#1024 - The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple (End)
Ying Zhi said, "We will severely punish these scoundrels who have emerged in our family."
Qin Bu Yi nodded and said, "These are the main characters who embarrassed themselves this time. I have merely crippled their cultivation and am now returning them to you."
After speaking, the Heavenly Court First Army soldiers threw Lan Jun, Lan Zhen, and the others in front of Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi.
Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi looked at the people before them, especially Lan Wenhao, whose expression was so gloomy it was as if water could drip from it...
If it weren't for Lan Jun's arrogance and domineering behavior, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened today.
Only Lan Wenhao, the family head, and a few others could truly understand the hardships and difficulties the Lan family had faced to reach this point.
However, the actions of these Lan family members were simply destroying the foundation of the Lan family...
A family fears this kind of situation most when it is at its peak.
If the root rots... then there is no cure!
Today, these people had truly embarrassed the Lan family, along with the Ying family.
Seeing Lan Wenhao's expression, Lan Jun said, "Family Head, I..."
Lan Wenhao said, "Shut up, you embarrassing disgrace."
Just then, the unconscious Lan Zhen slowly woke up.
His eyes were initially somewhat dazed, but then he became completely clear-headed.
The pain in his body constantly reminded him that his cultivation had been crippled.
Lan Zhen looked around, and the first person he saw was Lan Wenhao.
Without thinking, Lan Zhen cried out to Lan Wenhao, "Family Head, my cultivation has been crippled. You must avenge me!"
Lan Wenhao looked at Lan Zhen and said, "Tell me, how was your cultivation crippled?"
At this time, Lan Zhen didn't realize the anger hidden in Lan Wenhao's tone, nor did he see the hints in his father's eyes.
He only cared about venting the resentment in his heart, saying, "I was strolling in the Treasure Garment Pavilion when, for some reason, the other party rushed up and started a conflict with me."
"After a few words, the other party angrily attacked and completely crippled my cultivation!"
"Family Head, you must avenge me!"
Seeing Lan Zhen like this, the anger in Lan Wenhao's heart grew even stronger.
If he hadn't personally seen the cause and effect of the matter in the memory jade, he would have really believed Lan Zhen's lies.
After Lan Zhen finished speaking his resentful words, he realized that the atmosphere around him seemed a little different.
Turning his head, he then discovered his father, whose cultivation had also been crippled.
Seeing his father's miserable state, Lan Zhen said in disbelief, "Father, you..."
Lan Jun roared, "Shut up, you idiot! How could I have given birth to such a foolish son!"
Lan Zhen's words were no different from giving their father and son duo a death warrant.
Bad character was one thing, but distorting the facts had definitely crossed the bottom line in Lan Wenhao's heart.
Lan Zhen looked at his father in confusion, then saw Ying Zhi, who was also looking grim.
And... the silent Qin Emperor!
Various question marks appeared in Lan Zhen's mind, completely unable to understand what was happening.
How could the important figures of the Great Ming Dynasty appear before him?
Could it be that the Lan family's influence had become so great?
The cultivation of a family member was crippled, and even the Qin Emperor was invited?
Thinking of this, Lan Zhen's face showed joy, and he thought to himself, "With the Qin Emperor's appearance, the kid who crippled my cultivation will definitely be severely punished!"
"Hmph, dare to offend me, I'll let you die without knowing how you died!"
The scene fell silent again...
After about a few breaths, Ying Zhi said to Lan Wenhao, "Brother Wenhao, how should this matter be handled?"
Lan Wenhao said, "All family members who offended Brother Qin this time will be executed!"
"All family members of that lineage behind them will be wiped out!"
"The family will begin a thorough investigation, and all family members who are confirmed to have engaged in bullying and market manipulation will be... have their cultivation crippled and be expelled from the family!"
Ying Zhi nodded and said, "I agree with Brother Wenhao's proposal. Let's do it that way."
Lan Zhen still didn't understand what was happening when he heard the conversation between Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi.
But Lan Jun understood, and he quickly said, "Family Head, spare me! Family Head, spare me!"
Lan Wenhao's eyes were cold as he said, "You have brought great shame to my Lan family. I must thank you for that."
"Since you've brought so much shame, you must pay some price!"
"Now, die!"
"Chih!" "Chih!"
"Chih!..."
Lan Wenhao took out a long sword from his spatial ring. Sword light radiated everywhere, and in an instant, all the Lan family members who had offended Qin Bu Yi were killed!
Seeing this scene, Qin Bu Yi said to the Heavenly Court First Army soldiers surrounding the Lan and Ying families, "Withdraw."
"Leave the rest to the Lan Emperor and Ying Emperor."
Hearing Qin Bu Yi's words, these Heavenly Court First Army soldiers said in unison, "Yes! Qin Emperor!"
After Qin Bu Yi finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared and returned to the Star Blue Tower.
Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi also returned to their respective families to begin the rectification...
In the next three days, nearly half of the direct descendants and countless collateral branches were purged from the Lan and Ying families.
The more Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi purged, the more shocked they became. They had thought that the arrogant and domineering behavior was only isolated incidents.
They didn't expect that this kind of bullying and relying on power to oppress others actually accounted for half of the family!
Because of this, Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi felt more and more angry as they purged, and simply adopted a one-size-fits-all approach!
In this action to rectify arrogance, domineering behavior, and reliance on power to oppress others, there were only two evaluation criteria.
One was those who were law-abiding, and the other was those who crossed the line...
Those who were law-abiding naturally had nothing to worry about. Those who crossed the line, regardless of their identity or status, had their cultivation crippled and were expelled from the family.
Even if their offenses didn't warrant such severe punishment, they were still implicated...
Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi's thunderous methods towards their own families caused a sense of unease in the Lan and Ying families.
The other forces in the Great Ming Dynasty who were paying attention to this matter all ordered their family members to restrain these bad habits, lest they bring disaster to their families.
Qin Bu Yi also paid attention to the actions of Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi during these three days.
Qin Bu Yi was very satisfied with the results of their handling...
It even exceeded Qin Bu Yi's expectations. Qin Bu Yi didn't expect Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi to be so ruthless to their own family members, directly adopting a one-size-fits-all approach!
Soon, Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi finished handling the matter and approached Qin Bu Yi together.
Lan Wenhao said, "Brother Qin, the Lan family has been rectified. Such messy things will definitely not happen again in the future."
Ying Zhi said, "The same goes for the Ying family. Please rest assured, Brother Qin!"
Qin Bu Yi looked at Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi and said, "This kind of situation is inevitable if a force wants to develop and grow stronger, but everything must have a limit."
"Bullying and market manipulation, and even venting anger on innocent beings for one's own selfish desires and emotions, are absolutely not allowed."
"If that's really the case, then it's rotten from the root. I hope this matter can serve as a warning to us."
Hearing Qin Bu Yi's words, Ying Zhi and Lan Wenhao's expressions were bitter.
How could they not know about this kind of thing, but the people in their families were not up to par.
Looking at Ying Zhi and Lan Wenhao's expressions, Qin Bu Yi stopped at this point and didn't intend to poke these two prominent figures in the lungs anymore.
Times have changed. Besides Qin Bu Yi, there really wasn't anyone who dared to talk to Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi like this.
Qin Bu Yi said, "Brother Wenhao, Brother Ying Zhi, you two have worked hard these days. It's been a long time since we drank together. This time, we must get drunk."
These words made Lan Wenhao and Ying Zhi feel a little better.
Lan Wenhao said, "Okay, the mess that happened in the family these days has given me a headache. It's a good time to relax."
Ying Zhi said, "Let's not think about these things. We're just drinking today!"
......
The Lan and Ying families' affairs came to an end, and the comments of the beings in the Great Ming Imperial Capital on this matter were:
"The Qin Emperor was furious, and the Lan and Ying families crippled the cultivation of at least half of their family members, expelling these people with crippled cultivation from the family... This move is too ruthless!"
"When these people were in the limelight in the past, they didn't bully and manipulate the market any less. Now that their cultivation has been crippled and they have been expelled from the family, their former enemies will definitely come knocking on their doors."
"It's more than just knocking on their doors. You probably don't know, but most of the Lan and Ying family members who were expelled from the family have mysteriously died."
"This is reaping what you sow! Haha~ It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying!..."
