Some treasonous minister took the imperial seal to a prince and said that to refuse what Heaven bestowed was to invite its punishment.
Some bandit said to his chief, look at that young woman across the street, as beautiful as a flower.

Liu Ci looked at him and said, "If the Zhongzhou Sect learns of this, you'll die."
