Chapter 10
Li Laoqi was reluctant in every possible way, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs. What was Li Gui's decision to do? What use could he, a puppet second village leader, do?

After Li Gui packed up his gold, silver, and valuables, he took everything with him, and then took Li Laoqi and five or six powerful men down to Yushan Mountain.

Although Li Laoqi and others did not know the route to Dezhou City, they were very familiar with the surrounding roads.

With a few people leading the way, Li Gui successfully found the forgotten trail, left the mountain, and arrived at Shagou Town.

The goods they get from daily robberies are all sold here, and they are also familiar with the heads here.

If you want to buy or sell weapons and armor, you must find these acquaintances.

When everyone came to the outside of the town, they saw a sea fishing document posted on the side of the dilapidated city gate. Looking from a distance, they saw a person painted on it, with eyes like copper bells, a wide mouth swallowing the sky, and a fierce look.

When he got closer, Li Gui looked over and saw that it read:

"The criminal, Li Gui, was from Yishui County. He killed the magistrate of Yishui County, four government officials, and seven common people. It was an unforgivable crime. If anyone gets hold of this person's head, go to the state and report it. He will be rewarded with three thousand guans and informed." The information will lead to the arrest of the criminal. Anyone who conceals the information and fails to report it will be guilty of the same crime as the criminal."

Finally, there is the date and signature, with a red official seal stamped on it.

Li Gui couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at the portrait that looked half human and half ghost-like.

Damn it if you can find talent for such a broken image!
But there is a name on it, so I have to be careful.

He glanced sideways at the men around him, and then realized that these guys just glanced at the wanted poster without any sign of concern.

Apparently, none of these people could read.

Normally, special government officials should be arranged to explain and inform the official documents of this kind of sea arrest, so that the illiterate people can understand the meaning of the documents.

But the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In such a remote town, the government servants are just doing it for a living. How can any of them be serious and responsible?

It's hot and muggy today, and if you stand under the sun for a long time, you'll probably suffer from heat stroke, and the officials won't sympathize with this!

Except for the tax collector who was sitting in the shade at the city gate and still insisting on collecting taxes, the other people had long since disappeared.

Li Laoqi and others often go down the mountain to sell their stolen goods. Everyone at the city gate has known them for a long time, and they are not surprised. They have never shouted or wanted to catch them.

After paying a few coins to enter the city, everyone entered the city smoothly.

"Brother, should we go sell things first or buy things first?"

Li Gui looked up at the sun, estimated the time, and said, "It's almost noon. Brothers must be hungry too. Let's kill the Hungry Fire first."

Li Laoqi understood and immediately took the lead and walked to the east of the city.

"The largest restaurant in Shagou Town is Qianchilou, owned by Li Daguan."

"The chefs here are specially invited from the state, and their skills are excellent, especially Yimeng Whole Scorpion and Yimeng Single Chicken, which are the most famous."

"My little brother has also heard of the famous name for a long time, but he can't afford it at all. This time, I borrowed my brother's help to come to the tooth festival."

Li Laoqi was flattering himself with a smile, but was blocked by Li Gui with just one word.

"Don't worry. When a certain village is established, we will invite this cook up the mountain. It's just for business."

When he thought that the new leader of the stronghold would cause trouble in the stronghold, Li Laoqi suddenly felt frightened and had no interest in talking anymore.

When he arrived at the Thousand Feet Tower, Li Gui looked up and found that it was only forty or fifty feet tall at most, which was far from being a Thousand Feet Tower.

Those mean-spirited scholars can actually fool people with false numbers!

Li Gui cursed and stepped into the door of the restaurant. The waiter immediately greeted him warmly. "Please invite the guests inside. Should we sit in the lobby or go to the private room upstairs?"

"Open a private room!"

Money is the courage of a hero. If you have money in your pocket, you will not panic.

Li Gui's money comes easily, and he naturally spends it generously.

The waiter now led the way, leading several people up to the third floor and into the private room.

The private room is not big, but quite elegant.

There is a round table in the middle and several round stools surrounding it.

The window facing the street was open, and there was a pot of green plants on the windowsill. Li Gui couldn't identify what kind of flower it was, but the fragrance was fragrant anyway.

There is a small table against the wall, with a kettle and towels on it, and the Four Treasures of the Study are placed next to it.

There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Judging from the signatures, they should be famous people in the town or state, but most of them are not big people, they are all worthless things.

Li Gui took the round stool and sat down by the window. He opened his arms and straddled the window sideways. He turned his head and looked down to see if there was any beautiful lady passing by.

But it's a pity that in such a small place, there are many women with rough hands and feet, but not even a few young ladies.

The waiter quickly wiped the already clean table again, and asked: "What do you guys want to order?"

"If you have any good wine or food, just bring it over! And the chef's specialty dishes in the building, I'll have a portion of them all. If there's not enough, add more."

"Okay, some guests, please sit down for a moment!"

Just as the waiter was about to leave, Li Gui suddenly said, "Brother, wait here. Let me ask you, where can I find a guide who is familiar with Yizhou's geography in the city?"

"Returning to my guest, in Shagou Town, only Li Daguan's residence has such guides who often travel to various places. If you are in need, you might as well try Li Daguan's Zhuangzi."

Li Gui nodded slightly and grabbed dozens of copper coins as reward.

The waiter took the copper coins, smiled happily, thanked him and left, then brought tea, snacks, fruits and other food to the table for a few people to appetize first.

After several people finished their snacks, the hot dishes were ready and served like water.

The few people Li Gui brought out this time were not taken seriously by the original leader of the village, Zhao Heitou. In the past, they followed him down the mountain and worked as coolies doing odd jobs. Where have they seen anything delicious?

Fortunately, the Li family brother beheaded the evil-hearted Zhao Heitou and became the leader of the village, so they can live a good life now.

Brother Li is generous and brings his brothers to this restaurant to eat well, so why should he be picky?
At that moment, a group of people shook off their cheeks and just picked out meat and took down their chopsticks to eat haphazardly.

Only Li Gui slowly tasted the chef's special dishes.

Yimeng whole scorpions, a dish like this, have been completely extinct in later generations. After all, wild whole scorpions are on the verge of extinction, and no one dares to eat protected animals.

Even if there are some farmed scorpions, the taste is still very different from wild whole scorpions, slightly inferior.

Li Gui never thought that he would taste this delicious food again a thousand years ago.

While I was eating, there was a sound on the door suddenly, and someone pushed the door open and came in.

"Haha, let me tell you, it must be a friend from Yushan here!"
