Chapter Type: Social

There was no time spent imprisoned; we were shown directly to the tribune. "I am Fa Long, and this here," he indicated a golden furred monkey in a cage, "is a Golden Monkey." <1 >

"We are saved." the mother said, "Golden Monkeys can sense the truth, and are upset by lies."

"Indeed." Fa Long said, "This shall ensure that you are granted a fair trial."

The monkey began screeching at him, and Fa Long laughed at us.

Damn it...

There were eight or so guards, and no reason to suspect any of them would join our side if violence broke out.

"Us?" said the woman's husband. "What of the true criminal, the butcher who would have chopped us up for meat? Does he work for you?"

"Fool!" the tribune spat back. "Behold the head on that platter there."

We beheld. The butcher had been brought to justice, quickly and efficiently.
