Dragon Inn Page #3

Let's go back to the inn.

Sir, Xiao is coming back.

Hide this away.

We must be careful what we say.

We're not from the Eastern Agency

but the Ministry of Justice.

Go and tell the others, hurry.

- Go and tell the guards.

- Yes, sir.

What a surprise.

- Back so soon, Xiao?

- I met Brother Wu outside.

This is the officer

from the Ministry of Justice.

- Wu Ming.

- Ah, the innkeeper Wu Ming.

Please excuse me if my staff

haven't served you well enough.

- No, everything's fine.

- Mr Wu...

I'm Mao Zong Xian. We have

ministry business to attend to here.

All we require is that you serve

our needs here, nothing more.

Until we finish our job,

nobody is allowed to leave here.

Do I make myself clear?

And no new guests staying

without our approval.

Yes, yes...

Stop!

What do you want?

Run!

Wait, Brother!

Let's follow them with stealth.

Let's go on to the inn.

- What is it?

- We want a room.

Open up!

Open the door!

Open up!

Open the door!

We have no vacant rooms, sorry.

Who's in charge?

- Me, sir.

- Why wouldn't you open the door?

Apologies, my men have no manners,

but we're full.

- Then we'll sleep on the floor!

- You can't do that...

Stop! There's no need for violence,

is there?

- So what?

- I'm asking you.

It's none of your business!

We'll do it the hard way.

Stop it, Big Brother!

We shall sleep here!

There's no need to sleep on the floor.

You may have my room.

- We couldn't possibly accept that.

- We must help each other.

- And who is that?

- A businessman.

Let's all eat now!

Eat well, everyone.

So tell us... why are you

in this desert region?

We're heading for Guangzhou,

to meet some relatives.

And what is your business here?

The Ministry of Justice sent us

to apprehend two escaped criminals.

Sounds like a hard job.

To your health!

Have you seen a group

escorting convicts?

A man, a woman and a child?

We've seen a few escorts.

Maybe you know their names

and destination?

Their surname is Xiang,

they're distant relatives of ours.

Never heard the name.

Have you?

Never heard of them.

Cheers!

This wine's not very good.

See if you can get something better.

The wine is poisoned.

Please excuse me

for my behaviour before.

Allow me to propose a toast to you.

Fine, let's just forget what happened.

Cheers!

Thank you.

WINE IS POISONED

- More hot wine?

- Thank you.

So, to our health.

Cheers!

- Careful!

- You've had enough to drink.

- Who, me?

- Brother, you're drunk.

Don't worry about spilling the wine.

I have a fresh flask.

To your health!

- What the...?

- You ought to stop drinking.

Eat something,

or else you'll starve to death.

I won't starve!

Mother told me to look after you,
