Pirate Song

Just when Gao Huaiyuan pulled a cart of pigeon cages and carried Liu Fugui back to Crouching Tiger Village, there were several men in ragged clothes tied up inside the village. They were all unkempt, covered in mud and blood, and looked in a miserable state.

Gao Huaiyuan was shocked and immediately asked Liu'er: "What's going on? Why are these people tied here?"

Liu Er glanced at Gao Huaiyuan with some sadness and whispered: "The young master said he would come back in the past two or three days, but he didn't see anyone for more than ten days. He doesn't even know what happened in Zhuangzi!"

Gao Huaiyuan knew that this was a rare display of Liu Er's temper, so he chuckled and said, "Something went wrong when we went out this time. It was too late to inform you, so we delayed it for a few days. Please tell me what these people are like."

what's going on?"

After Liu'er said this, she regretted a little. Although she was favored, she still abided by her identity and was always obedient to Gao Huaiyuan. Today, she didn't know why she suddenly became irritable towards Gao Huaiyuan, so she didn't

Why bother with this matter anymore? He explained to Gao Huaiyuan: "Three days ago in the middle of the night, these people climbed over the backyard of our Zhuangzi with flying tiger claws and wanted to steal inside the Zhuangzi. As soon as they entered the yard, they

They were discovered by our black general. These dogs were really powerful. They swarmed up and caught all these thieves. Even the two people who were keeping watch outside the village did not run away in the end. They were all captured.

We caught them! It’s these guys!”

Gao Huaiyuan laughed immediately after hearing this. At this time, Zhou Hao also came over, saluted Gao Huaiyuan and then said: "It's their unlucky this time. They walked in so easily, but they didn't expect that there are still people in our Zhuangzi."

I have so many dogs, but when I was attacked by dogs, I lost my sense of control and one guy actually jumped into the pit. It was so fucking stinky!

I have already interrogated them. These thieves are the same ones who came to steal from us last time. I have also sent people to their lair to seize the stolen goods. I will let the government people seize them and take them back!

I'm waiting for you to deal with these ugly people when you come back! If you don't come back, I will send people to Tongshan County to find you! Sister Liu'er is worried all day long for fear that you will come back.

Something happened!"

Gao Huaiyuan rubbed his nose. It took such a long time to go out to do errands this time. He promised to come back in two or three days, but it ended up being away for more than ten days. For people like Liu Er, they would indeed be worried.

And he was only busy with Liu Fugui's affairs and forgot to inform Liu'er and the others. No wonder Liu'er was so angry when she saw him this time!

"Haha! It's my fault for not thinking carefully about this matter and making you worry! As for the way these thieves are tied up in our village like this, there's no other way. Go find Capt. Xing and ask him to bring these thieves to the government for punishment.

Save money to feed these bastards!" Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay much attention to these thieves and waved his hand to Zhou Hao to deal with them and hand them over to the government.

When a thief who had been bitten by a dog and was covered with bruises heard this, he was immediately frightened and begged: "Sir, please spare my life! I will never dare to do it again. I also beg the senior official to spare my life. I'm sorry."

Even if you are a cow or a horse, you are willing to repay the high officials! It is all because of the young people who are obsessed with money that they make big mistakes. From now on, the young people will never dare to do it again!" This guy started to plead with tears and runny noses.

.

As soon as they heard that they were going to be sent to the official position, this gang of thieves were frightened. They were usually gangsters in Daye County and spent their days doing nothing but idleness.

If they are sent to the government for robbing houses and stealing chickens and dogs, if their previous cases are revealed, even if they are not beheaded, they will at least be put in jail, and at the worst, they will be imprisoned in front of the army and used as cannon fodder to die.

So one and two of them cried and begged Gao Huaiyuan not to send them to the official.

"If I had known this, why bother? Now that I know it, I'm afraid it's too late. Go and make arrangements to send these guys away as soon as possible, so as not to be an eyesore here. We are still busy now!" Gao Huaiyuan will not sympathize with this gang.

Guys, when he saw their sly looks, he became angry. Compared to Xue Yan, although Xue Yan was also a thieves in the past, these guys were really bad. For people like them, Gao Huaiyuan would not

Overflowing with love.

Regardless of the pleading of these guys, Gao Huaiyuan left them behind and started arranging Liu Fugui's affairs. Anyway, the place in Zhuangzi was much larger now. In order to facilitate Liu Fugui's training of carrier pigeons, he simply freed up a corner of the backyard to specifically accommodate Liu Fugui and his pigeons.

Those pigeons.

When Liu Fugui followed Gao Huaiyuan into Crouching Tiger Villa, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. When he first agreed to follow Gao Huaiyuan as a slave, he just thought that Gao Huaiyuan was a kind-hearted rich man. But after he actually arrived here, he discovered something

Something seemed wrong. It turned out that Gao Huaiyuan was far from being a rich man, but was indeed considered a wealthy man. Especially when Li Ergou, who accompanied him, said that this was a manor built by Gao Huaiyuan and he owned it completely.

After acquiring the property here, he realized that he had underestimated the young master.

And after he entered Zhuangzi, he found that although the people here did their own things, they were all very well-behaved, and everyone was very respectful to Gao Huaiyuan. They were even kind to Gao Huaiyuan, a lame man, and no one discriminated against or discriminated against him.

By waiting for him slowly, he was completely relieved and felt that he had made the right choice this time.

When he saw that Gao Huaiyuan had arranged a quite spacious residence for him, Liu Fugui felt even more uneasy and felt that he had deserved it. He waved his hands repeatedly and asked Gao Huaiyuan not to take such good care of him and just find him a small room.

That's enough, the key is to place these precious pigeons!

"You can live here with peace of mind. In the future, food and drinks will be brought to you. As long as you raise and train these pigeons well, it is enough. As for placing these pigeons, you can rest assured. There are many craftsmen in my village. In two days

I can build you a luxurious pigeon loft within a short period of time! And I will arrange a few people for you to learn how to raise pigeons with you. You will have to worry about this in the future!" Gao Huanyuan smiled at Liu Fugui.

said.

Sure enough, as Gao Huaiyuan said, in two days, more than a dozen masons and carpenters built a large pigeonhouse next to the house where Liu Fugui lived. Compared with the pigeonhouse that Liu Fugui put together by himself, this

The pigeonhouse was as luxurious as a palace, but Liu Fugui was so happy that he carefully invited the pigeons brought by the car into their new home to comfort them.

Strange to say, when these pigeons were transported here, they were quite frightened on the road, and their spirits were also very low. They all looked panicked, huddled together and made grunting noises. But when Liu Fugui appeared in front of them

When in front of them, these pigeons immediately calmed down, quickly regained their energy, began to eat and drink water, and wandered around the pigeon loft as if they were inspecting their new home.

Such a scene surprised Gao Huaiyuan and others. If dogs are smarter, then it is really commendable that these birds can be so obedient and understand human nature. Gao Huaiyuan knew that this trip to Tongshan County was really unprecedented.

In vain, he finally found another precious talent.

Although Gao Huaiyuan originally wanted to get some pigeon breeders back, he didn't have much experience in raising pigeons, and he didn't know how to train homing pigeons. He just wanted to breed some pigeons first and then slowly explore, but this time he no longer had to

I'm worried about this matter. With this pigeon fanatic Liu Fugui, his army of homing pigeons may be put into use in a short time!

Most of the people in Zhuangzi were curious about the fact that Gao Huaiyuan had been away for more than ten days and brought back a lame man and a cart of pigeons. They felt that Gao Huaiyuan seemed to have started to neglect his real job, raising dogs and birds, but

But it greatly satisfies the curiosity of girls like Liu'er. Unlike the boys, they can do many things. On weekdays, they can only do some washing and washing, or weave and sew.

Things like clothing, suddenly there were so many birds in Zhuangzi, and when they heard that they were recruiting people to help in the pigeon farm, these girls responded and went to help Liu Fugui take care of these pigeons.

Gao Huaiyuan originally wanted to find some manpower among the boys, but after hearing the girls' requests and Liu'er's arguments, he finally agreed to Liu'er's request and selected those girls.

They went to help, and this was how Liu Er and the others' requests were met.

Liu Fugui was lucky this time. He was surrounded by a group of girls all day long, asking questions like a fairy. Liu Fugui was like a god.

As for those thieves, it is natural to imagine that Capt. Xing did not dare to neglect after receiving the news. He immediately took several captors and hurried to Wohu Village and met Gao Huaiyuan.

It has been a while since Capt.

The helpless refugees have become a serious source of instability in society. When many people can't find a way out, they take risks and engage in the business of killing people and stealing goods, which makes Xing Captou and his gang busy.

So although Gao Huaiyuan has returned to Daye County, he and Captou Xing have only met once in the county. If it weren't for the fact that Gao Huaiyuan came back not long ago before joining the army, Captou Xing would really want to drag Gao Huaiyuan to help him.

go.

This time, when he heard that something happened to Gao Huaiyuan's Zhuangzi, he dropped what he was doing and immediately rushed to Crouching Tiger Village. He was quite interested in Gao Huaiyuan, his little friend, not to mention that Gao Huaiyuan now had another protector.

Lang's name can be regarded as a jobless ninth-grade official, so a low-level military attache like Xing Baotou naturally pays more attention to Gao Huaiyuan's affairs.

"I've met Young Master Gao! It's all because of my incompetence that Young Master Gao has been harassed here!" As soon as he saw Gao Huaiyuan, Mr.

When employees meet their superiors, they appear to be much more respectful than before.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately stepped forward and dragged Xing Baotou up, laughing loudly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Xing Baotou, you are much more polite now! Why should you and I be so polite, and let you salute me? Isn't that right?

Are you going to kill me, brother? Come and follow me into the village, we have to have a drink at noon!"

Seeing that Gao Huaiyuan was still not arrogant towards his group of captors and was still so enthusiastic, Capt.

I am very impressed by the brothers, not to mention that Master Gao is now a man of great fame, so it is appropriate to salute him!"

Several other catchers who followed also gave Gao Huaiyuan gifts, and then followed Gao Huaiyuan into Zhuangzi.

Looking at the huge Crouching Tiger Villa, these trappers were very surprised. They did not expect that in just a few years, Gao Huaiyuan would run such a large villa in a remote mountain col. They were even more dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan.

Dare to look down upon it, even when entering Zhuangzi, I was careful not to move around casually, for fear of violating Gao Huaiyuan's taboo.

"Looking at what Brother Xing said, we have been separated a lot. After I came back during this period, I was really too busy, so I treated you brothers lightly. This time I could have sent these thieves to the county government to hand over

It’s for you, but I also want you to take this opportunity to relax, so I’d like to ask you all to come over. Brother Xing, you said I’m too arrogant, don’t you want to take this opportunity to treat you to some drinks?

Haha! Sit down!" Gao Huaiyuan asked Xing Baotou and the others to sit down.

After Capt. Xing asked about the thieves, the banquet was over, and then he relaxed and became brothers with Gao Huaiyuan again. After the conversation started, he praised Gao Huaiyuan for a while, which made Gao Huaiyuan sweat.

Ichiban.

Gao Huaiyuan held the wine glass and persuaded him to drink, and said with a smile: "Brother Xing, don't mention the things before the army. To be honest, although meritorious service is true, it is also forced to have no choice! If we don't fight, we will be killed by the Jin Army.

If you lose your head, anyone would do their best, it's just a coincidence! I wonder what have you been busy with, Brother Xing, during this period? Why haven't you come to see me for so long to catch up with me?"

After Xing raised his head and drank a large glass of wine, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where do you have that free time? Master Gao doesn't know. Since the war started, our group of people are as tired as donkeys every day. There are many people on the ground in the county.

It’s not peaceful, and it’s us, the guards, who have suffered. Moreover, before Master Gao came back, County Lieutenant Wang went to the front of the army again. Only me, an old guy, and a few brothers were left to maintain order on the ground. I was very tired every day.

, I couldn’t come even if I thought about it! If I hadn’t known that Young Master Gao was busy, I would have really wanted to ask Young Master Gao to help us! If Young Master Gao could help, we would definitely be able to deter those thieves on the border of our county and save the country.

We have worked so hard!”

"Oh? Isn't the ground in the county very peaceful now?" Gao Huaiyuan was only busy with his Zhuangzi affairs during this period, and was also concerned about the war situation. He didn't pay much attention to these small things in the county.

So I didn't know much about the specific situation, so I asked Mr. Xing about it.

"Alas! Isn't this a common thing? As soon as a war breaks out, refugees will run towards our area. Now our county and the surrounding prefectures and counties are full of refugees. With so many refugees coming in all at once, some of them will have to go out.

The strong man is causing harm to the place, and this is what we do for a living. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep!” Xing Captou answered with a wry smile while drinking.

Gao Huaiyuan thought about the same situation. It can be said that these are troubled times, and it is impossible to achieve peace. It is really difficult for these gangs of captives.

"Young Master Gao may not know. I heard that although Mr. Meng and General Liu defeated the Jin Army in Zaoyang some time ago, the Jin Army did not give up. Now it is still fighting fiercely with our Song Army in Suizhou and Tanghe.

, there is a huge demand for supplies before the army. The county is busy all day raising military rations and recruiting people. Just dealing with these things will make the county magistrate and us people very busy. If this continues, I will

I really want to give up my job, it will tire people to death!" Xing Captou said.

In fact, there is no need for Mr. Xing to tell Gao Huaiyuan about this matter. He also knows that since he came back, because of the relationship between Huang Yan and others, he has often sent people between Junqian and Daye. The news can be said to be better than that of the county government.

You need to be more informed and know that the war is now in a stalemate and no one can do anything to anyone!

However, Gao Huaiyuan still had some ideas about the influx of refugees from the north into the south, and he had privately sent a message to Huang Yan, proposing his method, and asked Huang Yan to tell Meng Gong or Meng Zongzheng.

He couldn't help but said: "There is no way to do this. Now is the time for the army to recruit people. Northern refugees are pouring into the Song Dynasty in large numbers. We can use these people to form an army and recruit them to serve in the army to deal with the Jin army.

It can also reduce the pressure of refugees on the local area and have a new force to deal with the Jin Kingdom. It is a solution that has the best of both worlds!"

"Oh? Master Gao's idea is really good. It's a pity that you and I are in the local area now. Although this method is good, it can't be implemented! At the moment, several of our brothers are discussing something on the road. It's also hearsay. I don't know what it is.

It’s not true. I heard that Lieutenant Wang was unlucky when he served in front of the army this time. He was sent to the front line of Tanghe to accompany the army. He died in front of the army some time ago! But the news has not been confirmed yet. If Lieutenant Wang is really

If he dies, then the position of county captain in the county will be vacant. As Young Master Gao, he is now a ninth-grade Baoyoshiro after all. Why not do some exercise and become a county captain in the county! I will wait for it then.

It will be easier if you follow Young Master Gao!" Xing Captou suddenly told Gao Huaiyuan such news.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he was slightly startled, but immediately sighed and thought, is this also destined to happen? The last time Wang County Lieutenant pretended to be sick and asked himself to top the cylinder, he ran back to Daye County.

This time I was forced to go on an expedition, but I still died in front of the army. If this incident is true, it really corresponds to the saying, it is a blessing not a curse, but it is a disaster that cannot be avoided! dd
