How the man manages to escape from the kingdom ?

Once there lived a king who did not allow anybody to leave the kingdom and any foreigners to enter in his kingdom. There was only one bridge that connected his kingdom with the outer world. A guard who was a sharpshooter was specially assigned for guarding the bridge. According to the orders, anyone moving outside should be killed and anyone coming to his kingdom should be sent back. To take rest, the guard used to sit inside his hut for 5 minutes and return back on the post. The bridge took a minimum of 9 minutes to pass.

Even then, a man was able to escape the kingdom without any kind of harm from the guard.

What should he do to prove that he is innocent?

An innocent person is accused of a murder in a village. The head of the village knows that the man is innocent but he also knows that the truth may be uncovered one day that his own son is the murderer. Just to hinder the attention of people, he offers a chance to the man. In a jar, he places two chits of paper – one reads innocent and the other reads guilty. Among all the other villagers, he asks the accused person to pick up a chit. He says that their almighty god is watching them and the person will meet his fate truthfully with the chit.

Of course, the village head is cheating. He has put both chits with Guilty written on them. The accused person somehow suspects the same. But no one will believe him if he tries to expose the head. Also, he knows no one will look at the other chit once his fate is decided by his selected chit.
