Let the Bullets Fly Page #3

Noodle vendor!

How many bowls did he eat?

Everyone in this teahouse,

will bear witness on your behalf.

Speak up! How many?

Two bowls.

You're nasty!

But I dare you to match me!

Take a good look!

If there are two bowls of jelly in me,

I'll die!

If there's only one,

I'll die.

If he has two bowls in him, I'll die with him!

Where's the jelly?

Deeper! I can't see.

Very gutsy, sir!

Try sliding the blade sideway,

so that we can all see.

Show us if there is one or two bowls.

Out with it!

Here's a bowl, sir.

See! Can you see?

One bowl!

There's only one bowl, right?

Hang in there! I'll get a doctor!

There's only one bowl, right?

There's only one bowl, right?

Your turn!

I knew it all along.

You fell for it.

You mustn't kill him! No, I won't!

Tell me why I should spare him,

or I'll shoot you, too.

Don't let Six die in vain!

I didn't do it. He stabbed himself.

We'd a wager.

He lost.

Let me blast his head off!

You wouldn't dare! You can't do it.

Huang is provoking you.

He wants you to lose your head.

We'll lose if we kill him now.

Let him go.

You must destroy Huang's soul!

- Pop, he's right. - Let him go!

He stabbed himself? What about the jelly?

Yes

and no...

Tell me if it was still jelly.

Yes, it was.

Come over here.

And...

is he dead?

Yes.

Did you implicate me?

I did invoke your name.

Were they scared?

They said to kill, a person's soul

must first be destroyed.

Murder? Soul destruction?

How awful.

Brother, I vow to avenge you!

Brother, I swear I'll avenge you!

Brother, I vow to avenge you!

Two is drunk. I am pledging for him.

He will avenge your death, too.

Brother, I swear to avenge you!

Two is sober, he's just pissed off!

Chief doesn't want to risk our lives.

Are we boy scouts or what?

Chief should have ignored Tang.

He is a good-for-nothing!

Huang kills without lifting a finger!

We must retaliate by destroying his soul.

We can't jeopardise our chance to get rich!

Six...

I do not care about being rich.

But I must come up with a game plan

to rid of Huang once and for all

Give me time,

Pop will avenge your death.

Show your respect!

Have a safe journey, Six.

Safe travel, Six!

How should I play my hand?

Banquet, kill him or throw him to the dogs?

I'd Say kill him!

No!

No?

Host a banquet!

Dinner invitation! it's a death trap!

Our ploy is working!

I have another idea: delay tactics.

The longer we drag this on the better!

Huang will end up kneeling here.

What kind of banquet is this?

It's just a meeting between two thugs!

It's like MacBeth hosting Banquo.

What'd become of Banquo the guest?

His son became king.

And MacBeth the host?

So we should go.

We can also sound out Huang,

and see if we can work together.

"Bring the guns."

"Dress up as Huang's militia and follow me."

Got it!

"Kill Huang and avenge Six!"

Understood!

You see Six's death as a shortcut to bonanza?

Perhaps your severed head can make us more.

What do you mean?

Let's go and meet your new pal.

Attention!

Governor, counselor! Welcome!

Master's citadel dominates Goose Town.

It is simply impregnable.

An intrepid governor, an erudite counselor.

What a dream team!

Master Six has died heroically.

I've invited you here today

to witness how justice is done.

If I'm proven to be the instigator,

I will follow Master Six's footstep,

and disembowel myself!

I invite you to be my second,

to ritualistically cut my head off

and hang it from the restaurant.

If I'm proven innocent,

those who slandered me

and shamed you in the process...

will have to kill themselves.

It's me against these three.

I am ready.

You should use this for disembowelment.

The full blade is for your second.

Really?

It's great to have an expert as my second!

This way, please.

I bought this governorship.

Sole purpose is to get rich.

But I don't take from the poor.

Then who are you targeting?

Only the wealthy people.

Who are the wealthy?

Such as you.

Whatever you fancy, help yourself.

I'm no bandit. I'm a governor.

I make my fortune the proper way.

Well said!

Goose Town has two big families.

They sell people to America to build railroads,

in return for dollars!

What do you mean by dolls?

No, d-o-I-I-a-r-s! American money.

Dollar! You know?

Oh, dollars!

I can smell it in your presence!

- Let's drink to that! - Great, cheers!

Cheers!

Master Huang is so modest.

It is an open secret that,

in Goose Town,

Master Huang is our real boss!

It is hard to be a boss.

Hundreds of people everyday

waiting to be fed.

There is little left for me.

If you're looking to make a fast buck,

I know exactly what to do.

Please tell.

Pocky Zhang!

One of them just died!

Pocky Zhang?

Yes, Pocky Zhang!

What has he got to do with us?

Or with our money?

Everything!

Is he here in Goose Town?

Well, yes...

and no!

Master Huang speaks in riddles!

Where is he, then?

Let Master Huang enlightens us.

He has grabbed Goose Town by its balls!

- Know what I mean? - No

Know what I do for a living?

No.

Half the opium smokers in this nation

rely on Master Huang for their supply!

No, I'm only a pawn for General Li...

I'm just one of his runners!

How many runners does Liu have?

Three.

And Master is the most able one!

Yes, the strongest one!

But this runner,

is now crippled!

Crippled?

What happened?

Zhang has seized nearly all my goods.

Imagine what he can make from them.

He must be very well off!

I wonder if this is true.

You can write your own cheque,

if you can take him out!

We wouldn't dare to!

But if this can make us rich,

I wouldn't mind having a go!

Then blame yourself for your timidity!

But I would be happy to assist.

I can put up money as a bait.

The families have to match my contribution.

We're hoping you'd say that.

How about $800,000'?

No! I'll put up $1.8 million!

The more the merrier!

Yes, we'll pay you back $1.8 million,

and split the dollars from the others.

There's no need to pay him back!

We'll hit these bandits hard!

Whatever they seized in the past,

we will retrieve for the Master.

Look at the bigger picture,

the $1.8 million bounty is but a strand of hair.

Surely you won't mind!

We'll get rid of Pocky Zhang!

Cool!

- Cool enough? - Very cool!

We can discuss that later.

The only thing I want to do now

is to fix Master's crippled leg.

Pocky Zhang's such a nuisance.

He shouldn't have messed with Master Huang!

Let's top up.

I believe in taking our time,

doing things step by step!

I don't want to break my balls

by over-stretching!

We should agree on the split first,

before thinking of how to fix his leg.

If you want to settle the split now,

then just carry on.

Counselor, you decide.

About the dollars,

let's do a customary 30-70 split.

How can you even say that?

Master Huang is so instrumental.

And you give him only 30%'?

Let's go 50-5O!

My apologies, Master Huang.

So inconsiderate!

Counselor,

I'll go along with that: 50-50.
