Chapter 349
After much thought, the safest way is to start from the high priest.
What's more, they also wanted to know why the high priest suddenly changed his attitude!
It is not just a matter of finding someone as soon as possible to take their place and go to the forbidden area to die.
Moreover, the change in the high priest's attitude was too puzzling for them.
Is there something fishy going on here?
Could it be that Sang Jingwan's daughter did something in secret?
If this is true, they have to be on guard!
Who knows, if they are careless today, what awaits them tomorrow might be an abyss and eternal damnation?
Of course, it is better to be safe than sorry!
This is their unanimous idea, which is why so many people gathered here.
It seems like he is submitting to the high priest and giving him face.
In fact, it is still centered on one's own interests.
Compared to selecting a new sacrifice from among them and sending him to the forbidden area to die.
It is very possible that the high priest has been bribed by Sang Jingwan's daughter, and he may turn against them and stab them behind their backs at any time, or even let the wolf in, making things easy for Sang Jingwan's daughter, and even assisting her to avenge her past grudges.
That is the biggest threat to them.
The people of the Sang family also knew the truth. They had plotted against Sang Jingwan, which eventually brought about fierce revenge and almost wiped out the entire family. It was all their own fault and they could not blame anyone else.
But knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.
Even though they knew in their hearts that they did owe Sang Jingwan something for what happened back then.
But so what?
After all, the interests of Sang Jingwan alone are not as important as a hundred years of peace and security for everyone in the clan.
Just sacrificing her could buy them all a hundred years of peace.
This is clearly a very good deal.
At least that's the case for those present!
As for cause and effect, revenge or not...even if they feel guilty, they just want to say a few words of sorry and apologize verbally.
But I never thought of paying with my own life.
If Sang Jingwan had not been so relentless and insisted that they exchange their lives for theirs, they would not have denied her this face when they first knew that he could come back alive.
Because that woman Sang Jingwan simply refused to accept their apology.
She would not stop until she made them experience the same pain that she had experienced.
Isn't this just forcing them to die?
How can they accept that?
They had managed to survive with great difficulty by scheming against Sang Jingwan, but now they had to give it all back. Why did they do that in the first place?
So naturally they cannot accept it, and it is impossible for them to accept it.
There is only one solution left.
Since they were able to harm Sang Jingwan back then, they would be even more skilled and handy if they did it again now.
But what they didn't expect was that Sang Jingwan went to a forbidden area, which should have resulted in her certain death.
But she didn't know what luck she had that she managed to come back alive.
Not only did she come back, but she also brought with her a host of strange abilities, making it impossible for them to get close to her, let alone plot against her!
Seeing that they are helpless, they can only lie in wait for the right opportunity to act!
I didn't expect that this woman, after going through life and death, is still so easy to coax and deceive.
They just cried and wailed a few times, and told her about their difficulties and helplessness, and she believed them.
Later, seeing that they were sincere and even willing to give up the position of clan leader to her, she agreed without any doubt.
I never expected that these were just their calculations.
After Sang Jingwan became their new clan leader, they immediately arranged their own spy - Sang Ni!
They deliberately let Sang Jingwan see Sang Ni being bullied and excluded by people in the tribe... in order to arouse her empathy.
In the end, I had no choice but to give in and fall into the trap they had prepared long ago.
In fact, they have prepared a lot of roles like this.
But she didn't expect that before anyone else showed up, Sang Jingwan already felt sorry for Sang Ni.
Their plans all went smoothly.
Sang Niye lived up to everyone's expectations. Sang Jingwan betrayed him when I trusted him the most.
So much so that Sang Jingwan left sadly and completely left the Sang family.
But they never thought that Sang Jingwan left because she had accumulated too much disappointment and sadness, and was unable to regain her former glory, so she had to flee to another place and never return to the Sang family.
They never thought that the reason Sang Jingwan left was to avoid further persecution from them, and to avoid being framed in some sinister way.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
He planned to hide secretly, develop his power covertly, and when the time was right, he would wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Later, when their plan failed, the even more vicious people borrowed the power of the court in an attempt to uproot them!
Fortunately, this crazy woman did not go crazy and assassinate the emperor.
It was just that he had offended the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion, so Shixun wrote that there was still room for maneuver.
But even so, the incident at the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion that year still left them exhausted.
And all this is all thanks to Sang Jingwan!
This woman... is really too scheming and vicious!
Being too fussy and never giving in even when you are right.
It was obvious that if this woman had been more nice and kind at the beginning, things wouldn't have come to this.
They had so many opportunities to reconcile before.
As long as that vicious woman is willing to give in, and they have already shown their utmost sincerity and are willing to apologize...
If the woman had accepted it, they would never have come to this point.
They are tired of each other, despise each other, and scheme against each other deeply.
It's all her fault after all!
Now, she has left her daughter behind, who knows what kind of vicious person she might be!
If he turns out to be like her vindictive mother, they will really have to coax the high priest!
We must not give Sang Jingwan's daughter even the slightest chance to take advantage of us!
Seeing the change in everyone's expressions, the Great Elder guessed that these people had finally thought it through.
Then he said: "In that case, you all better control your temper!"
"Wait, if anyone says something disrespectful and angers the high priest again, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
Everyone was scolded again, their faces became even uglier, but they had no choice but to respond with their heads down.
"understood!"
The Great Elder didn't know whether he was still worried or was very proud of the pleasure of scolding others from a superior position: "One by one, have some shame and don't say you can't do it!"
Then he instructed the second elder: "Second elder, it was you who had a dispute with the high priest before, now it is your turn to knock on the door."
"You can also express your attitude to the high priest on our behalf."
Isn't this just stepping on his face and flattering the high priest?
Why?
He is given all the dirty work to do.
All the good reputation belongs to the eldest elder!
How can there be such truth in this world?
The second elder was unwilling to act because he was not convinced. The first elder snorted and questioned, "Second elder, are you unwilling?"
"Do you really want all of us to be delayed here and rejected by the high priest because of your selfishness?"
"If this delays things and causes our entire clan to be harmed by Sang Jingwan's daughter, can you bear the responsibility?"
Then why are you here pretending to be so high and mighty?
The second elder looked down upon the first elder's sanctimonious appearance.
But now, the Great Elder has put him here in front of so many people.
Even if he didn't want to respond, he had to respond.
Otherwise, if the high priest really made a big deal out of such a small matter and kept harping on it, refusing to reveal why he suddenly turned against them, he would not allow them to disturb Sang Jingwan's daughter, nor would he allow them to trick Sang Jingwan's daughter into being a sacrifice again.
At that time, if he really had to choose a sacrifice from among them... these people might use his hesitation at this time to criticize him.
Who knows, because of this, all those people might unite and push him to the position of sacrifice.
If this is really the case, then the loss will outweigh the gain.
Thinking of this, the Second Elder had to act humble and bowed respectfully: "That's what the First Elder said. The First Elder is right!"
"I was not sensible just now, but it's not that I don't consider the overall situation. I was just too absorbed in thinking about things, so I forgot to respond for a moment."
The second elder has always been a flexible person.
Now that you have already bowed your head, you might as well go all out.
To avoid people talking nonsense in the future.
"The High Priest!"
The second elder shouted loudly into the house: "Before, we were very offensive and didn't know the severity of the offense. I hope the high priest will be magnanimous and forgive our gaffes!"
He was very smart and extended his apology to everyone.
It sounded as if he had suffered some injustice, and he stood up on behalf of everyone else to face the high priest's challenges.
Everyone couldn't help but be moved.
He originally wanted to be the one to take the limelight, but because of Qiao'er, he couldn't lower himself and only wanted to get the benefits without making any sacrifices.
Unexpectedly, one step slow will lead to every step slow.
I was unexpectedly taken advantage of by the scheming Second Elder.
I saw the second elder apologizing loudly over and over again in front of the high priest.
The Great Elder was somewhat unwilling and was about to say something to steal the limelight, but he heard the door creak open.
"come in."
Hearing the sound, everyone was suddenly overjoyed.
Although the Great Elder was unhappy, he did not intend to give up this opportunity.
Just as he was about to be the first to step in, he was interrupted by the high priest's cold and ruthless voice: "My room is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many of you."
"Just let the Second Elder in."
"I think with the Second Elder's eloquence, he wouldn't be unable to convey a message clearly."
The high priest stepped aside halfway to allow only the second elder to enter.
Everyone looked at each other, and the Second Elder himself was a little confused.
However, he did not think much about it, and soon followed the second elder in.
"Second Elder, please take a seat."
The high priest had a cold expression, but was quite polite and courteous, pouring water for the guest.
On the contrary, the Second Elder, who was eloquent and silver-tongued before, now looked awkward, completely different from his previous straightforwardness.
"The High Priest..."
He swallowed nervously, and he lacked the confidence to call for help.
The high priest interrupted him coldly: "Since you are curious about why I made this decision suddenly, please listen to me quietly."
"Oh, oh, okay, okay." The second elder became even more nervous now.
The high priest glanced at him, expressionless: "Actually there is no special reason."
"The reason why I suddenly changed my mind was because of Jiang Anning... oh, that is, Sang Jingwan's daughter."
The high priest raised his lips slightly and looked at the second elder: "She was summoned to the capital by the imperial decree."
"What?!!"
The second elder was immediately shocked. "How could this happen? Why was she summoned to the capital?"
Didn’t Sang Jingwan offend the Marquis Jiang’an’s Mansion?
Even if her daughter had not been targeted and survived by chance, she would not have the ability to get involved with the palace, right?
Could it be that they missed some news?
The high priest sneered: "Under what pretext were you summoned to the capital?"
"Ah——" The second elder looked at the high priest in confusion.
"In the name of sewing wedding attire for the young master of the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion."
After the high priest finished speaking, the second elder was even more incredulous.
"Who?"
"Marquis Jiang'an's Mansion?"
The second boss frowned: "High Priest, you are not talking nonsense here and deceiving me, right?"
"Jiang--how could Sang Jingwan's daughter be related to the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion?"
"There is a blood feud between them!"
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
"absurd!"
"How ridiculous!"
The second elder simply couldn't believe it: "Back then, Jiang Anhou Mansion was angered by Sang Jingwan, and almost killed everyone in our Sang family. How could they allow Sang Jingwan's daughter to sew wedding clothes for their young master?"
The high priest sneered.
"Do you think I'm willing to believe this?"
"When I heard the news, I was much more surprised than you."
"How could I not know about the grudge between Jiang'an Marquis Mansion and Sang Jingwan?"
"But this is the way it is... No matter how much you don't want to believe it, it has already happened."
"Besides, this is a royal decree! The royal decree appointed!"
“Who could refuse?”
"Even a family as noble as the Jiang'an Marquis's Mansion is ultimately just an ant under the imperial power."
"They can't resist, let alone our small Sang family?"
