Chapter 58: The Eve of Action
"Please forgive me, sir. I was farting just now. Just think of me as a fart and let me go."
Niu Daren grabbed the ground with his head, his tone was particularly sincere.
Two of his men also begged for mercy.
But Xu Rong was unmoved. He was indeed not a small-minded person, but for someone who threatened him with his family, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Clang!
As soon as the sound of unsheathing the sword sounded, Niu Daren felt a pain in the back of his neck.
Before he fell into darkness completely, he saw the sky and the headless corpse gushing blood.
Niu Daren's two men trembled all over when they saw Niu Daren's head falling to the ground, their eyes wide open, full of unwillingness and resentment, and the body that fell to the ground and fell into a pool of blood.
The smell of urine spread.
Xu Rong frowned: "Kill them all and bury them."
Xu Rong still knew a little about people like the Black Snake Gang who collected protection fees.
There are many people like Niu Daren who collect protection fees in the Black Snake Gang, and each person is responsible for a different area.
Just like enfeoffment, Chen Jiu, the leader of the Black Snake Gang, is at the top, and the leaders below each have an area of responsibility.
These hall masters then assigned their subordinates to take charge of smaller areas, which were divided layer by layer.
At the bottom are the thugs, such as Niu Daren's two men.
In this way, even if Niu Daren dies, no one will know about it for a while.
Unless his death attracts others' attention, then he has told others before where he is going.
However, judging from Niu Daren's behavior before the lion opened his mouth, he most likely acted privately.
The Black Snake Gang also has its own rules, so it can always stay in this area.
If they were all like Niu Daren, how could the people in this area still have a way to survive?
If they can't survive, some people will naturally resist. With the size of the Black Snake Gang, it is impossible for them to suppress them directly like the government.
After all, they are just a gang.
In this way, as long as the body is properly disposed of, it will not be a problem to hide it for a few days.
Even if it goes smoothly, no one may know about this matter for decades until it is completely buried in the dust.
After disposing of the bodies of the three people, Xu Rong said: "In the next few days, everyone must be more vigilant and make sure nothing goes wrong, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted and the enemy will be alerted."
"yes!"
The group of people responded in unison.
Xu Rong nodded with satisfaction, and then began to think about the next thing.
For the sake of caution, he has not contacted Tie Ying in the past two days, and he doesn't know what his preparations are now.
The more critical this moment is, the more careful you must be.
However, this would inevitably make Xu Rong a little worried about whether Tie Ying had made arrangements.
The next two days were uneventful, and no one from the Black Snake Gang had any abnormal reactions. Obviously, Niu Daren's disappearance did not attract any attention.
On this day, Tan Yong and Han Shihai arrived at Cangqing City with a group of elites from the White Lotus Sect of Wan'an City.
The two groups soon joined together.
Tan Yong gently stroked the mole on his chin with his hand, and a smile appeared on his slightly ruffian face.
"Yu Hen, are things ready?"
"Report to the helmsman, we are ready."
Xu Rong took out the drawings he had prepared a long time ago and said, "Everyone, please take a look. This is the government's layout at the execution ground tomorrow. It is the information that should be passed on."
"And here is the evacuation route I made based on the results of my own visits and the intelligence from inside."
"Also, these are two plans for this operation. After the helmsman reads it, which one he thinks is better, we will implement which one tomorrow."
Regarding this matter, Xu Rong used his skills as a social animal in his previous life to collect and summarize the existing information and formulate a reasonable plan.
Tan Yong and others had never seen such a way of doing things before, and they couldn't help but be amazed.
Even Han Shihai looked at Xu Rong with admiration.
"Which one of these two options do you think should be chosen?"
After Qin Yong read it, he handed the paper recording the plan to Han Shihai.
Han Shihai finished reading it quickly and then fell into deep thought.
"The first option is to take action on the way to the execution ground. This approach is more sudden. However, the road from the Yamen to the execution ground is more suitable for the government to ambush, and the officials are more vigilant."
"According to the intelligence provided by the insider, the government will have some arrangements on this road, but he has not found out the details, so there is a certain risk."
After Xu Rong finished the first one, he started to talk about the second one.
"As for this plan, the government's layout has been clearly investigated, but the guards must be stronger. The risk seems higher, but for us, it is actually lower."
"The reason is very simple, that is, we are stronger than them."
"No matter which plan you choose, there are pros and cons."
He just briefly introduced it to others, but what was written on the paper was much more detailed than this.
Han Shihai said: "In my opinion, it is better to choose the second option. The dangers are clear and the evacuation route is well planned."
Tan Yong nodded: "Heroes see the same thing!"
Seeing that the two of them reached an agreement and chose the second plan, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this was done intentionally by Xu Rong.
It is easy to be ambushed halfway, and the danger is uncertain. These are things Xu Rong emphasized repeatedly in the plan.
The purpose is to let the two of them choose the latter option, so that they can fall into the trap set by Tie Ying and him.
Of course, if he chooses the first option, Xu Rong also has a way to notify Tie Ying in advance.
When Tie Ying knows about it, he will naturally be able to adapt accordingly.
Fortunately, things are moving in the direction the two of them planned.
Later, Tan Yong and Han Shihai asked some more questions, and Xu Rong answered them one by one.
These are all things that he has considered in advance, so it is naturally not a problem for him now.
After the three people discussed it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Tan Yong looked at Xu Rong, his eyes full of admiration: "I sent you here before, and it turned out that I was right. Yu Hen, you are good!"
"The helmsman is so complimentary. This is what I should do. I am very surprised to be recognized by the helmsman."
Xu Rong looked surprised and inexplicable, but actually there was no fluctuation in her heart.
Tan Yong and Han Shihai exchanged glances, and both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
In their opinion, Xu Rong was still young after all, and he would be so excited with just a little compliment.
"Yu Hen, do your best, and when I go back this time, I will definitely show my merit for you."
Qin Yong's skill in drawing pie is not bad either, and now he can do it with ease.
