The problem is that those people were right outside the door, shouting for the killing of corrupt officials and the distribution of grain, and they even carried logs to ram the door.
The thick door was slammed shut with a loud bang.
The door hinges were all wobbly and about to fall off.
The servants were worried that if they didn't take action quickly, the gates of the governor's mansion would really be broken down.
By then—
