228 Lan Gao Ya Past: Dispute That Ended With Massacre (1/2)

Around 8 years before

Lan Peng, Lan Gao Ya's father, was meeting with Lan Teng to discuss something important. ”Lan Teng, there is some important things happened.”

”What is it? Don't tell me that Lan Pan is making trouble again?” Lan Teng frowned. He had grounded that problematic boy in that residence and made sure that the man didn't go from there.

Lan Peng stared deeply. ”The information that I have been collecting is about the emperor. You must not shout your mouth off to him.”

”What do you want?”

”I know that you have been trying to get close with him for some time, but it doesn't really matter. The way the emperor doing things, they are too extreme,” Lan Peng answered.

Lan Teng felt cold sweat on his back. The information agency of Lan family was always passed on the most suitable. He as a general was not chosen; instead, it was his quiet official brother. Lan Peng ability in collecting information had somehow made him worry.

”You shouldn't have investigated the emperor. Do you know the backside from it?” Lan Teng said icily.

Lan Peng sighed. ”I didn't have any intention for that, but I'm investigating the Jun family and the few incidents in the palace. Those women in the harem sure are cunning.”

”What do you mean?”

”The one who died because of poison and the one sent to the cold palace, there are stories behind it,” Lan Peng answered. ”But I haven't completed the investigation required, so I don't know for sure. As for Jun family, does the emperor wishes for them to disappear? The soldiers won't be happy if they know the truth behind what happened to their leader.”

Lan Teng felt his body grow cold. The leader of Jun family has always been opposing the Lan family. He didn't want to be overshadowed by them. Secretly, he made some fake news to the emperor and let him believe about the Jun family want to revolt.

Even though the Jun Family did not agree to the emperor and showcased their disagreement rather openly, they won't be so daring to the point of revolting. It was why he played some tricks behind them and let the emperor became their enemy.

”They don't need to know.”

Lan Peng stared at Lan Teng. ”Don't lie, I know that you're the one behind it. Do you know that the power of Jun family is important for Ming Kingdom? Do you wish for fall of Ming Kingdom?”

”Careful with your words, brother!”

Lan Peng stared back at his brother. ”For now, I will only give you warning. If you don't change, I will expose to the world what you have done in the back.”

Lan Teng looked at his brother back, feeling extremely enraged. How could he possibly know what happened in the military? Didn't he only spend his time here?

With ruthlessness on his eyes, Lan Teng knocked the wall three times.

”Father, is there anything I can do?” Lan Ping asked with cautious voice. He was hiding behind the door all this time and he could hear everything clearly.

”Call Lan Pan, I will tell the emperor what happened today,” Lan Teng said calmly. Only dead people could keep the secret save.

With him being a military commander, it was not hard to order his soldier to attack his brother and destroy the place. His brother was only a scholar, so he didn't worry about the other party ability to fight back.

Inside his study, Lan Peng could hear the sound of his servants screaming out of fear. He sat down on his study with a calm face as if it was just an ordinary day.

When Lan Teng came into his room with a sword on his hand, Lan Peng didn't bother looking towards the other party. He opened his mouth. ”Are you sure you want to do this?”

”You don't know anything,” Lan Teng said slowly.

Lan Peng sighed. ”Indeed, I don't know anything about you. I never know that you're the kind of person who's ready to sacrifice your own family to achieve your goal.”

”Don't talk as if you're any better!”
