 A notice is read by the townsfolk from the Shogun's deputies informing them that Ishun has been found guilty of deceiving the authorities by failing to inform them of Osan's misdeeds and only reporting about Mohei's forgery, which is seen as unforgivable.As punishment for his failure in reporting the affair, Ishun is banished from town with his property and wealth being seized by the deputies.While the servants are packing to search for new employment, they talk about Sukeyemon also being banished as well for his failures in not only keeping a better eye on the property, but also not reporting Ishun's negligence in his refusal to report about the affair.
