The next morning, the men discuss the plan to build a new palace in order to support the shrine and the royal family. When they ask if there is someone else left, the King says that he remembers that they decided that there was no need for such a palace. The men beg the King to understand that they need the palace for the sake of the family and the shrine. When the King realizes that they have no money to build the palace, they ask him to do what the King wants. The King is shocked and asks if they are all "scams" and if they have conspired against him behind his back. They all laugh and smile at each other, and the King tells them that he will help them quit gambling if they can pay back the money they owe him. When he hears that people are coming from Hanyang soon, he trembles and says that they will be coming from a man of high stature. He tells the men that they can meet with a guide there, and they go to sleep.
