Rope find out killer

Once upon a time, a man named Phong was wealthy. He owned 10 merchant ships which brought goods to every where in the country. Each merchant ship was managed by an underling who Phong trusted.
Ninh was one of the underlings. He was cleaver and worked hard. Therefore, he was the person Phong trusted most. But, Ninh and Phong’s wife had loved the other in long time and course, Phong had not known. Then, they thought about living with the other.
One day, merchant ships were going to set off and they used to come to the shrine (which worshiped whale, a guardian god who protect ships on sea) and made a ceremony to pray for protection. After the ceremony finished, Phong came back home while his underlings and sailors were enjoying the feast. He went alone.

Ninh realized that was his chance. He found the shortcut way and waited his master in bush. When his master went cross, he jumped out and killed his master. Then, he immediately made his way went to the feast. He went on his merchant ship on time. They set off and nobody knew that their master had died but Ninh.
The case was discovered but the district mandarin received the case had to waited for merchant ships to come back. The mandarin considered things many days but he didn’t get any signal to find the killer. The case was brought to province mandarin but province mandarin was also confused as he received the case. Days had passed but they couldn’t find the killer. At last, a underling went to province mandarin and gave him an idea.
The next morning, province mandarin ordered all underlings and sailors to go to the shrine. He held a ceremony and ordered them to stay in the shrine entire night. At midnight, the mandarin   called people came and said:
“The god here is powerful. He has seen the killer at the day Phong was killed. I have pray him for his help and he has agreed”, he looked around and continued saying, “Now, all of you have to keep those small thin ropes by your moth and keep your eyes look at altar”, he stopped a while, “The god said…he will make the rope be longer as it is in killer’s mouth (course, ropes will be longer as they are wet)”.    
All people sat in the shrine kept the ropes in your mouth silently till morning. Soldier got ropes from people and started to measure. We found out a rope which differed with other. It was shorter than others. And, the rope belonged to Ninh. Ninh scared that his rope would be longer so the had cut it but he didn’t know the action had helped the mandarin find out him. The mandarin notified that he had found out the killer and the killer was Ninh. When his name was called, Ninh trusted more about god’s help. He admitted his guilty. He and the bad wife had what they deserved after that.
