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!
:13:01
But the record shows that
Wu previously testified...
:13:04
That testimony was made under duress
:13:07
I refute it!
:13:09
These noble and virtuous pilgrims
:13:12
finally opened my eyes
to the value of my book,
:13:15
which I beg you now to preserve,
in the world above.
:13:22
I defer to the Emperor's great
wisdom and mercy...
:13:27
Wu Cheng-En
:13:35
Your Majesty, we must protest!
:13:38
You can't possible rely on the
testimony of a pen...
:13:41
I mean, only an idiot...
Excuse me?
:13:45
On the other hand, Confucius says,
"Never argue with an Emperor".
:13:51
Well, then Prime Minister...
how did Author Wu die?
:13:58
There was so much commotion...
