Woman A from the next street said, "Oh, I never thought that the kind-hearted Mr. Jia would be killed by this beastly son. He really raised an ungrateful person."
The widow next door said, "Really? I didn't expect that Jia Zhuang was such a beast in human form and actually killed his father."
The old man next door said, "What an unfilial son! What misfortune for the family! The Jia family actually produced such a beast."
The county magistrate slammed the table and said, "Silence, silence, no talking in the hall." Instantly the people shut up and stopped talking. If words could kill, Jia Zhuang would have been killed by these villagers with every word they said. No matter what the county magistrate asked, Jia Zhuang answered truthfully.
The county magistrate asked, "Tell me all the crimes you have committed. Don't leave anything out." Jia Zhuang said regretfully, "Not long ago, my brother got my account book from somewhere. I didn't want my false accounting to be exposed, so I wanted to kill him to silence him. I took out a dagger and planned to assassinate my brother. Unexpectedly, my father had already noticed this and quietly sent my brother out and stayed in his room. My father advised me not to do anything stupid, and during the argument I accidentally killed my father. I was very scared at the time and left in a hurry." After that, he just waited silently for the verdict.
The county magistrate standing by was also furious. How could this man be so cruel and merciless that he could do such a cruel thing to his own father? So he said, "Master, announce the verdict."
The lawyer took out the complaint and read aloud: "All the above are true. The prisoner Jia Zhuang murdered his father and is sentenced to be beheaded in public at 3:30 pm three days later. The civilian Jia Qiang is innocent and released on the spot."
There was a cheer from the audience, “Good, good.”
"The county magistrate is wise."
"Jia Zhuang deserves to die."...

The magistrate said, "Adjourn the court."
"Awesome!" After the verdict was read out, Jia Zhuang collapsed on the ground, his face showing reluctance, sadness and regret. Yes, regret. He killed his own father. Just think about how much his father loved him, and then he was still dragged back to jail by the yamen runners.
In the back hall, the county magistrate said to Chen Yan and Lu Wan: "Thank you for your help. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused before." Lu Wan said: "It's okay. Now the truth is out and I am innocent. I just feel sorry for Madam Jia. She has lost her husband and son. I hope that Madam Jia can serve you well and reduce her sorrow."
The county magistrate said, "You two don't have to worry too much about this. Jia Qiang is a filial son and will certainly take good care of his mother. Now he only has this one relative left, so naturally he should take extra care of her." Shen Yan said, "Your Excellency the county magistrate is right. We are worrying too much."
