A group of Censors are arguing with a palace attendant. From the conversation, it sounds like the emperor has been plundering his own treasury. The palace attendant reads out an imperial edict, saying that the treasury is ultimately here to sustain the people and the army through the war they are currently in.

The assassin interrupts, tossing the knot to the officials, saying to give it to the emperor because there's still at least one debt he has left to pay. They then push the wanderer to the ground while they make their escape.
