Chapter 302
From then on, no one in the Sang family dared to disobey Sang Jingwan's orders.
Even the patriarch lowered his proud head.
until……
"What did you say?"
The clan leader looked at the pretty, young and beautiful woman in front of him, who looked like an evil ghost seeking revenge, and suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"I will cut a piece of your flesh every day. When I have done this for 7,329 days, the grudge between us will be written off. How do you think?"
Sang Jingwan seemed to be very good-tempered. She repeated what she had just said, then looked at the patriarch with a smile, waiting for his answer.
madman!
A complete lunatic!
The patriarch cursed everyone harshly in his heart.
His eyes were red with anger and he had countless vicious words he wanted to say.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he was afraid of the fear brought by Sang Jingwan's return, who could easily take several lives with just a wave of her hand. He swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words back into his stomach.
"You are now the real ruler of the Sang family."
The clan leader pursed his lips and gave a subtle reminder with a tense look.
Sang Jingwan has already obtained power and status. What else is she not satisfied with?
Why do you have to not let him go?
Compared to her, who was already in great glory and in power with hundreds of people from the Sang family kneeling to her, he had lost his most beloved and only son, and all the power in his hands was stripped away. How miserable he was!
How could she be so cruel that she wanted to kill him!
Could it be that her conscience was eaten by a dog?
The clan leader's tone was filled with uncontrollable hatred.
"Yes, I am already the head of the Sang family."
Sang Jingwan's eyes seemed to be chilled by ice. She snorted softly, with the corners of her lips slightly curved. The hatred that had been suppressed in her heart for twenty years, which had supported her to live until now and wanted to come back to take back everything, was now aroused again like kerosene added to a raging fire.
At this moment, looking at the patriarch in front of her who was still full of resentment and blaming her for being meddling and conscienceless, it was like looking at a dead person.
But the patriarch was completely unaware of this.
Instead, he felt that Sang Jingwan had listened to his words and understood his "well-intentioned" reminder.
The clan leader snorted softly, unconsciously recalling the high and mighty position he had in his previous life, and his words sounded full of fatherly tone.
"I'm glad you know."
"In terms of relationship, you should at least call me uncle."
"Not to mention that before you, I was the legitimate patriarch of the Sang family and managed the Sang family for decades."
"There is a lot of knowledge involved in managing the major affairs of a clan."
"You still have a lot to learn."
"It just so happens that I have experience...Puff!" The clan leader's smug attitude did not allow him to restrain himself before he was blown away.
It spun two and a half times in the air before falling down in a free fall.
He lay prone on the ground, vomiting blood mouthful after mouthful.
The great pain finally brought back the fear in people's hearts.
The patriarch thought of how Sang Jingwan had easily taken the lives of his son and wife before.
Now, taking his life is just a matter of raising one's hand.
"Of course I know."
"But you don't seem to know it yet."
Sang Jingwan walked over with a sneer, raised her foot and stepped on the palm of the person's hand, slowly pressing it hard.
"I came back to fight with you for power and gain, just to avenge you for deceiving me into entering the forbidden area and becoming a sacrifice in the Imperial Master's Mansion under the pretext of hosting a sacrifice!"
“What, what sacrifice, what National Master’s Mansion…” The patriarch subconsciously wanted to deny it.
He was trembling all over, feeling guilty and not daring to look Sang Jingwan in the eye.
"Don't you know, uncle?"
Sang Jingwan squatted down, reached out and lifted the man's chin: "If that's the case, then I really misunderstood you, uncle."
"Ah, yes, yes!"
The clan leader thought there was still room for improvement, so he nodded in agreement.
"I, I just don't know anything."
"It has nothing to do with me."
What he was thinking in his heart was: As a clan that serves spirits, the Sang clan is required to send in a sacrifice every hundred years.
Just at this time, the hundred-year period arrived.
He doesn't let Sang Jingwan go, so does he have to go himself?
Can I still let my son and daughter go?
He could also abandon his daughter.
And he originally planned to abandon his daughter.
After all, the son is going to stay and carry on the family line.
But isn’t there Sang Jingwan?
It's not that he felt sorry for his daughter, but if Sang Jingwan didn't serve as the sacrifice, she would definitely stay and occupy the position of clan leader that should have been inherited by his son!
Why!
He has worked diligently as the patriarch for so many years, and I don't know how much effort he has put in.
Why did he have to hand over the position of clan leader to a woman in the end!
What a man of destiny, the one destined by heaven!
He only believes that man can conquer nature.
But he had calculated everything, except for one thing he had not expected, and he had never imagined, that the person who was supposed to be sacrificed and swallowed by the forbidden land would come back!
I don’t know what kind of witchcraft I have been infected with.
It is easy to take someone's life with just a raise of your hand.
The clan leader's legs went weak and trembled with fear just thinking about it.
"I don't know anything, I really don't know anything!"
Yes! He just doesn't know anything.
Anyway, anyway, he was not the only one who wanted Sang Jingwan to be a scapegoat back then.
As long as he dies without knowing it, I don't believe anyone would risk their life to reveal the truth.
The patriarch gave himself an excuse to make himself feel at ease.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was no need to be afraid.
Sang Jingwan had no evidence to prove that he was the one behind this...
However, he forgot that in the face of absolute power, all principles are pale and powerless.
"Uncle doesn't know anything?"
Sang Jingwan spoke in a frivolous tone, as if she had discovered something interesting and wanted to tease a puppy. She curved the corners of her lips and squatted down to look at the clan leader.
"Yes, yes... I don't know anything."
The clan leader thought Sang Jingwan believed it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well!"
Sang Jingwan stood up and clapped her hands three times: "Come in!"
Who?
The patriarch panicked.
Is there anyone else here?
He turned around and saw that the people coming in were none other than the other members of the clan. He hurriedly tried to get up, but Sang Jingwan stepped on the person's shoulder and pressed him to the ground again. She chuckled and said, "Where do you want to go, uncle?"
The patriarch was sweating profusely in an instant.
"me……"
He stumbled and his teeth caught on his lip several times.
Sang Jingwan snorted with disdain.
He looked away with disgust, as if he had just seen something dirty. "You all heard it clearly just now, right?"
Sang Jingwan put a little force on her foot and stepped hard on the patriarch's shoulder: "Our chief patriarch said that he knows nothing."
"But they coaxed me into presiding over the sacrifice, saying that this was something that must be done by someone who is destined by heaven."
"This is also the process I must follow when I take over as the clan leader."
"In fact, it was just a trick to take me to a place where I could die and be a sacrifice to be trampled and humiliated at will!"
Sang Jingwan gritted her teeth, then sneered: "These are what everyone present said to me in person back then."
"Now, our clan leader says that he knows nothing and that the things that happened back then had nothing to do with him."
She chuckled a few times: "Then can I assume that if it wasn't him who did it, then it was everyone present who did it?"
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed and they all glared at the clan leader with angry eyes, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
"As the old saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor."

"Since it wasn't the clan leader who caused all this, I naturally wouldn't add to his sins for no reason."
"So……"
Sang Jingwan paused and said, "Who should I ask for the debt from next?"
"you?"
She then pointed at one person, then another: "Or you?"
"Or you?"
Sang Jingwan walked around and pointed at everyone present one by one.
Except for the patriarch who was lying on the ground, full of fear.
He was so frightened that his teeth chattered and his legs went weak.
After a while, a pool of yellow water appeared under him.
"He farted!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and the clan leader who had just peed his pants was so frightened that he could not even finish peeing.
"When he ordered us to speak with one voice, to trick you into going to the forbidden area and to be sacrificed to die in place of his child, who else could it be but him?"
After the first person spoke, the second and the third followed.
"Yes! If he hadn't used his power to force us to stand with him and do such a shameless and heartless thing, how could we have gone along with him and colluded with him?"
"Now he has turned his back on me. How can he be so shameless?"
More and more voices condemning the patriarch were heard.
Don't these people have any responsibility in the whole thing?
Didn't they contribute to making this happen?
Of course not!
The reason why the patriarch was able to win the support of the people and trick the chosen person who was supposed to inherit the position of patriarch into being a sacrifice was naturally due to their support.
Naturally, it is for their own benefit.
After all, if the patriarch’s children don’t want to go, then their children will have to go.
No matter who is the first to speak out, like the one who just spoke first, helping Sang Jingwan, or even just telling Sang Jingwan the truth in private and letting her find a way to resolve the dilemma, he or she will inevitably become the one to be sent as a sacrifice.
At that time, the person who was originally criticized by everyone will change from Sang Jingwan to the person who speaks for Sang Jingwan.
And will Sang Jingwan, who was rescued from the fire pit, come forward to speak for herself because of the kindness she felt at that time, and be willing to be a sacrifice without regrets to save their child?
Stop it... Human nature can never stand the test.
Sang Jingwan, who escaped from the fire pit, might be very grateful to the person who pulled her out of the fire pit at that time, but later, when she needed to choose a new person as a sacrifice, in order to survive herself, she would lose her conscience, forget the grace of the person who saved her life, and push the person who saved her down.
It is not new for victims to become perpetrators.
Therefore, all of them have this tacit consensus in their hearts.
Shoot the first bird.
The less trouble, the better.
Anyway, they are not the ones who will die, so why bother doing anything to provoke trouble and get themselves into trouble for nothing?
In the end, it will probably be a case of the dog biting Lu Dongbin.
Even being repaid with evil for good.
Can……
Even so, what does it matter?
Now they also have the same goal, which is to beat the man when he is down, and do their utmost to add insult to injury, in order to completely crush the patriarch to death under their feet.
As long as he died, the patriarch would naturally bear all the blame for those things that happened back then.
They can naturally hide themselves beautifully, or even act pitifully.
How could the patriarch not understand the hidden meaning in their words?
If he really lets them say this to death, he will probably never be able to turn things around.
He looked at Sang Jingwan with some fear, as if he was afraid that people would believe these people's nonsense and slander.
Fortunately, there was no special expression on Sang Jingwan's face.
The patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Sang Jingwan doesn't believe these words, there is still room for things to turn around.
Otherwise, he would really have to worry that Sang Jingwan would take his life in a fit of rage.
He no longer hopes that by standing on the moral high ground and accusing Sang Jingwan of being too cruel and petty, his reputation will be ruined and he will be regarded as a tyrant.
In the face of absolute power, what does a little verbal accusation or pressure mean?
The patriarch is very aware of the current situation.
He took a deep breath and angrily rebuked those former allies who took advantage of his illness to try to kill him and who spared no effort to stab her in the back.
"You are talking bullshit!"
"Weren't you all very happy at the beginning, that you could escape this disaster, live another hundred years, and bring a hundred years of peace to your descendants?"
"Now, everyone is like a red-eyed chicken, putting all the blame on me?"
"Do you think others are fools?"
"Old Five, it was you who first proposed this idea, right?"
"Old Nine, you were the one who supported Old Five the most in the beginning, and followed him around to show your support. It was you, right?"
"Lao Qi..."
The clan leader called out the names of those present one by one, pointing out what they had said and done in the past.
He snorted coldly: "Want to put all the blame on me?"
"You're dreaming!"
Faced with the clan leader's revelations and accusations, everyone felt guilty for a moment and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
But soon, they swept away this guilty feeling.
There was more disdain and ridicule in the eyes looking at the clan leader.
What can it do no matter how much the patriarch argues?
The minority obeys the majority.
As long as all of them gave consistent testimonies, as long as all of them said that they were forced by the clan leader to do things that hurt Sang Jingwan, would Sang Jingwan still believe the clan leader's defense?
When everyone says you are wrong, even if you are not wrong, you are already wrong.
All the rebuttals and explanations are useless at this point.
No one will believe what you say is the truth.
Even if this is the truth.
