Five Deadly Venoms Page #3

Synopsis: A dying teacher instructs his final student to check on the activities of five former pupils, each of whom he taught a unique and special style of kung-fu: Centipede, Snake, Scorpion, Lizard, and Toad (hence the title). His final student, who knows a little of each style, must team up with one of the other good students to destroy the evil ones, if there are any. Greed and treachery ensue as the student discovers that some of the students are indeed evil, but which one can he trust enough to team up with?

Third brother

Fifth brother is coming

If it's not because of him

the eldest wouldn't be arrested

You want to shift the blame on him

Get rid of him

or I won't have a good sleep

Fifth brother practices the Toad style

It's not easy to get rid of him

We'll do it quietly

You arrange the trap

It seems that

uncle didn't get the treasure

It could be merely a rumor

We spent years of effort for nothing

What's the problem?

In this small town,

we're like kings

Master

What?

Mr. Wang is here

That quick?

Bring him in

Yes

Please

It's a pleasure to have you here,

Mr. Wang

Please sit

Please

The murderer in Yuan's case was arrested

I know

Here's a money order

for 5000 tales silver

This is a very big case

I can't make a decision

Don't worry. You'll lose your post

I would if I couldn't catch the murderer

You may find someone to be a scapegoat

Don't worry. This man is...

a well-known boxer

We're not looking for people

at random to do it

It's like you're doing my work

You're only looking for money

So don't take it too seriously

It doesn't matter who makes the decision

One more thing

You have to send Yuanxin He

somewhere else

I know

You may have Guang Lin to do it

Sir, what's the matter?

This is Mr. Hong

Yes. Mr. Hong

I need you to do something

Just listen to Mr. Hong's order

Yes

Mr. Hong

Are you letting me go?

I need to talk to Menfa

Only two of us

No problem

This is the easiest way

Right. Take your time

Menfa,

you're the prime witness of the case

You're the only one who saw the murderer

The murderer...

I told them and the murderer was arrested

Something is wrong. How did he look like?

He's a fierce man with a big beard

Not correct

He's a young man, about 20 years old

Strong and beardless

No. He has a big beard

Say it again

How did the murderer look like?

A man with a big beard

No, a young man of 20

And?

Strong and beardless

It's clear this time

Will you speak the same in court?

I understand

I'll say it clearly in court

Bring Yuanxin He

Sir

Sir

I need you to send an important letter

to the province city. You leave now

Sir, it's not my work

Do you refuse my order?

We must detain Tan carefully

I know he has companions outside

Enough. Stop it

The letter is very important

I need you to deliver it quickly

I'll make my way day and night

I'll come back very soon

Leave now

Yes

Bring me duty constable Ma and Lin

Yes

Bring constable Ma and Lin

The murderer still goes free

You guys evaded your responsibility and

arrested innocent people

to take the blame

The statement of Menfa...

Can we count on his statement?

He has revised his statement

He stated the murderer is a man of 20,

strong and beardless. He's now

in the wine house

on the south side of town

Arrest him now

He goes free and you'll be in big trouble

Where is he?

Where is Ma?

He's out to carry out the orders

Brother He, did Ma tell you?

Sh*t!

The lord asked me

to send a letter suddenly

I just want to tell Ma about it

Which case is Ma working on?

The case of Yuan

We've arrested Shanhui Tan already

It could be...

Menfa revised his statement suddenly,

saying the murderer wasn't Tan

...but a young man of 20

strong and beardless,

always hanging around

at the wine house

in the south side of town

Ma is going there with his guys

What?

Brother Ma

Did the murderer make a statement?

Not yet

But

What?

Tao Li, are you resisting the arrest?

Bullshit, what did I do?

According to Menfa's statement,

you're the suspect of Yuan's case

What rubbish!

I don't have time to mess with you

Yuanxin He

He's the prime suspect of the case

What are you doing?

I guarantee he is innocent

He helped me to arrest Tan

How could you be so stupid?

The court will judge if he's innocent

Your words carry no weight

You don't let me arrest him

That's a serious offence

Yinxin, you better think carefully

If Li has nothing to do with the case

it won't harm him to stand in the court

We won't give him a hard time too

I'm not going...

to see Tan and Men in court

Better make it clear

Then the lord can sentence Tan to jail

We can'tjust believe Menfa's testimony

You must go with us

Yes, it's right

No, Brother He

I didn't experience the dirty tricks

in the office, but I heard a lot

We're friends after all

What do you mean?

Go. I guarantee your safety

I'll see you here again

after the court session

You wait here for me

Okay. I'll go just for your sake

Please

It's a coincidence

The lord asked me...

to deliver an urgent letter

I need to go to the city now

Please take care of Li for me

He is a boxer

He doesn't obey rules of the office

Don't worry. You better go

It's a serious offence if you fail

I helped with the arrest of Tan

He's the prime suspect in Yuan's case

Did you arrest Tan at Yuan's house?

No

But...

Did someone see him

...walking from the Yuan residence?

Menfa

Present here

You must tell us honestly

who was walking out from Yuan's house

It's him

Bastard, what are you talking about?

How dare you yell in the court?

Menfa, speak up

I'll make the final decision

It's him

Bastard, who ordered you to say this?

Arrest him

Li, you should have respected the court

You tried to frame him with this trap

But I am no fool

Sir, calm him down first.

When he's locked up,

I've a good idea to finish him

Stop

Li, I know you're somebody

You won't be blamed for contempt of court

I just want to know

Did Menfa tell you

Tan walked out from Yuan's house?

You speak like a man

Menfa did tell Yuanxin He,

the chief constable of the county office

It's not difficult to prove

He's out of town on business

He'll be back in a few days

Detain all of the suspects

Wait till He's back

Yes

Li, please hold on for a few days

Everything will be fine when He's back

You'll bring trouble upon He

if you refuse

Okay, I will listen to you

Adjourn

Sir, the murderer

is from the House of Five Venoms

He's practicing the Toad Style

People practicing this style

will have a weak point on their body

You may swiftly

make a coat of thousand needles

You'll get the desired statement

What's the coat of thousand needles?

This is it

It's thousands of sharp needles

The body will be flooded by needles

No matter where his weak point is,

the needle may break it. When it's broken

all needles will stab into the body

According to the law, this punishment...

You want to catch the murderer

or obey the law?

Okay. I'll hurry up with the coat

Open it

Inside

Li, you suffered

I've brought over the meal for you

Please enjoy it

Brother Ma, what a friend you are!

He is my good friend

I take you as my good friend too

A civil servant...

is hard to be trusted

Li, I drink first to show my respect

Brother Ma...

Never mind. You've to be cautious

Li, please

Sorry I can't stay here long

It's okay

He's a good man

Serve him properly

Yes. Close the gate

The coat is being produced swiftly

lt'll be ready for
