: Required Answer

$\longrightarrow$ The real culprit according to the king was the merchant himself. Although merchant’s father was the one to be blamed, the person to be held punishable was the merchant as the merchant’s father was already dead and someone had to be punished for the crime.

He escapes punishment because he was too thin to be executed on the stake.
