In the meantime, the guards have gone back to the palace, and Cai Mingyu tells his father that he thinks the guards are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountains and attack in the east. He tells him that he is smart enough to know that the tiger would not wear night clothes in broad daylight and that the three-legged martial arts are no match for hiss. He also tells him to shake his mother's hand before she is buried so that they can talk about the martial arts. He says that if he gives him the secrets, he will bury his mother in style so that he can go after all of this. He then says that the king is coming to pick up his daughter, and that if the king takes her away, the daughter will never return. He adds that he has set up separate houses for both of them in his house, and he is going to pick them up today. He is sure that the emperor will be pleased to see that he and his daughter are on good terms. The man selling the incense to Aunt Mei is the same man who sold plum incense to Ziqiao, and the physical evidence proves that aunt mei deserves to be killed. He warns that if they spread the word, the entire city will know that they are heartless bastards who kill concubines and kill wives.
