A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Why don't you eat?" Gu Qing said: "You are welcome, eat as much as you want, just eat as much as you want!"

During the conversation, Di Renjie brought the officers and soldiers from Dali Temple to Gu's house, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers surrounded a table of people.

The Yuan family's disciple immediately stood up and looked at the scene and said, "Master Hou, what does this mean?"

"Sit down!" Gu Qing said with an order in his tone.

Chapter 82 Lettuce

The children of the three families looked at the scene. Even though they were prepared in their hearts at the beginning, they never expected that Dali Temple would bring officers and soldiers. Di Renjie just stood aside without saying a word, and they sat down again in fear.

"Master Hou, how can I eat this?"

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

Fan Jian put a pot of vegetables in front of Gu Qing, "Master, taste how it tastes."

Gu Qing said to the few clan children in front of him: "This is also a new dish made by my Gu family. It's called vegetable salad, everyone, try it."

"Can……"

While speaking, Gu Qing took out a dagger, and the disciples of the three families immediately fell silent, only to see Gu Qing took out the dagger and stuck a vegetable leaf into his mouth.

"The taste is very good." While eating, Gu Qing took out the sesame paste on the side, poured it into the salad, stirred it, and ate it one bite at a time.

Seeing that a few people were having a hard time talking, Gu Qing said again: "You guys eat too, what are you doing in a daze?"

The children of the three families had no choice but to pick up the vegetable leaves and eat them bite by bite. The taste of carrots and vegetable leaves was surprisingly good.

Li Er led Wang Qin into Gu's house and watched a table of people eating lettuce enter. Di Renjie led all the officers and soldiers to salute Li Er.

Seeing Li Er's arrival, the three disciples all stood up and bowed to salute.

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

"Recently there is a case related to all the people present. I will have an interrogation after the banquet is over." Di Renjie said in a low voice.

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

"Yes!" Di Renjie led the people out of the courtyard.

Li Erluo looked at the children from the other families who were still standing and said, "Let's all sit down, it's just a meal, there's no need to be so trembling."

The group of people still didn't dare to speak after sitting down, and they didn't dare to continue to eat. They all knew that they died a few days ago. They were already guilty, and the cold sweats of the children of several families were especially wary of the dagger in Gu Qing's hand. coming.

"Sometimes I yearn for Jiangnan very much. Jiangnan is rich in fish and rice. If it wasn't for my old age and poor health, I would definitely go to Jiangnan to have a look." Li Er whispered and looked at the pots of lettuce on the table, "Gu Qing, What kind of weird way are you eating?"

Fan Jian brought another bowl of salad and said, "This is the owner's new way of eating."

"Huh?" Li Er looked curiously at the chopped vegetable leaves.

"It's called vegetable salad." Gu Qing added.

"Isn't it the lettuce leaves that gave it such a novel name?" Li Er said after taking a bite.

"Big fish and big meat, I'm tired of eating, and it's good to eat some of this." Gu Qing said in a low voice: "I haven't been able to sleep well recently, and I always feel that I am being missed by someone."

"You are the Xiangguo of my Tang Dynasty, who misses you." Li Er said with a smile.

Gu Qing's eyes fell on the children of the three families and said: "In this world, there are always some daring people who dare to commit crimes and do evil in the world, and some people don't punish them. I really don't know what the king's law is!"

"I've also heard about it." Li Er stared at Gu Qing and said, "I also know about the quarrel between you, Gu Qing, and the Xie family, but I suspect that you, Gu Qing, want to take revenge on the Xie family."

"You're wrong, I don't have the courage." Gu Qing said with a smile.

The warm wind blew through with the smell of grass and trees, and the yard became quiet. Li Er looked at Gu Qing and said, "Who in the Central Plains doesn't know that you, Gu Qing, are a murderous person without blinking an eye."

"In life, it is inevitable that there will be some notoriety." Gu Qing also said.

Li Er stood up with a smile, "I sat and sat, ate and ate, and talked and said, it's time to go."

After speaking, 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 cold sweat and said, "Is the weather so hot? Shall we move to a cooler place?"

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

Fan Jian brought cups of tea and put them in front of everyone, and Gu Qing continued: "Actually, I, Gu Qing, really don't have the skills to be a prime minister. If you want to talk about governing the country, Chu Suiliang, Shangguanyi and the others are more capable. I just have some false names." , Besides, when it comes to fame, I like money more, I, Gu Qing, am a businessman, and the three of you also started out in business, and I, Gu Qing, like the saying that "harmony makes money."

The three disciples were silent.

Gu Qing went on to say: "Everyone knows that since the establishment of the Maritime Trade Department, waterways have become more important. Waterway transportation has made maritime trade more convenient and time-saving. You all have businesses at home, and you all know the importance of transportation to business. , your goods move faster than others, and you can occupy an absolute advantage."

"Master Hou is right." The Xiao family's children said in a low voice.

Gu Qing said again: "Now that you understand, we can talk about it. I don't want you to move this waterway."

"Master Hou, we admit that the matter of the waterway is our fault, but the name of Lord Gu is not written on the waterway." The Yuan family's son said loudly.

"I didn't say I wanted to take down the sewer." Gu Qing stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "There are a lot of interests involved in the waterway. How many dignitaries in Chang'an have interests in the sea trade. Back then, the sea trade was set up by me alone. I, Gu Qing, don't care. Intervene in the affairs of the waterway, but the waterway needs to be managed by the Maritime Trade Department, what do you think?"

The scene became quiet again.

Gu Qing said again: "I know that Xie's family and my Gu's family are almost tearing their skins apart. I originally wanted to warn Xie's family about this matter, but the matter of Xie's family killing people has crossed the line. I hope that in the future Don't meddle in the affairs of my Gu family and Xie family, I don't want to destroy the centuries-old foundation of the Jiangnan clan."

When the children of the three families heard this, their expressions were very bad, and they didn't want to ruin their centuries-old roots!Gu Qing must deal with the Xie family, whoever stands with the Xie family now will be implicated, and dare not underestimate Gu Qing's appetite and ambition. What's the point, what's more, Gu Qing's power is not necessarily Gu Qing's opponent even if the Jiangnan forces unite.

Even if they unite, who would dare!

Gu Qing went on to say: "Actually, my father-in-law, the Supreme Emperor, was very worried just now. The Jiangnan dynasty has been too loosely managed. I am afraid that in the future, Jiangnan will only recognize the clan and not the emperor."

"What does Lord Hou mean by this!" The Xiao family's children's faces were livid.

Seeing the changes in the faces of several people, Gu Qing said again: "Recently, the court intends to investigate the officials of various state capitals. I also hope that you will act carefully. Today's court is not the same as before. As the saying goes A courtier to the Son of Heaven."

Chapter 83

"Master Hou!" The Yuan family's children stood up and said, "We all understand that the Jiangnan issue has indeed been mentioned several times in the court these days, and I understand in my heart that even though Lord Hou put forward conditions, we can listen first."

"Then let me tell you a few points." Gu Qing said: "You have to cut ties with the officials of the various state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, let your people leave the key points of the waterways, and draw up a plan for all the officials who have received your money. Give me the list."

After listening, the members of the Yuan family stood up and said, "Master Hou, if we do this, once our Jiangnan clan hand over the list to Lord Hou, won't our Jiangnan clan be slaughtered in the future?"

"I didn't want to discuss it with you guys." Gu Qing said.

"What if we don't?" someone said.
