The next morning, the gang arrives in the forest. They're hired to rob and kill the people of the family from the city of shangshan. They don't know what they're doing, but they've got a plan: they'll steal their goods and leave the family in the middle of the forest, where the bandits will be waiting to ambush them. When they get there, they find out that the bandits have overrun the forest and are running wild. The gang is worried that they won't be able to catch the bandits, since their goods are so expensive. They decide to leave the girl and give the bandits seven million silver taels.
