As they spoke, their eyes were fixated on the coachman, looking at him as if he were a pile of silver.
Generally speaking, the coachman was the lowest-ranking house servant in the mansion, so if even the coachman dressed this well, the mansion must be quite wealthy.
Moreover, there were no identifying flags on their carriage, so... based on experience, this must be a wealthy merchant family.
These thugs loved to rob merchants the most.
They might have silver, but they didn't have power, so when they suffered minor losses, they'd just swallow it and wouldn't dare provoke these local hooligans easily.
Of course, they weren't that greedy; just give a few dozen taels, and everyone would be fine.
If you don't, well, expect to face revenge.
Those merchants suffered in silence, but every time, they'd pay up, just to avoid disaster through yielding wealth.
Report to the authorities? What a joke, where would they find the energy for that?
