Bandits at the City Gates

Three bandits scared the county magistrate to death, then planned to throw on his official robes, make a quick score, and leave. But once they sat in the county yamen's impossibly heavy chair, they found they couldn't get back out. Beneath the plaque proclaiming that justice shines bright, the impostor magistrate finally understood: this act would either have to be performed until the whole world knew of it, or brought to an end in blood.
