I had been to the Eastern Altar before. I had been to the market to sell silk stolen by me. I went there 2 or 3 times a year.

I used to put the booty in other people's farm houses. I could not put it in my brother's house or he would have known it. I have been in the habit of going to the market occasionally for the last few years.

I have acquaintances in Yungkikong. I do not know any of the Justices there. I have never saw them before coming to Hongkong.

I did not see anyone fighting after leasing the houses myself. I went to the Ching ancestral temple on the 2nd day of the 5th moon because the prisoner came to tell me that the Sto family was to be robbed, and the temple was the rendezvous.

The prisoner said to me, "This is the Ching ancestral temple, I was born and brought up here." I do not know when the prisoner first came to Hongkong. She told me he came to Hongkong to hide himself there. She said to me, "You always remain at home. If I didn't go out to rob, I stayed with my brother." The work I did was my brother's work.

I am free in Hongkong.
