On the day Ponda was executed, the entire Qiao family went to the execution ground to watch.
That Song Laosan was really hard to kill; now, he's finally going to meet Yama, the King of Hell.
A large number of death row inmates are executed every month. Only three days have passed since the verdict was announced. Song Laosan was unlucky and only lived for three more days.
At this moment, he and a large group of death row inmates knelt in rows on the execution ground, their feet and hands shackled, their bodies bound with ropes, and death warrants stuck in their backs, bearing their names and the charges: practicing witchcraft and cursing the fortunes of the Great Swamp.
The common people were used to those who committed murder, arson, and robbery, and paid little attention to them. Almost everyone's eyes were on Pang Da, pointing and gossiping about him.
"Witchcraft has been a taboo in our land throughout the ages. This person is incredibly audacious; he's probably courting death."
"Now it's all good, he really is going to the Yellow Springs, so it can be considered that his wish has been fulfilled."
"The fact that they didn't confiscate our property for practicing witchcraft is already a sign of leniency from above."
"This curse on the Great Swamp's fortune is not only a curse on the emperor, but also a curse on us ordinary people. It doesn't want us to live a good life."
"Good riddance, he deserved to die."
"Yes, good for him. Beheading him was too lenient. He should have been torn apart by five horses and executed by slow slicing."
As the people talked, they threw whatever they were holding at Panda. Some of the objects were hard and smashed Panda's head, causing him to bleed profusely.
Pang Da neither flinched nor dodged; he seemed oblivious to the people who scorned him, his gloomy gaze fixed on the Qiao family members in the crowd.
The entire Qiao family came, including Qiao Xi'er, who was heavily pregnant, just to see him die.
After fighting for several years, he still lost, and lost miserably and utterly.
He's not even forty years old yet, how could he be willing to die now? It's just that Deputy General Chen is using Pang You to threaten him.
If he doesn't take all the blame, both he and his son will die, and everyone will be doomed. If he obediently does as he's told, his son will live, and Vice President Chen will continue to help him deal with Qiao Lian'er's family.
After repeated failures, even this ingenious plan failed to bring down the Qiao family. Pang Da was utterly powerless and exhausted, and he decided to hand the gamble over to Pang You.
He believed that his son would be even smarter than him and would be able to deliver a fatal blow to the Qiao family when he grew up.
So even if he didn't want to die, he still had to die.
Thinking of these things, Pang Da was extremely depressed and unwilling, and his eyes, which were filled with deep hatred, suddenly released a strange light.
He suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, staring intently at Qiao Lian'er with bloodshot eyes, waving his arms wildly with every movement, each gesture conveying a clear meaning.
Qiao Lian'er, don't think you've won. One day, someone will come and get you. You'll have to spit out everything you've swallowed.
Seeing that he was about to die, yet still thinking of dealing with her, Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Sometimes, hatred becomes an obsession, and it goes beyond mere hatred. One must achieve the goal, or else die with regrets.
There was another reason why Song Laosan hated her so much: he felt that as his biological daughter, she had disobeyed him and challenged his authority in every way. As parents, being disobeyed and hated by their own children is the most unacceptable thing.
Qiao Lian'er said quietly, "Don't worry, I will send them down to keep you company."
Her voice wasn't loud, but amidst the noise of the crowd, Song Laosan could clearly discern her meaning through her lip movements.
“Including your son, Pang You,” Qiao Lian’er added, delivering another blow.
