Chapter 279: Chapter 270 Previously, this General slaughtered tens of thousands of Hu Clan members.

”I have a question for you!”

”What is the connection between your Lan family and the Prince Qing Mansion?”

Yang Zhenshan asked.

Lan Buqi shuddered, while waves of turmoil flickered in Lan Buzheng’s eyes.

”So you are unwilling to confess?” Yang Zhenshan said.

Lan Buqi showed a bitter expression, ”General, our Lan family has no connections with Prince Qing!”

Hearing Yang Zhenshan’s question, he understood why Yang Zhenshan would come to Tenglong Guard!

Before, he was puzzled why Emperor Chengping decreed Yang Zhenshan as the Commander of Tenglong Guard, but now he finally understood!

It was for Prince Qing!

”No connections?” Yang Zhenshan was slightly surprised.

”Our Lan family rose to prominence forty years ago!” Lan Buqi said with a somewhat hoarse voice.

Yang Zhenshan suddenly realized.

Indeed, the Lan family had come to Qinghua Prefecture a hundred years ago, and through the efforts of three generations, they rose rapidly starting about forty years ago.

Prince Qing was ennobled thirty years ago, and he was only five or six years old at that time.

By the time Prince Qing grew up, the Lan family had already dominated Tenglong Guard.

”He must have tried to win you over?” Yang Zhenshan continued to ask.

”Yes, but we refused!” Lan Buqi said.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, ”Then how much do you know about Prince Qing, or let’s say, do you know any secrets about Prince Qing? I think you should understand what I mean!”

Lan Buqi fell silent, but Lan Buzheng spoke, ”We know a little, but what can we get in return?”

”You don’t have the right to negotiate terms now!”

”Yes, we do. We have something you want! That’s our bargaining chip!” Lan Buzheng said calmly.

The corners of Yang Zhenshan’s mouth raised slightly; this guy was indeed smart.

But unfortunately, it seemed he was a bit too confident!

”Have you forgotten something?”

”What?” Lan Buzheng asked.

Yang Zhenshan bared a smile, ”Previously, this General slaughtered tens of thousands from the Hu Clan, and these Hu included grown men, the elderly, women, and children!”

”Your youngest son is only seven years old this year, right?”

As he spoke, he also stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, as if he was talking about something delicious.

Lan Buzheng became completely rigid and could no longer maintain his previous composure.

His temperament was certainly steady, able to remain calm in the face of anything, stronger in this aspect than Lan Buqi.

But faced with Yang Zhenshan, looking at that faintly smiling face and listening to those calmly spoken words, his composure completely dissipated like smoke.

”You!” Anger showed on Lan Buzheng’s face.

He was a man who could be ruthless to anyone, but he had great affection for his own children.

”Speak up, tell us everything you know.” Yang Zhenshan was indifferent to his anger and said calmly.

Lan Buqi sighed weakly, glanced at Lan Buzheng, and finally spoke, ”We don’t know much, we only know that Prince Qing Mansion has many merchant ships.”

”Merchant ships!”

Yang Zhenshan’s eyebrows raised; this information was somewhat useful.

Qinghua Prefecture was by the sea, with many fishermen in the coastal areas, so it was not surprising that Prince Qing Mansion had merchant ships.

”What are his merchant ships used for?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”We don’t know; our Lan family has always stayed away from Prince Qing Mansion!” Lan Buqi said in a deep voice.

For local officials and prominent families, a Prince often represented trouble, and most people would keep their distance, preferring not to deal with them if possible.

”Where do they anchor these merchant ships?” Yang Zhenshan continued to ask.

”At Prince Qing’s Guard Department, which is located by the seaside, and there’s also a part of the Navy there,” Lan Buqi said.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought.

Prince Qing’s merchant ships could be of two types: warships or merchant vessels.

If they were warships, since Prince Qing’s Guard Department had the Navy, there was no need to hide, and they could go to sea openly and aboveboard.

But if they were merchant vessels, then they might be involved in some unsavory activities.

Da Rong’s maritime trade was not thriving, but there were still many sea merchants, especially in the Jiangnan and southeastern regions where there were many wealthy sea merchants.
