Chapter 1215: This is what I owe Qing Zhen
The matter of Luo Lan breaking into Barrier 114 and killing Qing Huan on the spot did not circulate as widely as it should have.
A certain official in the barriers had not only issued a secrecy order, but had also controlled all those who knew about it in that official residence of Qing Huan’s and had everyone sign a secrecy ordinance.
This official was actually well aware of the situation in the Gyeong Clan, and now that he saw Luo Lan kill Gyeong Hwan without saying a word, he knew that the real purge had arrived.
Therefore, Luo Lan must have other people to kill.
If the person Luo Lan wanted to kill ran away after hearing some wind from this side of Barrier 114, then it was estimated that all the officials present at Barrier 114 would be in bad luck.
However, this official actually saw this matter as an opportunity, in fact, Luo Lan might not really need any secrecy measures, but if someone told Luo Lan about the efforts he had put in later on, even if he didn’t get a flat footing, I’m afraid that he would still have a solid position.
In the next three days, Luo Lan brought Qing’s special battalion to run three barriers in a row in a row, killing hundreds of people.
At this time, the news of Luo Lan’s massive liquidation of opposing factions within the Qing Clan finally couldn’t be suppressed.
Some people thought to themselves, this practice of driving out all the people must have caused a backlash from the opposing factions, right?
People were all about chaos and disorder, as long as this had nothing to do with them, it didn’t matter if it went to the heavens, so many people were expecting a good show.
However, the development of things let them down, no one counterattacked, because those who could have been killed by Luo Lan with thunderous means.
It was at this time that many people finally realized that the only reason those opposing factions had been able to stay alive before was because Luo Lan had allowed them to.
The list of those who needed to be cleared seemed to have been engraved in Luo Lan’s heart as if it had been long ago, and during the course of these three days when everyone was rushing around non-stop and killing people, this Fatty Luo had even thought of the route early on.
Which barriers to go to first, which barriers to go to later, how to arrange for intelligence personnel to keep an eye on them, all in the plan.
Three days down the line, Luo Lan was not only not tired, but instead, he was getting more and more energetic.
Zhou Qi suddenly felt that this kind of person was born to kill and set fire.
If you let him live his life peacefully, he would instead lose his spirit.
Last stop, Barrier 89.
Luo Lan stood in the bloodied mansion, commanding the Special Battalion soldiers to search every corner.
The owner of this mansion was still lying at Luo Lan’s feet, the other party was gripping Luo Lan’s pants leg tightly with his bloodied palms, trying to say something, but he couldn’t say anything anymore.
Luo Lan’s face was cold, this person had privately conspired with other members of the Qing Clan who opposed Qing Zhen, and tried to take control of the Qing Clan’s forces near Barrier 89.
There was no mercy in becoming a king or a bandit.
The other party gasped violently, seeing that they were going to die, but they never refused to take their last breath.
At this moment, the Special Battalion warrior said, “Sir, there are traces of trampling on the moss around the well in the courtyard, there should be something hidden in the well.”
As soon as these words came out, the seriously injured man at his feet suddenly looked hideous, but before he could do anything, Luo Lan added a final shot to his head.
“Sir, there’s a child hiding in the well,” the battalion commander of the special battalion said to Luo Lan.
Luo Lan walked to the mouth of the well and looked downward, and he was seeing a small child, eight or nine years old, pulling on the rope of the well and hanging in the deep well water.
The child’s eyes were clear but fearful, the other had heard all the gunshots and screams from here, and his arms were shaking with muscles overwhelmed by the long pull on the well rope.
“Sir, I’ll do it,” said the Special Battalion Commander, this kind of killing a small child was better for those of them who were subordinates.
Luo Lan patted the battalion commander’s shoulder, “No need, retreat.”
After killing the last person on the list, Luo Lan left Barrier 89 as if he had resolved a matter of his heart, leaving behind only the corpses and bloodstains in the barrier.
Over the past year, Luo Lan had rarely killed anyone, mainly because it wasn’t his turn to do so most of the time.
Therefore, many people almost thought that Luo Lan was going to cultivate himself.
It was like how all rogues wanted to dress up as a gentleman after holding power.
However, it was only now that everyone realized that Luo Lan was still the same Luo Lan and had never changed.
On the way back to Barrier 111, the convoy under the armored vehicles and mountain tilting escorts looked exceptionally spectacular.
The dirt-colored armored vehicles drove on the highway like roaring beasts.
On the SUV, Luo Lan sat in the back row looking out the window a bit lost in thought, he suddenly said to Zhou Qi beside him, “Southwest has changed ah, I remember when I went to Barrier 88 as a hostage before, there wasn’t even a decent road along the way.”
“There is one thing to say, Qing Zhen governing this huge southwest does have a hand in it,” Zhou Qi said, “If it were someone else, I’m afraid that the power hasn’t even been straightened out in such a short period of time.”
“Otherwise not how can be the Lord of this Qing clan,” Luo Lan heatedly laughed.
Zhou Qi glanced at Luo Lan: “Good man when he is, bad man when you are, these three days to kill down the two of us is also full of blood. I said to cut off the root and branch, but you killed the old one, but let go of the young one, wait ten years after they grow up, they will not find us every day to take revenge?”
“Afraid of what?” Luo Lan kindly laughed, “I’m quite happy when there are really ones with seeds to find me for revenge.”
Zhou Qi muttered in a low voice, “You’re looking on the bright side, I just can’t figure it out, even though Qing Zhen is your younger brother, is it necessary for you to carry all the pots for him? Are you Qing’s shadow? Do you know that none of Qing’s shadows have a good ending.”
“That’s my brother,” Luo Lan said seriously.
“People change!” Zhou Qi said, “After he’s enjoyed decades of power, one day when you’ve committed a public outrage and he needs to make a choice between power and you, what do you think he’ll choose? This thing called power is magical, it can make people give up everything.”
Luo Lan looked out the window and said, “You know I got sick and almost died when I was six right, I remember telling you that.”
“Hmm,” Zhou Qi responded, “What’s the point of talking about that?”
“In order to save me that time, my old man sold all his pianos,” Luo Lan said, “You don’t know how much my old man loves to play the piano, that thing is literally his life, I’ve been listening to him all the time ever since I learned how to play, and his dream is to be a pianist. ”
Zhou Qi skimmed his lips, “So it was you who cut off your father’s dream?!”
“No, he stopped dreaming a long time ago,” Luo Lan said, “At that time, Qing Zhen’s mother was suffering from cancer, the old man had already emptied out his savings and the family’s fortune to treat her, but the result was still not saved. The only thing left in the family was a piano, and the old man had originally planned to sell the piano to send Qing Zhen and I to the Qing Clan’s private school, because it was only after entering that private school that we could hope to be valued by the old men on Gingko Mountain in the future.”
There was a private school for the children of the Qing Clan, and although there was no tuition, the room and board, dress code, and activities were extremely expensive.
That private school didn’t just teach, it would also take the students out on excursions, and the excursions were escorted by retired soldiers from the Qing Clan.
When Qing Zhen and Luo Lan were still young, everyone in the Qing Clan wanted to send their children to the private school because they could be noticed by the old men on Gingko Mountain in advance.
Moreover, the teachers in this private school were the best teachers within the Qing Clan’s consortium’s control, and the things taught were completely different from the outside.
Military, politics, economics, sociology, philosophy, the private school comprehensively educated even these, and practiced firearms from a young age.
The children that came out of such private schools were indeed better than those that came out of ordinary schools.
There was a saying within the Qing Clan that the children who went to private school were the future of the Qing Clan, and those who didn’t were feral children.
Therefore, that old man in Luo Lan’s family had planned it out long ago, his own dream of being a pianist didn’t matter at all, if it was gone, it was gone, but these two children had to be sent to private school.
The family had just spent all their savings on treating Qing Zhen’s mother, and then Luo Lan fell ill.
The old man had no choice but to sell the piano first to save his life, which was more important than anything else.
There was little hope for the private school, and the old man was dragging his body down because he often sold blood.
Luo Lan laughed at Zhou Qi, “You also know what kind of relatives are in the Qing clan, earlier they divided the factory in the old master’s hands, to the time when the old master looked for them to borrow money, one by one even refused to see.”
Luo Lan continued, “In fact, borrowing or not borrowing money is the other party’s freedom, but Qing Zhen’s second uncle in the old master to find to go behind closed doors, even if not, even let a person from the yard out of a bowl of leftovers to. At that time, Qing Zhen was there, and the other party’s housekeeper said: hurry up and eat it while it’s hot, you won’t be able to eat something this good back home.”
“Qing Yun’s father?” Zhou Qi recalled, “I have an impression, some years earlier I don’t know how he suddenly died in the lover’s house, later Qing Yun was also killed by the people Qing Zhen arranged, I was present at that time, so you guys are taking revenge?”
Luo Lan smiled, “Qing Zhen’s second uncle died suddenly purely from overdrafting his body, it has nothing to do with us. As for Qing Yun, it was him who came over to send himself to his death. The target of our revenge at first was not a certain person, but the entire Qing Clan. Of course, when we grew up, we slowly became a little more calm, and realized that the world is this kind of urine, we have to learn to get used to it. Qing Zhen’s heart was soft in earlier years, if the old man hadn’t pushed him to that point, he wouldn’t have made up his mind to do it.”
“You’re getting a bit off topic here, talk back to the piano,” Zhou Qi said.
Luo Lan recalled, “The old man later became seriously ill, and when he knew he was going to die, he called me to his bedside, and then said to me, “Originally, that piano was the future of our two brothers, and if I hadn’t gotten sick from that illness, then Qing Zhen and I would have all been able to go to private school, and in the future we might have been able to get into the Qing Clan to seek an official position, but I got sick from that illness. The old master said that the piano should have been half for me and half for Qing Zhen when it was all said and done, but I took all the advantage, and Qing Zhen’s future was all riding on it, so the old master said that I had to protect my younger brother, and that this was what I owed to Qing Zhen, and that this was my life.”
