Some people voluntarily beat drums and gongs, loudly proclaiming that someone had eliminated a scourge for the common folk, while others set off firecrackers. Those working the fields or engaged in commerce all put down their work to witness the bandits being captured and brought down from the mountain!
They wanted to see with their own eyes the bandits being executed by gunfire, but for those families who had been harmed by the bandits, they knelt on the ground weeping and kowtowed to the heavens: "Heavens above, Buddha Ancestor, you have finally opened your eyes, send these people to the 18 Levels of Hell, so they may never be reborn, for they are truly despicable!"
When the Advisor and the Government Officials were escorting the bandits down the mountain, the bandits kept begging for mercy. Their hands and feet were bound, and they incessantly spoke, even threatening the governmental authorities!
