The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 131 Invite everyone to eat steamed buns
"I heard from the officials who passed on the news that you caught the cold, so I told them to go to the city to find another person who can speak Japanese, you..."

Gao Meng was a little surprised by Li Xiaodao's desperation to come to work, so he hurriedly let her into the room. The prison chief lit a charcoal fire for him in this room, and he moved a chair and placed it next to the charcoal brazier. , Let Li Xiaodao sit to keep warm.

"Come here!" Gao Meng called the soldiers guarding the gate to come in: "Bring a pot of hot water, and bring a cup or a bowl," he ordered.

The soldier took the order, saluted and went out.

"General Gao, let's go to the trial," Li Xiaodao said to Gao Meng, "Tomorrow we are going to recover the provincial capital, so you should be in a hurry."

"I didn't expect you to be quite clever." Gao Meng also sat down beside the charcoal brazier, putting his hands on it to warm up the fire, "I'm really in a hurry. I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow to arrest people. There is no evidence that the prisoner has passed the Japanese. , Those people interrogated last night were not the leaders or managers of the Japanese pirates, and they didn’t say anything useful. But you are like this... okay?” Gao Meng asked.

"I... cough cough cough... I can, it doesn't matter if it's a while."

Gao Meng pondered: "Then help me to interrogate the leader, Korokuro Tanaka! He is the leader of one of the two Japanese pirate teams this time. He is from Dongying and knows a lot of inside information. As long as he has his testimony, tomorrow I will You can go to the provincial capital to arrest people."

"Arresting people..." Li Xiaodao wondered, "Could it be that what Zongbing Gao said about arresting people..."

"That's right, those in the provincial capital who open the door to Japanese pirates are all criminals," Gao Meng snorted, "It's okay to tell you, I have an imperial decree from the Holy Majesty to Prince Rong on my left hand, and the imperial decree says that once the prince finds out that Da Yuchao has In case of emergency military situation, we can quickly arrange for a force of less than 3 people to send troops for rescue without first reporting to the court; I have a secret order from the prince on my right hand, and I can decide how to deal with the Japanese pirates and those who understand them. So today, as long as the leader of the Japanese pirates can speak , Tell me a little more, and tomorrow I can take my testimony and go to the provincial capital to arrest Japanese criminals."

Listening to Gao Meng's words, Li Xiaodao was a little shocked, a little happy and a little sad, but she didn't speak quietly.

"Thanks for your hard work," Gao Meng said again after being silent for a while.

Li Xiaodao smiled slightly and shook his head: "I'm also a citizen of the provincial capital, and I hope to go back sooner and see the people I care about. If I can drive those officials out of Southeast Province...cough cough... I've tried my best today to help you finish the trial of this pirate leader."

Gao Meng thought for a while, and said: "Let's do it! We won't go to the dungeon for interrogation. I'll ask the jailer to bring him over and interrogate him here."

This saved Li Xiaodao's life. When she stepped forward bravely just now, she was still thinking that with her weak body, she might really vomit once she entered the dungeon.

But there is one thing that Li Xiaodao is very curious about, "General Gao...cough cough...you can't speak Japanese, how did you convince this Japanese pirate leader to be willing to confess?"

Gao Meng smiled and said: "It's very simple, I asked the master to write two words on the paper and show it to him." Gao Meng casually pulled a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Li Xiaodao.

Li Xiaodao opened it and saw the word "freedom" written on it.

She smiled slightly. The free writing of Japanese language and the free writing of Chinese characters are indeed basically the same.

But does the pirate leader understand the same meaning as Gao Zongbing understands?

After escorting the Japanese pirate leader Korokuro Tanaka into the room for questioning, he realized that it was not what Gao Zongbing thought.

Seeing these two words, Korokuro Tanaka thought he was going to be let go, so he nodded repeatedly, which was misunderstood by Gao Zongbing as agreeing to explain.But when he was going out, he was tied up again, and he was escorted to a room. The person inside was the cavalry general of Daiyu Dynasty who grabbed him with his own hands. What's the situation?
After Li Xiaodao explained, the two of them understood what was going on.

Li Xiaodao was really afraid that Tanaka Xiaoliulang would go back on his word, but she really underestimated this Gao Zongbing.

A seemingly vulgar cavalry leader knows how to handle people's hearts.

Gao Zongbing briefly stated a few conditions, saying that although Korokuro Tanaka wanted to protect his partners desperately, it was really difficult to refuse Gaomeng's preferential conditions, that is——

Gao Zongbing actually promised that as long as he was willing to confess, not only would he be spared, but the rest of the captives would not be harmed at all. He would release them all when the matter in the provincial capital was resolved. Release some captives first.

When Li Xiaodao was translating, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. Gao Zongbing seemed to be a jealous person, how could he agree to let the Japanese pirates go so easily?
For Korokuro Tanaka, the compatriots in Japan are of course more important than the partners of Dai Yuchao. After all, partners can find new ones, right?
In this way, the rest of the interrogation went smoothly. Korokuro Tanaka explained in detail how he had cooperated with the three high officials in the provincial capital over the years, and he obediently signed and drew a pledge.

As soon as Tianzhong Xiaoliulang was escorted away, Li Xiaodao asked anxiously: "Mr. Gao? Why did you..."

"Why did you promise to release the Japanese pirates?" Gao Meng said with a smile: "Yes, for the sake of testimony, I promised to release them, but I didn't promise that after I released them, I wouldn't arrest them again?"

Tsk tsk, it really is true that soldiers are not tired of deceit, Li Xiaodao couldn't help saying in his heart that Cao Min really admires him.

Gao Meng looked at Li Xiaodao's expression of not knowing what to say, and laughed.

"Thank you very much today, I'll find someone to take you back," Gao Meng said to Li Xiaodao after laughing.

"No hurry, I still have something to discuss with Mr. Gao," Li Xiaodao coughed twice and whispered.

"What's the matter?" Gao Meng asked.At this moment, he was a little impressed by this desperate woman who came to help interrogate the Japanese pirates even though she was suffering from the wind and cold, and he was quite patient when asking questions.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve... Now there are tens of thousands of refugees from the provincial capital in Anzhou City. I think... cough cough... I have an unrealistic idea, listen to Mr. Gao Let me hear if it can be realized..." Li Xiaodao himself felt that this idea was a bit exaggerated, but... still wanted to say it.

"Just say what you think, don't hesitate," Gao Meng said bluntly.

"I'm thinking... If all the refugees in Anzhou City are invited to eat two steamed buns for the New Year's Eve dinner... Is 20 taels enough? I've done the math. If a steamed bun costs a penny, 20 refugees are 20 taels. Two... I can pay taels of silver, but it's a bit difficult, who will steam so many buns..."

It's too miserable to escape hungry in a foreign country on New Year's Eve. Although two buns can only fill one meal, but it's New Year's Eve anyway, let's eat buns for good luck.

Seeing Gao Zongbing's silence after listening, Li Xiaodao smiled embarrassedly, "Sure enough, this idea is still too exaggerated. If it doesn't work, forget it...cough cough..."

"It's a good idea. My three thousand soldiers also want to eat steamed stuffed buns."

Gao Meng seemed to have figured out a way, he said with a smile: "Of course, such things that benefit the people must be done by the people's parents and officials. You don't need to pay for it, Miss Li. I will visit Anzhou Muchao Caiwang later, let He let out some of the greedy water in his stomach, and tomorrow he will pay enough money for all the steamed stuffed bun shops in the provincial capital, and all the steamed stuffed bun shops will be open for free for one day and not allowed to close, what do you think?"

Li Xiaodao was stunned, he could only say, is he worthy of being General Gao?
