In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 428: Chapter 427: One Cut Down!_1

Off to the side, Mrs. Su-Hua was holding Su Pan’er, wailing loudly!

"Pan’er, my child! Woo woo, oh God, my Pan’er has saved so many people, even if she has sinned, she shouldn’t have died like this! Oh heaven, open your eyes and see..."

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but tear up.

"Godmother, godmother... Ke’er can’t bear to see you go, Ke’er doesn’t want you to die...woo woo..."

Ke’er clung to her, sobbing uncontrollably.

His shrill cries tore at the heart of those who heard them, causing them to weep as well.

Su Lao Si, who was pouring wine for Qin Yi, was not able to contain his trembling hands. Wine spilled everywhere.

It saturated Qin Yi.

The clan leader took a bowl of wine and sighed heavily!

"Qin Yi! One must accept their fate in life. What is destined to happen will happen. Ah! Come, drink this bowl of wine and prepare for journey..."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but let the old tears roll down, unable to finish his sentence.

Qin Yi, looking at the silent and tear-streaked Su Pan’er, felt an inexplicable pang of heartache echo in his heart!

He suddenly burst out laughing!

The melancholic laughter drew everyone’s attention: "Pan’er, Pan’er! I was wrong. I thought that as long as I protected you, gave you a warm home, cherished you, pampered you, and gave you the best I could offer, it would be enough! But only now do I realise..."

"Grass is inherently weak, how can it protect the flowers by its side? I was wrong. Only today did I understand!"

"If heaven has eyes, give me another chance. If I have to risk my life, I will create a grand future for you! Regrettably, I understood too late...too late! Pan’er, Pan’er..."

Only at this moment did he realise, alas, everything was too late!

"It’s not too late, Qin Yi."

Su Pan’er exerted a tremendous effort to squeeze out a weak smile: "As the saying goes, as long as the realization dawns, one will die with no regrets. If you have this intention, it’s enough! Really, it’s enough..."

The two of them silently gazed at each other, the somber atmosphere spreading to those around them.

Everyone couldn’t help but clutch their heads and weep bitterly.

Jun Ruochen’s face was cold as ice, as he watched the hourglass slowly move to two quarters past noon. His usual calm composure had turned incredibly anxious.

He gave the person beside him an order and they quickly left.

He thought for a moment, stood up from his chair, took a bowl of wine, and walked to the two of them.

His face was inscrutable as he looked at the two of them, "Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, we have known each other for a while, the commoners of Yongze County were treated by both of you, that’s your merit. On behalf of all the commoners of Yongze County, I toast to you."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi said their thanks in unison.

"Why are you thanking me, I didn’t manage to help you much, also..."

Jun Ruochen’s voice was choked with emotion as he rambled on and on with Su Pan’er and Qin Yi, pulling a long face.

Internally, he was anxious as can be.

Why hasn’t the person he sent returned with any news?

Could something have gone wrong?

Noticing Jun Ruochen’s pace of toasting and his dithering, fearing that the longer they wait, the more it would throw off the plan, Seventh Master whispered in Eighth Master’s ear.

Eighth Master immediately nodded, unable to wait any longer and ordered the executioner!

"It’s time for the execution! Clear the field!"

The soldiers quickly moved forward, driving out everyone who was toasting, grabbed the two by their arms, handcuffed them, and slammed their heads on the execution block.

"Spare those below the knife!"

A voice boomed from the crowd, Jun Ruoxue, who had run off earlier, had returned and was shouting loudly: "My Sister Pan’er is pregnant, you can’t kill her!"

Jun Ruochen’s eyes lit up!

"The criminal laws of Great Zhou dictate that a pregnant offender must be allowed to give birth before the death penalty can be carried out, Eighth Master, Seventh Master. Please consider carefully!"

"Hahaha! So what if it is so?"

Eighth Master burst out laughing: "Her sins are monstrous and utterly evil, inevitably implicating her descendants. Even if she has a child, they will also be implicated, subject to beheading! Why bother with superfluous actions, execute!"

"We can’t kill her! They have saved the lives of many commoners in our Yongze County, they are our life-saviors!"

"Yes, you can’t kill her, Doctor Su is a good person! She has saved so many people, helped us through the smallpox epidemic, Doctor Su is a good person!"

"We must not kill Doctor Su, Scholar Qin, they are our great benefactors in Yongze County!"

The onlooking commoners suddenly became emotionally charged, shouting loudly. They swarmed from all directions, making the scene congested.

These soldiers, seeing the situation was wrong, immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Can they stop this with only a few dozen soldiers?

Countless commoners still crowded relentlessly from all over the county city, converging into a torrential tide of people surging toward the execution ground, with continuous shouts and cries, and countless commoners rushing to the execution ground, trying to rescue Su Pan’er and Qin Yi.

Seventh Master and Eighth Master were fuming!

"Come here! Send troops to suppress this quickly! Whoever dares to run wild, treat them as rebels!"

"Hurry, hurry, go!"

He repeatedly urged the soldiers to go forward, but these soldiers had no effect at all.

This has provoked popular anger!

Unexpectedly, Su Pan’er and Qin Yi have such prestige in Yongze County.

Eighth Master and Seventh Master glanced at each other.

Shock filled the eyes of Su Sikong and Su Yue’er!

They initially stood aside, watching Su Pan’er going to her death, with crazed smiles on their faces!

But seeing these commoners suddenly go mad, they immediately stepped back in fear.

"Mad, mad! All these people are mad!"

Aren’t they all mad?

They all rush forward fearlessly, completely disregarding their own lives!

Seeing such a scene, Jun Ruochen was overjoyed.

He quickly said aloud: "Seventh Master, Eighth Master, please carefully consider my previous words, otherwise, I’m afraid the commoners will not accept it!"

"Su Pan’er has killed hundreds of soldiers, even His Majesty today will not allow such a brutal and vicious culprit to live in the world."

Seventh Master sneered coldly, with a fierce look: "Executioner, listen to my command, immediately execute Qin Yi and Su Pan’er to serve as a warning to others! Act now!"

The executioner looked at Jun Ruochen, then at the commoners, and finally his gaze fell on Su Pan’er and Qin Yi.

A determined expression appeared in his eyes.

Clang!

He dropped the big knife in his hand: "My parents and family were all helped by Doctor Su and Scholar Qin with the smallpox vaccination, allowing us to escape the plague. To cut off the head of a benefactor, I’m sorry, but I cannot obey the command. Please find someone else!"

Speaking, he let the big knife fall to the ground and turned to walk off the execution platform.

"Bastard! Come, arrest this executioner for me!"

Eighth Master was furious, commanding his sidekicks: "You, you go! Cut off the heads of these two people for me!"

Aren’t these foolish commoners causing a scene? Even an executioner is causing trouble?

Wait until these two people’s heads fall, he’d like to see how these fools continue to create a scene!

When the time comes, all the fools present today will be executed without exception!

The follower with the full body of horizontal flesh stepped forward, casually picked up the big knife, and walked to Qin Yi who was pressed hard on the chopping board by two men: "Don’t blame me for being cruel, I have no choice!"

"Pan’er, I’ll go first, I’ll wait for you under the nine springs, we’ll still be husband and wife in our next life!"

Qin Yi shouted out loud.

"Qin Yi, you go slower, Pan’er will follow shortly..."

The follower with a face full of horizontal flesh did not wait for the two to finish speaking, raised the big knife high, aimed at Qin Yi’s neck, and chopped down with one strike!
