Lin Ch'ung screamed and pulled his feet out,but they were already red and swollen. Hsueh Pa said grimly, "I have seen many criminals serving their guards but have never seen a guard serving a criminal.I have just kindly asked you to wash your feet,yet you fuss about the temperature." He continued to torment Lin Ch'ung for almost half the night.Lin Ch'ung didn't dare protest,and finally Hsueh allowed him to go to bed.
