"Yes, yes, yes."
Master Long suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly nodding repeatedly, and looked at the four guards, angered: "You four grown men bullying a woman in broad daylight, it's simply outrageous!"
"Master, this is a misunderstanding!"
The four trembled in fear, hastily knelt on the ground and said.
"Misunderstanding?"
"Do you think I don't know what's on your minds?"
"The City Lord sent you here to guard the city gates and maintain order, not for you to abuse your authority, intimidate and dominate!"
Master Long roared furiously.
"We were wrong."
"Spare us, Master!"
The four knocked their heads repeatedly, utterly terrified.
"I wanted to spare you, but with so many people watching, if I do, won't they accuse me of favoritism and bending the law?"
"Don't blame me, you brought this upon yourselves."
Master Long shook his head and sighed, and shouted: "Men, execute them on the spot for me!"
"Yes!"
