The bandit leader, who had just been smashed on the head with a heavy hammer, felt dizzy and disoriented.
Another Jinyi Guard spoke up. "You've got a heavy hand, you know. These guys are our bounty. If you kill him, we won't get any money."
The Jinyi Guard who had wielded the heavy hammer retorted, "We're stuck here on a stakeout while most of our brothers are in the Imperial Capital. They get to collect plenty of rewards just by walking patrols."
"That's true," the other Jinyi Guard said. Mulling it over, he agreed it really wasn't fair. He turned and delivered a resounding slap across the bandit leader's face.
"You..."
The resentful Jinyi Guards could only take their frustration out on this gang of bandits.
The bandit leader protested, "You... you people! This is excessive force!"
"Well, well. A tough-guy bandit knows a big phrase like 'excessive force'? In a minute, we'll show you what 'excessive' really is!"
