"Who is the village chief of River Village?" The Government Official shouted before reaching the anxious disaster victims.
The villagers of River Village were a bit baffled. The village chief? Could it be that the Imperial Envoy already knows about the chief taking them away from the dispute?
Could he be blaming them for staying out of it, and is about to punish the chief who led them?
"Village chief!" Several villagers from River Village were extremely tense upon suddenly mentioning the chief, not knowing what exactly was happening.
"Is the village chief of River Village here? The Lord Imperial Envoy summons you!"
The people of River Village were terrified, feeling that the Imperial Envoy was so fierce and calling the chief would be akin to a sheep entering a tiger's den.
The chief was held by the crowd and could only respond verbally, "I am the village chief of River Village, Xue Miao. May I ask, sir, why has the Lord Imperial Envoy summoned me?"
