Trama

The Marquis threatens Zang Hai with death on his way to the Scholar's Hall. Upon arrival, Zang Hai humbly accepts his fate. Moved, the Marquis forgives him and makes him his assistant, thus gaining a privileged position in the Capital.

The Marquis takes Zang Hai back to the Scholar Hall, but on the way back, he tells Zang Hai that he will be killed as soon as they arrive. Zang Hai speaks to him at length but the Marquis still pull a sword on him when they arrive and asks if he had any last words. Zang Hai replies, "My life is in your hands." The Marquis drops the sword and asks Mr. Qu to send for a doctor to heal Zang Hai's wounds. He becomes the Marquis's aide and moves into the Marquis's home. With his new status, many people in the Capital are trying to gain his favor.
