In this short scene, the gang is introduced. The gang is made up of two peasants, a hansung and a yungsung. The hansung explains that they are gambling with stolen goods from the house of the late civil servant jung. He tells them that the pearl that they claim to have gotten as a wage from the dead man is actually a pearl that was stolen from the civil servant's house. He also tells the gang that the man they think is the murderer is none other than the fourth-grade official and the scholar of the big-sought-after scholar official. He is also a good friend of the dead civil servant.
