I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 352

"Jiang An Ning was summoned to the capital this time to sew wedding clothes for the young master of the Marquis of Jiang An's mansion!"

"And it was this young master who strongly advocated the extermination of our Sang family!"

"If something unexpected happens during his wedding, and Jiang An Ning is suddenly kidnapped by us, I'm afraid that the anger that just subsided will spread to us again."

"It would be good to let Jiang An Ning be a sacrifice for us and die for us, but if we still can't live after she dies, then what's the point of letting her die for us?"

"Do you think this is true?"

After listening to this, everyone nodded.

That is indeed the truth, but...how come this is completely different from what the Second Elder told them when he went out?

"High Priest, you just asked the Second Elder to go out and talk to us about this matter, too?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

The high priest made a puzzled expression: "Of course..."

He realized it later: "Could it be that the second elder didn't want to talk to you about this first?"

Second Elder: !!!!!!

Hey! !

Evil creature!! That’s not what you just said!!
When did you let me out to talk about these things first?
The second elder was in great panic at this time, and he began to carefully recall the many details that the high priest had told him to go out.

It seems like, he was indeed asked to speak out?

However, it seems that there is no request for him to come out and say anything.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally began to question the Second Elder.

"Second Elder, what exactly are you thinking?"

"Yes! Second Elder!"

"We let you come in and ask the high priest because we all trust you!"

"But how could you, knowing clearly what the high priest said, and such a big thing, pretend to know nothing? Not only did you not tell us anything after you came out, but you also turned around and said bad things about the high priest?!"

"Second Elder! This is where you are wrong."

"That's right! You can't be so selfish and ignore the safety of others just to satisfy your own dark thoughts."

"Yes! Fortunately, the high priest is generous and doesn't bother with you. Otherwise... your behavior would really cause us all great suffering."

Everyone was talking one after another, blaming the Second Elder.

The second elder was confused.

No, he didn’t. He is wronged. He clearly said it all.

At most, he, he did not say that Jiang Anning was summoned to Beijing by the imperial edict.

But this was also because he thought that Jiang Anning being summoned into the palace by the imperial edict was far less important than the possibility that Sang Jingwan might still be alive.

That’s why he talked about Sang Jingwan first and didn’t mention Jiang Anning… It’s not that he didn’t want to say it, it’s that he didn’t have time to say it, he forgot to say it!!
How could these people talk nonsense and wrongly accuse him?

He is so wronged!

But no one paid any attention to his cry for justice.

The first elder stood up at the right time and angrily scolded the second elder: "You really disappoint me! I never thought you would do such a thing."

"You have betrayed everyone's trust in you, and you have betrayed my trust in you."

"Things have come to this. You are too selfish. It is really not appropriate for you to continue to stay in the position of the second elder."

"From now on, you will stay in the clan and enjoy your old age."

"You don't have to worry about anything in the clan anymore."

"You have been working for the clan for these years. Although you have not made any contributions, you have been rewarded for your hard work!"

"I just hope you can take good care of yourself in the future and not do anything that harms the clan again."

“I’m sorry to disappoint everyone.”

The Great Elder spoke righteously, as if he was really righteous.

The second elder was extremely angry.

But he had already aroused public anger at this time.

No matter what you say, no one will listen or believe it.

He gritted his teeth in hatred but didn't dare to show anything.

Otherwise, you will be immediately labeled as unrepentant and expelled from the tribe!

It's better to put it aside for now and take it slow!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Let's just wait and see!
The second elder made up his mind, and in an instant he seemed to have aged many years. He walked out with a hunched back and a haggard look on his face.

However, no one present cared.

They all looked at the high priest: "This matter is of great importance, and it concerns the safety of all our people."

"High Priest, do you have any good solution for this?"

The high priest shook his head.

When everyone saw this, their expressions changed and became gloomy, no longer as enthusiastic as before.

It seemed that as long as the high priest said there was no other way, they would immediately use all the methods they had just used on the second elder on the high priest.

"Everyone, please don't be too busy. Consider the fact that Jiang Anning was summoned to the capital by the imperial decree."

"In addition to this matter, I have another piece of news..." The high priest paused and looked in the direction where the second elder left. "I wonder if the second elder told you about this matter when he left just now? I asked him to tell you about this matter together with the previous one!"

Everyone looked confused.

"Okay, it seems that maybe it wasn't said?" the high priest asked uncertainly.

He sighed, and under the gaze of everyone, he said: "I also learned another piece of news-"

"Sang Jingwan is very likely still alive."

Even though everyone had clearly heard the news from the second elder.

Listening to it again now, I am still shocked.

I also think it is impossible.

"This news——the Second Elder just told us."

"But neither we nor the Second Elder believe it."

"The high priest said that Sang Jingwan is still alive, but is there any definite evidence?"

"I believe the high priest wouldn't be like the second elder, who makes up stories without any evidence. But when Sang Jingwan died, the jade token was also destroyed. Everyone in our clan saw it with their own eyes, so it can't be false."

"Now that the high priest has suddenly told us that Sang Jingwan is still alive, he must have something to convince us to accept it."

It is still difficult for everyone to accept that Sang Jingwan is still alive.

But these words sound completely different when spoken by the high priest and when spoken by the second elder.

If these words were spoken by the Second Elder, they would not believe a single word of them.

There won't even be any hesitation.

But these words came from the mouth of the high priest. Although they found it difficult to accept, they had to hesitate - wondering if this was true?
In particular, the high priest told them not to consider even summoning Jiang An Ning to Beijing for the time being, but to think about the fact that Sang Jingwan might still be alive.

Everyone's eyes fell on the high priest. The high priest just shook his head.

"I have no evidence."

The moment he said this, everyone frowned.

"I also heard this news from someone else."

"At first, I was just like you. I didn't believe it at all."

"But after thinking about it for a few days, I began to feel that there might not be any smoke without fire in this matter."

"The person who said this news is considered to be of some status."

"Especially because he has some connection with the person who killed Sang Jingwan back then."

"Moreover, this person has been monitoring Jiang Anning's movements for years."

"It's because Sang Jingwan left a message back then."

Everyone frowned: "Sang Jingwan left a message? What did she say?"

"I don't know what they said specifically, but from what I heard from those people, it was roughly saying that once Sang Jingwan's daughter Jiang Anning died, Sang Jingwan would be resurrected."

Everyone frowned even more tightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Since she is already dead, how can she be resurrected?"

No one in the Sang family believed it.

Even if Sang Jingwan had extraordinary powers, she couldn't bring a dead person back to life.

What's more, if Sang Jingwan was really not dead, then why would the jade tablet of Sang Jingwan in the ancestral hall still have no color?
"I don't know the specific reason yet."

The high priest looked serious and said, "I am only telling you the news I heard."

"The main reason is to discuss with you. If Sang Jingwan is still alive, how should we deal with it? Should we negotiate peace with others? Or should we continue to hate each other and fight to the death? We must come up with a set of rules."

He lowered his voice and said, "And there is one more thing I need to tell you."

"Whether Sang Jingwan is still alive, you might as well listen to what I have to say before making a judgment."

Everyone's heart was suddenly raised to their throat by his words.

"How much news do we have? High Priest, why don't you just tell us all at once?"

"You come here and there... It really scares us."

"There's nothing wrong with my heart, but you're scaring me into having some problems."

"Yes! Yes! How much news do you have? Why don't you just tell us all at once? We will never interrupt you."

"It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Don't cut them here like you're using a blunt knife to cut flesh, one after another."

Everyone pleaded loudly, wanting the high priest to finish his words in one breath.

There are so many pieces of news that will scare them to death, so don’t hide them.

"This should be the last one."

"Even if there is any other news, it is not as important as this. You can wait for a while and I will explain it in detail."

Everyone waved their hands: "No! You should say everything you want to say at once."

The high priest said, "Well, there is really no way to tell you all at once. You might as well listen to me finish telling you the news first."

Everyone made a bitter face: "Okay, okay."

What else can I do if it doesn’t work?
Everyone seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate at this point.

"You should still remember why the two brothers Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai were expelled from the Sang family, right?"

asked the high priest.

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Of course I remember."

"It was the time when the clan was holding a major sacrificial ceremony. We wanted to let the younger generations like Sang Nanshan and Sang Donghai see the world. When we are old, they will be able to support the Sang clan and preside over the sacrificial ceremony. We won't be left without anyone to burn paper money after we die."

"In such a solemn occasion, a young man like Sang Nanshan actually lost his sense of propriety and disturbed the ancestors!"

"In order to set rules for other young people, we will make a decision to severely punish the person and expel him from the tribe after reporting to the high priest."

"Why did the high priest suddenly bring up this matter?"

Could it be that you suddenly regretted your decision?

Even if this is true, now that things have come to this, can we put all the blame for the original decision on them?

Everyone couldn't help but look at the high priest with suspicion.

"That day, the reason why Sang Nanshan suddenly spoke up and delayed the sacrifice was because he was curious and looked up at the jade tablet on the altar when everyone was about to bow their heads."

The high priest said calmly: "As a result, I saw that the jade token belonging to Sang Jingwan suddenly turned green again."

"The jade token suddenly regained its emerald green color. Do you know what this means?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.

"This, this, this, how is this possible?"

None of them could believe that such a thing could happen.

"High Priest, are you kidding us? The jade token indicates a person's life or death, how could it suddenly return to its emerald green color?"

"Doesn't this mean that this person is not only alive, but has also regained his youth?"

"If there really is a way to bring back the dead and restore youth in this world, then what change is there in this world?"

Some people may hold different opinions: "Have you ever thought about another question? Why did Sang Jingwan end up in trouble with the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion? But she was saved by the royal family..."

"But even so, he still died."

"Don't you think this is more like an act of murder to silence someone?"

"Since ancient times, most emperors have been obsessed with the art of immortality."

"I want to keep this authority in my hands for thousands of generations by seeking the immortals."

"If things are really as the high priest said, could it be that Sang Jingwan really has the ability to bring the dead back to life and regain youth that caught the emperor's eye?"

"The so-called feud with the Marquis' Mansion is just a show for us to watch."

"It's just to help Sang Jingwan get rid of our Sang family. Or maybe it's not to get rid of them, but just to make us live in fear for the rest of our lives."

"In fact, all of this is just a deal between Sang Jingwan and the emperor."

"We are just a part of the transaction."

After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, and some of them suddenly realized what was going on.

"You know what, this actually sounds reasonable."

"In this case, it makes more sense why Jiang Anning was able to work as an embroiderer at the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion, even though Sang Jingwan was clearly at odds with the Marquis Jiang'an Mansion. Why was she so lucky to be chosen by the emperor and become a famous embroiderer?"

"What a vicious thought!"

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this made sense.

They couldn't help but curse at him.

"What did we do to Sang Jingwan? We just lied to her that she was sacrificed for us. Yes, that's right, she should have died for us. After all, she didn't really die, did she?"
