Li Gouer had money in hand and originally wanted to go shopping, but was stopped by Zhu Zhengguo. The reason was simple. There were only two of them and they brought too many things. It was getting dark and the city gate was about to close when they left the city.

It would attract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. Once he was detained and searched, Li Gouer had dozens of coins on his body. How to explain such a large amount of money?

After being pointed out, Li Gou'er had to give up his original plan and simply bought some things, three kilograms of pork, a bucket of rice (about 14 to 15 kilograms), and several pairs of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body, and then hurriedly went to court with Zhu Zhengguo.

Rush to the nearest city gate exit.

About half an hour had passed since the robbery.

The two came to Nancheng, turned a corner, and immediately saw the tall city wall and the gate out of the city. However, Zhu Zhengguo, who was walking in front, immediately came back, grabbed Li Gouer, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Standing on the wall at the corner, Zhu Zhengguo bent over and poked his head out to look at the city gate, and then immediately retracted. The look on his face was already full of heaviness, and he was even a little nervous.

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?"

Li Gou'er was startled by Zhu Zhengguo's actions, and his face suddenly showed a nervous look.

Zhu Zhengguo smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that what we did has been discovered by others, and it has been brought to the government."

"It's impossible. How long has it been? How can the government handle things so quickly?"

Li Gouer was a little disbelieving. He crossed Zhu Zhengguo and stuck his head out to look at the city gate. When he saw it, his expression suddenly changed. He saw that the main gate of the south city had been closed. Only a few small doors on both sides were still open. There were people standing around.

The man holding the stick, the leader of whom had a large area of ​​purple and blue around his nose, and a face full of anger, walked back and forth, carefully watching everyone who came in and out.

Li Gou'er recognized this man at a glance. He was one of the two followers of the dandy.

Li Gouer looked at Zhu Zhengguo and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the person we robbed has an unusual identity!"

Zhu Zhengguo's face was tense, trying to calm down and thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, there was a burst of dense footsteps in the distance. The two people looked over quickly and saw several strong horses galloping, followed by dozens of servants holding sticks trotting behind them. The leader of the horseman had a white cloth wrapped around his head, wasn't he?

The dandy who was beaten?

Li Gouer's brain felt numb for a while, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's over, it's all over."

"Don't panic." Zhu Zhengguo's face was also a little pale, but after all, he had been a soldier and had killed people, so he was not as unbearable as Li Gou'er. He turned around and looked around, and found that the hiding place was a restaurant, so he pulled

Holding Li Gou'er, he strode in.

The lights were brightly lit inside the restaurant. It was now three quarters past nine o'clock and it was already past the meal time, but the business in the restaurant was still good. Almost all of the more than twenty tables on the first floor were occupied, and it was quite lively.

A waiter came up to them, took a look at them, and saw that the two of them were wearing tattered clothes and being dirty. The waiter's expression suddenly collapsed, and he said with a cold face: "You two, business is good now.

, If you want to eat rice, please come later."

The shop owner naturally hates this kind of people who are begging for free food. They will inevitably say bad words, but they will not go too far. After all, they are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. If they are offended, they will sit at the door of the shop, and this business will still be done.

Don't you want to sit down? Even if you ask the government for help, you still have to pay, so why bother!

Seeing that the waiter in the shop looked down on others, Li Gou'er suddenly became furious, but this was not the time to make loud noises and make trouble, so he had to grit his teeth to hold back his anger, took out a small piece of silver, which looked like three or four dollars, and weighed it in his hands.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Are there any seats on the second floor?"

Seeing the money in Li Gou'er's hand, the waiter's expression changed quickly. He immediately smiled, bent down, apologized repeatedly, then stepped aside and said, "There is a seat, of course there is a seat. You two gentlemen, please."

Go upstairs."

"If you have anything good to eat or drink, please bring it. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it."

Li Gou'er snorted, threw the broken silver to him, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The waiter kept saying that it was four coins of silver and about five hundred copper coins, which was enough for two people to eat and drink.

The two found a place on the second floor to sit down, and looked along the windowless corridor toward the city gate. The dandy had already arrived in front of the city gate. After dismounting, he shouted loudly and asked. The servants were all obedient, but no one was found.

, the master was so angry that no one dared to come forward to talk to him. The dandy was obviously very dissatisfied with this situation, and he yelled and cursed on the spot. The gatekeepers standing around obviously knew the identity of this person, even so.

What he did was against the rules, but no one dared to stop him.

The food was not yet cooked and the wine arrived first. Li Gou'er came to this world and had never drunk wine before. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was a bit bitter, the wine was not strong, and it did not taste good at all.

Li Gou'er saw the dandy gesticulating at the city gate and showing off his power. He put down his wine glass angrily and said angrily: "Who is this bastard? Did his family run this capital? Block the exit of the city gate, like this

If you are arrogant, no one will take care of you?"

Zhu Zhengguo shook his head and said: "The capital is the foundation of the dynasty, where dignitaries gather. There are so many arrogant and domineering people, so there is nothing to make a fuss about."

Li Gouer said: "This is not the exit from the capital. If we go out from other places, can they still use a large army to surround the entire city?"

"It is true that they cannot mobilize the garrison soldiers, but the exits of Fengjing's four major city gates, except for the south gate, will be closed on time at the fourth quarter of You hour. Even here, in half an hour, they will be closed.

Closed.”

Zhu Zhengguo used to be a soldier guarding the gate, so he knew the closing time of the city gate quite well.

Li Gou'er sighed: "Doesn't that mean we have to sit back and wait for death?"

"Dog, don't worry too much. The capital is so big. At worst, we can find a place to stay for one night and wait until dawn to think of a solution. At most, they can block the city gate exit, but they will never dare to stay inside the city.

Massive raids."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhu Zhengguo had stabilized his mind.

Li Gou'er nodded. After Zhu Zhengguo said this, his nervous mind relaxed a little.

Two meats and three vegetables were served. Li Gou'er and Zhu Zhengguo had already eaten some food during their previous shopping trip and were not hungry at all, so they just drank wine and remained silent.

Li Gou'er glanced around casually, but found a yellow brocade cloth posted on the wall not far away. It seemed to have something written on it. There was nothing to do now. Li Gou'er walked closer and looked carefully.

stand up.

The characters in this world were a little different from the traditional Chinese characters in his previous world, but the difference was not big. Li Gouer looked at it for a long time before he could barely understand what was written on it.

The general meaning is that the current imperial concubine Li Shi was born in a humble background, her ancestral home is Lijia Village, Linhuai County, Qizhou, Henan Province. Now she is rich and wealthy, but her relatives have been separated. She often hates it. Whenever she misses her relatives, she can't help but burst into tears.

The emperor is compassionate and has sent a message to all directions to look for his lost relatives. If you see this message, come to Fengjing to meet you as soon as possible.

Looking at the yellow brocade cloth, Li Gou'er stood there in a daze, and his mind couldn't help but think of the family past that his father had mentioned many times.

Our Li family's ancestral home is Lijia Village, Linhuai County, Qizhou, Henan Province. Our ancestors have made a living by farming for generations, and we have never produced any big shots. Although we are not a wealthy family, we still have hundreds of acres of land at home, so our family does not have to worry about food and drink.

, and lived peacefully like this for hundreds of years.

In your great-grandfather's generation, taxes began to become heavier and heavier, there were fewer and fewer good people, and natural disasters continued. The land in the family was either voluntarily or forced to be sold off one by one. When your grandfather died, the family had no money, so they could only sell the last

Twenty acres of land were sold for burial.
