Before leaving, he asked: "Your Majesty, if one person told you there was a tiger prowling the market, would you believe them?" The king shook his head. "Two people?" The king looked unsure. "Three people, all saying the same?" The king nodded: "Then I would believe it." Pang Cong sighed — everyone knew there couldn't actually be a tiger at the market.
