"Zou Hai, your crimes of hiring people to kidnap and cause death, trafficking in household registration, and deceiving women of good families into marriage are extremely vile and heinous. You will be punished for all your crimes concurrently and sentenced to be cut at the waist, execution date to be determined!"
After making the pronouncement, County Magistrate Xu struck the gavel, signifying Zou Hai's conviction.
In fact, Zou Hai's crimes are not limited to these few; he also conspired with County Magistrate Zou in many illicit deeds, at least half of which involved life-and-death legal disputes. However, due to a lack of evidence, the county government could only let those deeds slide, sentencing Zou Hai based on the confirmed charges.
