Chapter 1881 It Is Destined to Be Continued
Chen Qiu no longer knew how she got to the government office. When she came to her senses, her father was already kneeling in the middle of the lobby, turning his head to look at her and asking questions with his eyes.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Chen Qiu lowered his head, not daring to look into Chen Bing's eyes.
Both sides of the lobby were already filled with official officials, and many people crowded outside the courtroom, staring inside intently.
With the sound of a board hitting the ground, Qi Lie walked out of the house wearing official uniform and sat behind the desk.
He slapped the hall suddenly and said, "Who is there?"
Shu Yu saluted, "The Lord of Wen'an County is suing Chen Bing, a man from Chenggu County, for forging official documents for his own selfish purposes more than 30 years ago."
Qi Lie nodded, as if he didn't know her at all, and said seriously, "It turns out to be the County Lord. I'm here to show County Lord Wen'an his seat."
Shu Yu had already asked someone to write the petition, and as soon as she sat down, the petition was presented on the desk.
After looking at it, Qi Lie was shocked again. He looked at Chen Bing, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, and said, "Chen Bing, is what is said on the paper true? Do you know your guilt?"
"My lord, I didn't. I was wrongly accused."
"Unjustly accused?" Qi Lie's expression was serious, "The pleadings are very clear and detailed, but you still say that you are unjustly accused. Well, I am not someone who only listens to the opinions of one family. In this case, you will be living for more than thirty years. Let me tell you exactly what happened before. Start talking about what happened after you escaped to Chenggu County."
Chen Bing swallowed his saliva and felt a little relieved when he heard that Qi Lie did not directly listen to Shu Yu's words and sentenced him. He thought that Chen Qiu must have had an effect, otherwise he would not be allowed to defend himself here. ?
So he calmed down and began to talk about what happened back then, "More than thirty years ago, Fang Caixia and I were indeed husband and wife... After we came to Chenggu County, I rescued a rich lady..."
"Sir." Shu Yu interrupted him, "Chen Bing's mouth is full of untruths. He lied from the beginning. Does he still have credibility later?"
"Oh, how did he lie?"
Shu Yu told Chen Bing that he was afraid of water. Qi Lie looked thoughtful and said, "In that case, let's prove whether he can really swim. Someone, bring a bucket of water and let him He tries."
Chen Bing's expression changed greatly, and Shu Yu smiled. Look, some things are destined to be continued even if they are interrupted.
The officer quickly came in with a bucket of water expressionlessly, threw it in front of Chen Bing with a clang, and shouted, "Hold your breath."
Chen Bing looked at the water sloshing in front of him. It was only a small bucket, and it was no different from when he usually took a shower or washed his face. But now he felt as if there was a giant python eating people in the water. He didn't dare to do it at all. near.
"No, don't." He shook his head desperately.
Qi Lie frowned and told the official, "Suppress him."
The officer responded, and without saying a word, he pressed down on Qi Lie's neck and tried to immerse him in the bucket.
Chen Bing was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Seeing that his nose was getting closer and closer to the water, he couldn't stand it anymore. He shook his hands and said loudly, "Sir, please forgive me. I am afraid of water. I am not the one who saved that girl. It was Fang Caixia." Saved."
As soon as these words came out, the people watching said "Wow".
It was one thing to guess that Chen Bing was lying before, but it is another thing to actually hear him admit it now.
