I'm looking for a ballad or fairy tale (something besides the story of Mordachai in the book of Esther) in which this basic archetype is followed:

Evil character A does something evil (event 1).

Innocent person B is accused.

Wise person C asks evil person A what should be done to someone who does event 1.

Evil person A makes up some gruesome punishment.

Wise person C has gruesome punishment carried out on evil person A who actually commited event 1.

Thanks for any help!
