The three families watched the scene. Even though they were ready at the beginning, they didn't expect Dali Temple to come with the officers and soldiers. Di Renjie stood aside and said nothing. The few of them sat down again in fear.

"Master Hou, how do I eat this?"

Several children from the Xie family looked at the pots of lettuce and said.

Fan Jian brought a pot of vegetables in front of Gu Qing, "How does the head of the family taste this taste?"

Gu Qing spoke to the children of several clans in front of him and said, "This is also the new dish made by my Gu family. It is called vegetable salad. Please try it."

"Can……"

While speaking, Gu Qing took out a dagger, and the disciples of the three families immediately calmed down. Gu Qing took out a dagger and inserted it into his mouth, inserting the vegetable leaves.

"The taste is very good." Gu Qing took out the sesame paste on the side, poured it into the salad and stirred it bite after bite.

Seeing that a few people were not easy to whine, Gu Qing said again: "You guys eat too, why are you doing it while standing there?"

The children of the three families had to pick up the vegetable leaves and eat them without any bites. The carrots and vegetable leaves tasted surprisingly good.

Li Er took Wang Qin into the Gu family, and watched the table of people walking into it eating lettuce, Di Renjie and all the officers and soldiers saluted Li Er.

When they saw Li Er coming, the disciples of the three families stood up and bowed.

"Di Renjie, the Gu family has a banquet. It's a bit disappointing to bring so many officers and soldiers around you." Li Er said with a smile to Di Renjie.

"There is a case that has been related to those present recently. I am waiting for an interrogation after the banquet." Di Renjie whispered.

"Go out and wait, you can't escape here," Li Er said with a smile.

"Yes!" Di Renjie and his men walked outside the yard.

Li Erluo looked at the children of several families standing and said, "Let's sit there, there's no need to be so trembling when you have a meal."

After sitting down, the group still did not dare to speak or continue eating. They all knew that they had died a few days ago and were guilty of the fact that the children of several families were sweating coldly and were particularly careful about the dagger in Gu Qing's hand. Now even Li Shimin is here.

"Sometimes I am very yearning for Jiangnan. The fish and rice in Jiangnan are rich. If I weren't old and I was in poor health, I would have to go to Jiangnan for a look." Li Er whispered and looked at the pots of lettuce on the table, "Gu Qing, what strange way of eating it."

Fan Jian brought another bowl of salad and said, "This is the new way for the owner of the family to eat."

"Hmm?" Li Er looked at the chopped vegetable leaves and was curious.

"Call vegetable salad." Gu Qing added.

"Isn't it just lettuce leaves? I've given such a novel name." Li Er said after taking a bite.

"I'm tired of eating big fish and meat, so it's good to eat some of this." Gu Qing whispered: "I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I always feel that I'm thinking about someone."

"You are the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, who cares about you?" Li Er said with a smile.

Gu Qing's eyes fell on the children of the three families and said, "There are always some brave people in this world who dare to commit crimes under the will of the world. Some people do not punish them. I really don't know what the king's law is!"

"I have heard of the matter." Li Er stared at Gu Qing and said, "I also know the holidays between you Gu Qing and the Xie family. I suspect that Gu Qing wants to take revenge on the Xie family."

"You are wrong. I don't have such courage." Gu Qing said with a smile.

The warm wind blew over and brought some smell of plants and trees. The yard was quiet. Li Er looked at Gu Qing and said, "Who doesn't know that you, Gu Qing, are a murderer without blinking."

"In life, you will inevitably have some bad reputation." Gu Qing also said.

Li Er stood up with a smile, "I have sat there, eaten, and said it, it's time to leave."

After saying that, Li Er stood up and left the Gu family.

Gu Qing came back to his senses and looked at the disciples of the three families wiping their cold sweats and said, "Is it so hot this day? Should we change to a cooler place?"

"No, no, no." Several people waved their hands one after another.

Fan Jian brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of everyone. Gu Qing then said, "Actually, I, Gu Qing, really is not capable of being the prime minister. If you want to govern the country, Chu Suiliang, Shangguan Yi and others are more capable. I just have some fame. Besides, if you want to talk about fame and fortune, I like money more. Gu Qing is a businessman, and you all started a business. I, Gu Qing, like a saying that harmony brings wealth."

The disciples of the three families remained silent.

Gu Qing continued: "Everyone knows that since the opening of the Maritime Trade Department, the waterway has become particularly important. The transportation of waterways has made the Maritime Trade more convenient and time-saving. You all do business at home and know the importance of transportation to business. If your goods move faster than others, you can have an absolute advantage."

"What Mr. Hou said is reasonable." The children of the Xiao family whispered.

Gu Qing said again: "Since we understand, we can also say that we have opened. I don't want you to move this waterway."

"Mr. Hou, we admit that the matters in the waterway are our fault, but the waterway does not have the name Gu Hou's name written on it." The children of the Yuan family said aloud.

"I didn't say I wanted to take the waterway." Gu Qing stood up and paced back and forth and said, "The waterway involves a lot of interests. How many powerful people in Chang'an have interests with the sea trade. I built the sea trade with one hand. Gu Qing didn't interfere with the waterway, but the waterway needs to be managed by the sea trade department. What do you think?"

The scene returned to quiet again.

Gu Qing said again: "I know that the Xie family and my Gu family are almost broken up. I originally wanted to warn the Xie family that the matter was over. The Xie family's life has passed. I hope you don't interfere in the affairs of my Gu family and the Xie family in the future. I don't want to destroy the century-old foundation of the Jiangnan clan."

When the children of the three families heard this, their faces were very bad, and they didn't want to destroy the foundation for a century! Gu Qing must deal with the Xie family. Now whoever stands with the Xie family will be implicated, and he dare not underestimate Gu Qing's appetite and ambitions. A person who doesn't even care about the five surnames of the Central Plains, what is the small Jiangnan clan? What's more, even if Gu Qing's power is united, even if the Jiangnan forces unite, they may not be Gu Qing's opponent.

Even if we unite, who dares!

Gu Qing continued: "Actually, my father-in-law, the Supreme Emperor, was very worried. The central government of Jiangnan has always been too loose, and he is afraid that what should we do if Jiangnan only recognizes the clan but not the emperor in the future."

"What does Mr. Hou mean?" The children of the Xiao family looked as if they were ashen.
