"Steward, our request isn't unreasonable, is it? You took our Silver, but when the River Bandits came, if it weren't for the brave young man on board, we would all be dead by now! I'm not asking for much, just return the Silver we originally paid and give each of us ten taels of Silver as compensation. Isn't that reasonable?"
One of the passengers shouted; he only wanted ten taels of Silver, whereas originally, during the commotion, it was said to be twenty taels!
"Oh dear! My good sir, you saw it too. Several people on our boat died this time. We still need to compensate the families of those two passengers. We even lost four crew members. They too have families to support, and we need to compensate them. Plus, the damage to the ship was so extensive; selling it wouldn't cover the costs!"
