Chapter 268 General Yang is selfless and ruthless
Yang Zhengshan looked at the kneeling Lan Buqi without any emotion in his eyes.

His decision to take action against the Lan family was the result of careful consideration.

For Tenglongwei, the Lan family is a cancer that must be eliminated. Perhaps eliminating the Lan family will make Tenglongwei even more chaotic, but Yang Zhengshan has no time to play any power struggles with the Lan family.

You and I are fighting for power and profit, and finally when the time is right, we will get rid of the Lan family. This may stabilize the Tenglong Guards, and may also prevent Yang Zhengshan from being criticized in the court.

But this may take a long time, three months, six months, or even a year.

Yang Zhengshan didn't have so much time to waste, and he was not good at fighting for power, nor did he have the patience to get entangled with the Lan family.

Since the Lan family must be eliminated, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Just kill him with thunderous means!
Anyway, he is a god of death, so what if his methods are a little cruel?

As for the others, well, this method would definitely make some of the officials in the court feel uncomfortable, and it might also lead to impeachment from some officials.

But he has a backer and a big banner to wave.

The old emperor asked him to come to Tenglong Guard not to let him get entangled with the Lan family, but to train Tenglong Guard into an elite force and then curb Prince Qing.

In this case, he doesn't need to worry too much.

What's more, the Lan family's death was not unjust.

Look at those impoverished military households, look at the rotten-to-the-core Tenglong Guards, and then look at the magnificent mansion of the Lan family. Who dares to speak up for the Lan family?

"Take it!"

Yang Zhengshan said in a deep voice.

Several of his followers behind him stepped forward immediately. Lan Buqi struggled in his heart and wanted to resist, but as soon as he had the thought, a bloody spear appeared in front of him.

You need the ability to resist.

It is obvious that Yang Zhengshan's strength is far above his.

Lan Buqi closed his eyes slightly, his ears were filled with shouts and screams, and tears oozed out of the corners of his eyes.

If you try, you will die. If you don’t try, what will happen?

"Please Lord Yang, please let the Lan family go!"

Lan Buqi kowtowed loudly.

How to spell it?
Are you willing to risk the lives of your entire family?
The Lan family is quite powerful, but it depends on who they are compared with.

Compared with a group of killers rushing out of the battlefield?

How to compare?
The Lan family dominated Tenglongwei, but in the final analysis, it was just a small fight within Tenglongwei.

Even if the Lan family could pull together the Tenglong Vanguard to resist, they would probably not be a match for Yang Zhengshan.

What's more, will the soldiers of Tenglong's vanguard resist together with the Lan family?

Yang Zhengshan holds the imperial edict in his hands and has great righteousness in his heart. Anyone who dares to attack him would be tantamount to rebellion.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense would not follow the Lan family in rebellion.

Lan Buqi also didn't want to rebel.

Rebellion would result in the execution of nine generations of the clan. Begging for mercy might give a glimmer of hope, and perhaps allow the Lan family to preserve its bloodline. But if resistance occurred, it would be a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

In just a moment, Lan Buqi figured out all the details and fell to the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

When the officials around saw this, their hearts were pounding and their bodies were tense. What happened today was too much of a shock to them.

When Yang Zhengshan came to take office, they went out of the city to welcome him. They didn't really take it seriously at first, because they didn't think Yang Zhengshan could control the Tenglong Guards. They believed that Yang Zhengshan would eventually become a puppet of the Lan family like them.

But the result?
As soon as Yang Zhengshan arrived at the city gate, he showed a strong attitude. When he arrived at the Lan family, he started killing without saying a word.

They were watching with trepidation, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Yang Zhengshan.

At the same time, they felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts. Looking at Lan Buqi kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and Lan Buqun and Lan Buzheng being captured, they couldn't help but feel a sense of great satisfaction.

Yang Zhengshan didn't know their psychology, nor did he care about their psychology. In Yang Zhengshan's eyes, these Tenglongwei officials were trash, useless trash.

He winked at his followers, and they ignored Lan Buqi's pleas for mercy and stepped forward, took out a dagger, pierced Lan Buqi's scapula, and then tied him up.

Lan Buqi is already quite old. Although he has reached the eighth level of acquired cultivation, his strength has declined a lot due to his age.

But he is an eighth-level acquired warrior after all, so he still needs to take necessary precautions. Piercing the scapula is the best way to shackle a warrior.

The attendant ignored Lan Buqi's wailing and pleas for mercy and dragged him away.

Yang Zhengshan rode on Hongyun's back and looked at the magnificent Lan family mansion with a calm expression.

The Lan family dares to live in a mansion like this. I really don’t know what they are thinking.

Do things with a high profile and be a low-key person!
This statement is true for an individual and for a family.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yang Zhengshan suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and glanced at the people behind him. Soon his eyes fell on Ning Dongsheng who was hiding behind.

"Imperial Censor Ning!"

"Ah!" Ning Dongsheng trembled all over, suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Yang Zhengshan with fear.

He was really scared and was trembling with fear.

"Imperial Censor Ning, the Lan family has occupied military farms, oppressed military households, and ignored the laws of the court. They should be punished! Do you think I am right?" Yang Zhengshan said in a calm tone.

Ning Dongsheng stared at him blankly, "Yes, yes~~"

"Well, today I am following the advice of Censor Ning to arrest the Lan family and collect evidence of their crimes. Yes, that's right, that's it, don't you agree?"

Yang Zhengshan raised his lips slightly and looked at Ning Dongsheng with a smile. Ning Dongsheng's eyes lit up and his mind became active immediately.

"Yes, it was I who proposed this to General Yang. General Yang is selfless and ruthless. He will take down the Lan family with lightning speed in order to uphold the laws of the court!"

The corners of Yang Zhengshan's mouth curled up even higher. This guy is quite sensible.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that he started killing people right after taking office.

Once this news reaches the court, it will inevitably lead to criticism from some people.

If there are other officials supporting the Lan family, they might use this as an excuse to impeach him.

Although he has the emperor's support, he still inevitably encounters some troubles.

It would be different if Ning Dongsheng was involved.

Ning Dongsheng was the Inspector General of Liaodong, and had the power to make decisions on major matters and make decisions on minor matters.

The Lan family is neither big nor small.

Ning Dongsheng could have made a prompt decision and asked Yang Zhengshan, the new commander, to take action.

Even if someone is dissatisfied with this, or wants to help the Lan family overturn the verdict, Ning Dongsheng and Yang Zhengshan will take responsibility together, which can save Yang Zhengshan a lot of trouble.

"Well, what about you?" Yang Zhengshan looked at the other Tenglongwei officials again.

The officials looked at each other in bewilderment, but soon someone stood up and said, "Lord Ning is very perceptive, and the commander is impartial!"

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people quickly followed suit.

"Lord Ning is very perceptive, and the commander is selfless!"

"Lord Ning is very perceptive, and the commander is selfless!"

The Lan family is finished. From now on, no, it should be said that Yang Zhengshan is now the head of Tenglongwei.

If they had any brains, they would know what to choose.

"very good!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'd like to trouble Censor Ning to write a memorial and submit it, and the others to help prepare a case file!"

The Lan family is also a military household of the Tenglong Guard, so Yang Zhengshan, the commander of the Tenglong Guard, has the authority to investigate and prosecute the Lan family.

Of course, investigations must rely on evidence, case handling must follow procedures, and case closures must have case files, all of which must be reviewed by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

In the past, when Yang Zhengshan dealt with Xu Wanfu and others in Anyuan City, he handed them over directly to the Wei Si Yamen. As for how to deal with them in the end, he didn't need to take care of it at all.

But now it’s different, he has to do all of this personally.

But he was too lazy to do these trivial things, and there happened to be many idle people here, so he could make use of them.

"I obey your command!" The officials of Tenglong Guard responded one after another.

"General Yang, don't worry. I will explain this matter to the Censorate!" Ning Dongsheng also said hurriedly.

This was a great thing for him.

Originally he was still worried that he would be implicated in the Lan family's affairs, but Yang Zhengshan's actions unintentionally gave him a lot of room for maneuver.

He could easily exonerate himself and even gain some credit for it.

As for why Yang Zhengshan didn't deal with him as well!

What a joke! He is the censor. No matter how powerful Yang Zhengshan is, he can't control him.

Unless he asks Liu Yuanfu for help, is it worth it?
The Liu family and the Yang family do have some friendship, but this friendship is limited and cannot be used all the time.

About half an hour later, Wu Chongzhe walked out of the Lan family covered in blood.

"General, all the members of the Lan family have been captured!" he said excitedly.

Yes, it’s excitement.

This was the first time for him to have such an exciting battle. He had always envied Han Cheng for being able to follow Yang Zhengshan to the battlefield. Now he finally had the opportunity to show his skills. How could he not be excited?
"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded, "First find a place to detain them! You guard them personally and don't let them escape!"

"Yes!" Wu Chongzhe responded with a fist clasped.

Yang Zhengshan changed direction and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Weisi Yamen first!"

After saying that, he rode directly towards the Weisi Yamen.

Compared with the Lan family, the Wei Si Yamen appears to be very simple, and from the outside it looks even worse than the garrison office in Anyuan City.

The backyard of the yamen was far inferior to the backyard of the Anyuan City garrison office.

The key point is that many places have fallen into disrepair. After visiting the Wei Si Yamen, Yang Zhengshan was worried that the houses inside would collapse.

Look at the Wei Si Yamen, and then look at the Lan family’s mansion. Do you think the Lan family should be killed?

Yang Zhengshan walked around the Weisi Yamen and told the officials behind him, "You guys go and get busy first. The Weisi Yamen will remain the same for the next two days."

After saying that, he drove them away and returned to the Lan family's mansion.

There are so many people in the Yang family, and he brought so many people with him, so the backyard of the Wei Si Yamen is definitely not enough to accommodate them, so he can only occupy the nest and live in the Lan family's mansion.

However, before moving into the Lan family, he needed to first understand the Lan family mansion.
