Various Laws ........................ (A practical scene.....)
The One Guilty Man
Wise King Weng asked to visit the palace prison. And he began listening to the prisoners' complaints.
'I'm innocent,' said a man accused of murder. 'I'm here simply because I wanted to give my wife a fright, but I accidentally killed her.'
'I was accused of taking a bribe,' said another, 'but all I did was accepting a gift.'
All the prisoners declared their innocence to King Weng, until one of them, a young man of only twenty or so, said: 'I'm guilty. I wounded my brother in a fight and I deserve to be punished. This place has made me reflect on the pain I caused.'
'Remove this criminal from the prison immediately!' cried King Weng. 'He'll end up corrupting all these entirely innocent men.'
