Pei Jiang looked somewhat lost. He didn't understand why everything had turned out this way.
The Court drafted human sacrifices. Three years ago, it was his father. Two years ago, it was his mother. Last year, it was his older brother. This year, it was his turn.
According to the rules in the 'Da Heng Law', it should not have been his turn. When drafting human sacrifices, the bloodline was supposed to be spared, preventing a family from being wiped out.
But now, he had been seized. It wasn't just him; all the villagers had been taken, from the oldest to the youngest. Everyone was there; not a single one had been left behind.
"V...Village Chief? Why are you here too?" Only then did Pei Jiang notice their village chief. Normally, village chiefs were exempt from the draft. To see him captured as well was unbelievable.
