Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 277: Chapter 268 General Yang is Selfless and Ruthless

Yang Zhenshan looked at Lan Buqi, who was kneeling down, with an unfazed gaze in his eyes.

His decision to take action against the Lan family was well-considered.

For the Tenglong Guard, the Lan family was like a malignant tumor that had to be eliminated. Although eliminating the Lan family could plunge the Tenglong Guard into further chaos, Yang Zhenshan had no time to engage in a power struggle with the Lan family.

Pulling and tugging for power and profit, waiting for the right moment to eliminate the Lan family could perhaps stabilize the Tenglong Guard and might even spare Yang Zhenshan from criticisms in the court.

But that could take a long time—three months, half a year, or even a year.

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t afford to waste that much time, nor was he skilled or patient in the struggle for power, so entangling himself with the Lan family was out of the question.

Since the Lan family had to be eliminated, sooner rather than later.

He would simply kill them with thunderous means!

After all, he was known as a slayer of gods, what does it matter if his methods are a bit brutal?

As for the rest, well, this kind of approach would definitely upset some senior officials in the court, potentially leading to impeachment by some officials.

But he had backers, and a banner to wave.

The old Emperor didn’t send him to the Tenglong Guard to get tangled up with the Lan family, but to train the Tenglong Guard into elite troops and then restrain Prince Qing.

In this situation, he didn’t need to worry too much.

Moreover, the Lan family deserved their fate.

Looking at the impoverished military households, looking at the rotten roots of the Tenglong Guard, then looking at the luxurious mansion of the Lan family, who would dare to plead for the Lan family?

“Take him!”

Yang Zhenshan said gravely.

The personal followers behind him immediately stepped forward. Lan Buqi struggled internally; he wanted to resist, but as soon as the idea formed, a blood-stained spear point was placed in front of him.
