made up his mind to establish a good relationship with Gao Huaiyuan. In his opinion,

, Gao Huaiyuan not only knows how to make a lot of novelty things, but his skills are also amazing!

Just after midnight in the afternoon, Zhou Hao returned to the inn. Gao Huaiyuan knew that things were going smoothly and that the surrendered soldiers should have been redeemed, so he immediately sent two teenagers without asking any questions.

Zhou Hao went out. It was not convenient for him to show up at this time. After all, the prisoners of war knew him. Zhao Tong had not been rescued at this time, which would save them from any trouble after they recognized him.

So Zhou Hao immediately took his two young men with him, left the inn, and took those who had just been redeemed out of the city. With the deeds of sale issued by the government, this group of people had legal status and would not return.

Something went wrong, so they were sent out of the city smoothly and headed towards Daye County.

Next, the matter of Zhao Ting was left. Gao Huaiyuan decided not to ask Wang Jian for help, and they could only do this on their own.

Because Zhao Tong claimed that he was from the Song Dynasty, and people with noses and eyes said that he was from Suizhou, but there was no road certificate on him. After interrogating him several times, the government felt that even if he was not a Jin spy, he was probably a deserter, so he

After being severely tortured, they didn't bother to care about him anymore and left him in the prison to fend for themselves. It was wartime after all, so there was no time to confirm his words!

With this, Gao Huaiyuan made up his mind. Before it was too late, he went to the place where Zhao Tong was imprisoned to check the terrain in person. Then he returned to the inn and quietly gathered his young men together.

After a while, based on his own inspection and Li Ergou's description, he drew a floor plan of the government office and marked the location of Zhao Tong's prison cell.

When doing these things, Gao Huaiyuan seemed to have returned to his previous life. When working as a police officer, especially before arresting a suspect, they usually first understand the terrain. Unexpectedly, what they learned this time could actually be used.

He was used to rescue the person who rescued him, but this time his identity seemed to be reversed and he became a suspect who wanted to rob the prison. It felt really strange!

According to the information obtained by Li Ergou and the others, Gao Huaiyuan learned about various relevant matters in detail, including the number of jailers, their locations, the time of changing guards, etc. After asking about the time of opening the city, he began to make arrangements.

Got up.

Soon everyone figured out what they needed to do, and left the inn one after another to get ready. Gao Huaiyuan himself lay on the bed, closing his eyes and resting, waiting for the action to begin.

The streets and alleys gradually became colder as the night fell. People on the streets, which had been noisy all day, returned to their homes one after another. Only the prodigal sons who were nostalgic for the land of fireworks hugged the prostitutes and went out in restaurants from time to time.

There was a lot of laughter, and watchmen walked back and forth on the street from time to time, shouting to be careful of candles.

When the entire Ezhou City was completely quiet, it was already the third watch. After hearing the watchman's bangs ringing four times, Gao Huaiyuan turned over and stood up from the bed. At this time, there was already silence in the inn, and everyone

Everyone has already fallen asleep.

After one by one the teenagers packed up, they tiptoed out of the room one after another, and quietly walked to the stable in the backyard of the inn. A donkey lazily stretched out its head to look at them, and then lowered its head again.

Gao Huaiyuan, like everyone else, was dressed in short clothes and squatted under the wall. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he nodded slightly, then jumped up to the top of the wall like a spiritual ape, and then the teenagers remained silent.

One by one, they clambered up the wall and climbed out of the inn.dd
