In the Lan Family for ten thousand years, do you have any regrets?
Lan Buhui was stunned!
Ten thousand years of fleeting time passed before her eyes. For a moment, she was completely dazed.
After a long while, Lan Buhui sighed, “Who in this world can be without regrets?”
Mo Tianji calmly said, “Your father has no regrets!”
Lan Buhui was stunned again and slowly nodded, “Yes, he has no regrets, but I cannot compare!”
Mo Tianji continued, “I have no regrets either!”
Lan Buhui's thoughts slowly pulled away from her memories. She looked at Mo Tianji, her gaze gradually sharpening, and said softly, “You created a shocking explosion, leading to the deaths of fifty or sixty thousand people! You have no regrets?”
Mo Tianji laughed sarcastically, “Do you think it shouldn't be? Do you think your family should not have died?”
Lan Buhui's face turned ashen.
Mo Tianji took a breath and pulled out a thick booklet from his pocket, flipping it open to read, “The Lan family has committed evil for ten thousand years, oppressing the world, causing calamities... this is their indictment!”
“Eight thousand nine hundred years ago, the Lan family wanted to expand their influence. The second ancestor, Lan Muxue, ordered the complete destruction of the Cao family, another noble family located nearby. That night, thirty thousand members of the Cao family perished, leaving not a single one alive! The Lan family thus occupied this place and began extensive construction, resulting in the establishment of the Lan family’s external courtyard and gardens.”
“Seven thousand one hundred years ago, a young master of the Lan family attempted to abduct a bride but was injured by the Du family. That night, five thousand members of the Du family were killed, and a girl from the Du family went missing. Later, the corpse of a lowly concubine was thrown out from the room of the young master of the Lan family, suspected to be the missing Du girl, Du Mufeng.”
...
“Three thousand three hundred and thirty-six years ago, a plague broke out outside Sky Orchid City; hundreds died. The Lan family dispatched masters to slaughter all humans and livestock within three thousand miles surrounding Sky Orchid City. In the city, half of the population was also killed, with over one hundred thirty thousand corpses cremated in mass. The flames reached the heavens!”
When Mo Tianji finished reading to this point, he closed the booklet and said blandly, “Plagues have existed since ancient times, but to kill over one hundred thirty thousand people for the sake of a few hundred infected by a plague... Your Lan family is the only one who has ever done this!”
Lan Buhui took a deep breath, and pain surfaced in her eyes.
...
“Seven hundred years ago, during a great drought, the people were suffering; the Lan family’s vassal family, the Shen family, failed to deliver their taxes on time. After a three-day delay, on the fourth day, eight hundred of the Shen family perished, and the guards guarding their manor disappeared overnight.”
“Fifteen years ago... ninety thousand people died!”
“Three years ago...”
Mo Tianji's voice was very calm, reading slowly. From start to finish, his tone remained flat. But every event he recounted was drenched in blood.
Such heinous acts were beyond any written record!
As Mo Tianji recited each word, Lan Buhui's face slowly changed, shifting from calmness to a slight flush. Gradually, it turned expressionless, like iron.
Mo Tianji lightly tapped the booklet against his hand and said, “Elder ancestor of the Lan family, do you still think these events never happened?”
“Currently, the main body of the Lan family consists of over one hundred thousand people, occupying one-fifth of Sky Orchid City... while Sky Orchid City has a population of millions! The tyranny of the Lan family is evident.”
“Surrounding the Lan family are large families congregated; naturally, they form a natural defense for the Lan family... What’s wrong with exterminating them all?”
