"It was so simple that our main indicator was one word. Bandits," Suzo paused to let the words sink in. "That's right, we use bandits to find possible threats. The simple truth behind bandits are that they're imbeciles. They're cocky, stupid, disorganized, sniveling cowards, and most of all, they are pathetically weak. Most of them are stronger than the average citizen, but they can be easily taken out by anyone or any group of people that have enough training. A sudden unexpected drop in a bandit population usually indicated some sort of abnormal activity, after all bandits don't just disappear. These abnormalities were dealt with by my comrades and I with the full force of our personal companies." Suzo noticed that Takaya was getting impatient.
"I'll get to my point. The fact is that this system is still used to this date. Not to mention that we're dealing with a very paranoid government who jumps at its own shadow." Suzo sighed deeply. "We probably won't be doing business in Kyoto for while now, after all we will be seeing an increased military presence there. I don't blame you for not being able to control Takeshi just remember to be a bit more careful next time." Suzo stood up and pushed in his chair and dropped a few coins onto the table for the tea. "I'll be heading back to the inn, just make sure you and Takeshi are there before sundown." Suzo walked out the teahouse and headed back to the inn to prepare for the feast for tonight.
