Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Two

How did Gao Lang Gujie exchange sesame seed cakes for peace Good old Jialai stopped talking at this point; but Piccolozo said nothing else, only said: "You come and take them, you come and take them! Their eggs are so good and soft, they are just right for you to grind flour and make biscuits." Jia Lai had no choice but to go back to Gaolang Gujie, and saw him kneeling in a small corner of his room with his head bare, bent over, praying to God to appease Bi Ke Luoshou's fury and restore him to reason so that he would not go to war.Seeing Jia Lai coming back, he hurriedly asked:

"Why, my friend, my friend, what news have you brought me?" "There is no good news," Jalai replied. "This man is irrational, a God-forsaken man." "Really? But," Gao Langgujie said again, "my friend, what reason does he have for aggression like this?" "He didn't give any reason, he just mentioned the biscuit angrily. I don't know if anyone offended his biscuit seller," Jalai said. Gao Langgujie said: "I have to ask first, and then decide what to do." He immediately sent someone to find out the facts, and found that someone had forcibly taken a few sesame seed cakes from them, and Markai was hit on the head with a stick.But the biscuits had been paid for, and as for that Marquet, it was he who first wounded Ferger's leg with a whip.The Council of State agreed that Forges should defend himself.Nevertheless, Gaolang Gujie said:

"Since it's just for a few biscuits, I will try my best to satisfy him. Because I really don't like to start a war." So he asked Ming how many sesame seed cakes he took; it was said to be four or five dozen; he ordered five carts to be made that night, one of which was to use high-quality butter, high-quality egg yolks, high-quality turmeric powder, and high-quality spices , to Marchais, and to compensate him for his loss, seven hundred thousand and three "Philippes" as payment to the barber for bandaging his wounds, and in addition The farm ③ is given to him, and he will enjoy it forever, and his children and grandchildren will not pay taxes.These many things were still sent to Jialai to escort them.On the way, Jia Lai ordered some thick branches and reeds to be broken from the willow forest, and filled the carts. The driver also took the branches, and he also took one in his hand. His intention was to let people know that they only wanted peace. , they came to make peace.

When they reached the gate of the walled city, they asked Bi Keluoshou to speak in the name of Gao Lang Gujie.Piccolosau refused to let them enter the city, and he refused to come out to answer. He said that he couldn't come out because of something, and told them to tell what they wanted to say to Captain Duke Dillon, who installed a cannon on the city.So Jialai had no choice but to say to him: "Your Excellency, in order to settle the dispute and remove all excuses for your refusal to restore our old covenant, we now return you the biscuits that caused the dispute. Our men took five dozen of you and paid for them; but we love In peace, we will reimburse you for five cars, and this one will be given to Marl, who has suffered a greater loss. In addition, to completely satisfy him, here is another seven hundred thousand and three dollars for 'Philip'. In addition, He may also hope for some benefits. We also gave him a farm in Baumadie. A general term for all gold coins of the sixteenth century.

② The barber at that time also performed surgical treatment and bandaging. ③ The Baumatier Farm is located near Seyup, and was once the property of the Rabelais family. ④ The willow forest where Gao Kangda was born, see Chapter 6 of this book. It belongs to him and his descendants forever, and is exempt from paying taxes. The property transfer certificate is also attached here.For God's sake, let us get along in peace from now on, and you go back to your country happily, and let go of this city that you admit you have no right to occupy, and be friends with us as before. " Duke Diyon reported this remark to Bi Ke Luoshou, and took the opportunity to challenge him:

"These guys are scared stupid. My God, Gaolanggujie scared the shit out, this old drunkard! He doesn't know how to fight, he can only drink with his arms around the bottle. I mean buckle the biscuits and money Come down, build fortifications here, and continue to fight. They used this little biscuits to deceive you, do they really think you are a big fool? The thing is very clear, you used to treat them too well and too weak, so you used them You have to look down on people like this. For bad people: the nicer you are to him, the more he will bully you, and the tougher you are to him, the more he will flatter you."

"Yes, yes, yes," said Piccolosso, "St. James has spirits, and they deserve it! Just do as you say." Duke Diyon said: "However, let me remind you of one thing. Our supplies here are insufficient, and there is not much to eat. If Gaolanggujie surrounded us today, your subordinates and I would have to Pull out all the teeth in your mouth. Pull out until there are only three teeth left for each person. With these three teeth, it is still too fast to eat our food." Piccolosho said, "We have enough to eat. Are we out to eat, or to fight?" Duke Dillon said: "Of course it is for war. However, you can only dance when you are full, and you have no strength when you are hungry."

"Too much nonsense!" said Piccolosso. "You buckle up the things they sent before you talk." So he withheld all the money, sesame seed cakes, cattle and carts brought in, and only told them that they are not allowed to come again in the future, and the reason will be told to them tomorrow, and if there is nothing else, they will be sent away.The visitor had no choice but to reply to Gaolang Gujie, telling him what had happened, and saying that it seemed that unless there was a fierce war, there was no hope of peace.
