Wu Dehai became anxious when he heard this. Seeing the Prefect, Zhou Kai's, suspicious look, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you must discern the truth. My son, Wu Shiqing, is known for his kind nature throughout Zigui County. Now he is afflicted by evil forces, bedridden with a serious illness. How could he do such a thing?"
"This person is clearly slandering, slandering indeed!"
"It's you who's talking nonsense!"
Yuan Feng, the lecturer, also desperately spoke up, kneeling and bowing to the court, "My lord, please see clearly. My brother has been addicted to gambling, borrowing silver from the Chaoshancai Society, and was constantly harassed by a group of rogues until he almost hanged himself."
