Li Wangcun was regarded as a role model, but the consequences were predictable.
After all, the so-called clan elders are still ordinary people. Except that they are older, the Taoist city and the twists and turns in their minds are no match for Xuanqingwei who lives in a dark corner all day long.
As long as you give a Xuanqingwei veteran like Tang Qingyuan a clear direction, he can use ruthless means within the rules to get things done.
This is the brain of an old man, very lively and ruthless.
In Tang Qingyuan's eyes, he has long recognized the values of doing things. For those people in the mountains and plains, he really did not take it seriously. It's not too much, I even think it's quite appropriate.
Tang Qingyuan had previously advocated large-scale killings. He knew the tempers of the people very well. Killing one or two might make them angry, killing a dozen or so might cause trouble, but killing dozens or hundreds of people would make those "unruly people" keep their peace. They huddled in their homes and dared not show their heads.
Courage can be "strong" or "broken", depending on each person's ability to bear it. Even soldiers or monks who are used to seeing killing scenes are still likely to be "broken", but the upper limit is very high.
Picking up a knife to chop is certainly the simplest method, and it is also the most commonly used method among the Xuanqing Guards. They have become accustomed to it over the years. So when Shen Hao said that he would implement the evil-killing plan with Huairou as the main focus, Tang Qingyuan sneered in his heart and thought, "Why bother?"
But as Tang Qingyuan was an old man, he naturally would not speak out his inner thoughts directly. Instead, he followed Shen Hao's instructions very seriously and did not deviate from the purpose of the plan when encountering obstacles.
However, the method of "killing one group and establishing another" also adheres to Xuanqingwei's always ruthless and brutal style.
The method is very bloody and not very transparent. But the effect is definitely not bad from a logical point of view.
Shen Hao is not a Holy Mother. When he becomes ruthless, even Tang Qingyuan will get mad. However, he is far more patient than the average Xuanqing Guard against defenseless ordinary people. At the same time, he does not want to mess up the evil-killing plan. It's too superficial, but it needs to be done in a down-to-earth manner. That's why we are strictly ordered to find the target from the beginning. Don't use the usual rough methods to cut off the crop and leave. What you want is to get it done once and for all.
Now that the plan is blocked, Shen Hao knows that for the time being, Gale and Storm are still needed to open up the situation first, and then Hefeng and Xiaoyu can follow up.
So Tang Qingyuan's method was quickly adopted by Shen Hao. But he also made additions. Since we want to "kill one group and establish another group", we have to think more carefully. After all, the opponents are not essentially the people in the mountains who interfere, but the evil monks who hide behind these people and use "customs" and "worship to gods" to hide their identities.
"Either don't do it, or do it in one step, without delay. It must be fast and complete, and there must be no clue left."
Since Shen Hao nodded in agreement, the matter had been settled. Immediately, Tang Qingyuan and the other four began to refine this idea into a specific plan.
Because Heishui has always been responsible for the previous affairs, Heishui will also take the lead this time. It is necessary to find all the people who dance the most fiercely in each remote mountain village, and clearly mark their movements in the album. . It is pointing out the target for those who take action later.
After that, the black flag camps from various places will select elite soldiers and generals to kill people and take the assassination route. It is not difficult for a group of monks to assassinate a few ordinary people.
In fact, Heishui can handle it directly, but Heishui can't leave everything to Heishui. Otherwise, where would you let Tang Qingyuan and the others put their face?
After everyone is killed and there is no one to support the family, the people in each village will definitely be a little panicked. Naturally, it will fall on the head of each village who is usually the most prominent figure. In this way, Xuanqing Guard can come directly to the door. Use gentle means to win over. Compared with the stubborn clan elders, the village chiefs who have seen the world and often come into contact with the yamen are naturally much easier to talk to.
The plan is not set in stone, it can be roughly arranged, and if something goes wrong, it can be adjusted on the fly.
Soon, the strategy of "killing one group and establishing another" that day was sent to the Black Flag Battalion in charge of the frontline of the evil-killing plan. The corners of these people's mouths were slightly raised, and their hearts were filled with murderous intent. They had been so angry these days, and now they were finally able to vent their anger.
The next day, almost at the same time, many people died in all the remote mountain villages in Jingxi.
Either he accidentally fell into a paddy field, knocked his head down and drowned in shallow water; or he drank too much and died at home; or he accidentally rolled down the steps when going out and broke his neck...
It has to be said that there are still many elite personnel in the Black Flag Camp who are good at causing various sudden deaths. This was also the reason why Tang Qingyuan and the others refused to take action from Heishui. They also had people under their command who did such dirty work, and Heishui was not the only one who had them.
Because it was a surprise attack and launched in a unified manner, it was worthy of the word "surprise" in terms of both time and scope. As a result, all this thunderous assassination was successfully completed without any obstruction from the hidden evil monks.
That is, after that day, those remote villages that wanted to compete with the Xuanqing Guards suddenly had a mysterious undercurrent hidden under the funeral. The villagers who had lost their backbone could not help but focus on the most prominent person alive besides the clan elders: the village chiefs.
The village chief not only handles some territorial disputes, but also has the power of the villagers. He is usually controlled by the clan elders' council. Now that all the members of the elders' council are dead, the village chief's power in the village has reached the ceiling.
The damned ones are all dead. Although they died in a strange way, who has the ability to find out that it was someone from the Black Flag Battalion who did it? Expect a group of mountain folk to solve the case? Or do you expect those evil monks to stand up and uphold justice?
Of course, the so-called "god worshiping" custom also reacted, and the so-called "divine decree" was secretly announced, saying that someone had assassinated the clan elders, and pointed the finger at the missionary team of the Black Flag Camp.
However, compared to the well-prepared Black Flag Battalion, these evil monks who were secretly spying seemed to be slow to react.
Black Flag Camp has inherited Shen Hao's consistent style, which is to act fast and tightly, and rarely make mistakes. After they defeated the elders of a clan, they immediately contacted the village chiefs of each village. Whether it was inducement or coercion, how could a mere village chief really withstand the tactics of the Black Flag Camp?
Therefore, as soon as those so-called "divine decrees" or "miracles" came out and no explanation was given, the village chiefs already pointed the finger back at these "gods", saying that the "gods" must be lonely and need some pious help. The disciples went to serve, so the most devout disciples were taken away at once.
