:11:01
These others are innocent.
Let them go...
:11:03
I'm the only one who deserves
to be punished.
:11:05
Yes, yes, you will be.
The Emperor will now pronounce...
:11:08
And one more thing
:11:09
There's one other person here
:11:10
who deserves to be sentenced:
Master Shu
:11:14
Who ruthlessly took Author Wu's chi
:11:16
That is a lie! First, they violate
Heaven's will
:11:21
then they hurl false accusations
at the righteous!
:11:24
The human speaks the truth,
Your Majesty.
:11:27
I swear it on my holy vows
:11:29
I watched the whole thing
from the clouds!
:11:30
Yeah, they're all in it together!
:11:31
He's guilty!
:11:32
Shu is guilty!
:11:35
Silence! Your Majesty
:11:41
Author Wu was wounded accidentally
in the heat of battle.
:11:44
I could have saved his chi
:11:46
but these criminals kidnapped
him from me.
:11:49
Then this one...threw me over the wall
:11:55
Confucius says, it's payback time
:12:00
The death of Author Wu
is a terrible tragedy.
:12:04
In the absence of more
conclusive evidence
:12:07
I must accept the word
of my Prime Minister.
:12:09
Therefore, we have no choice
:12:12
but to impose the harshest possible
sentence upon the rebels.
:12:17
What is that?
:12:22
Wait! This is the pen of Author Wu!
:12:25
Emperor, there's no reason to
get excited over a flying pen!
:12:30
The chi of a departed author is likely
:12:32
to reside most powerfully in exactly
one place...his pen.
:12:37
Most High Emperor, please forgive this
unorthodox testimony.
:12:42
But I hope you understand that one
who no longer exists
:12:47
has very limited options
:12:50
Scholar from above speaks the truth.
:12:53
It was Shu who murdered me.
:12:56
After holding me prisoner against
my will for five hundred years!
