Sure enough, Chen Bing really wasn't any good, just like Wen'an County Lord said.
He is indeed a despicable ingrate.
The onlookers pointed at him, and those disdainful words reached the ears of the Chen and Pan families, making their faces look increasingly grim.
Qi Lie waved his hand, instructing the officers to release Chen Bing, who was then taken down with a bucket of water.
Chen Bing slumped to the ground, gasping for air.
Qi Lie coldly snorted, "Good for you, Chen Bing, daring to spew lies in my courtroom, completely disregarding the authority and the laws of Dasu. Someone, take Chen Bing down for his contempt of court, and give him ten lashes."
Chen Bing was shocked, "My lord, I was wrong, I won't dare again."
However, it was useless; contempt of court cannot be excused with a mere apology. Without setting an example, how will others have any respect for the court or authorities in the future?
