The scripture-gathering team left the Kou Mansion and continued on the road. They had no idea about the bloody events that happened in the Kou Mansion, and they did not expect the disaster that was about to happen next!
After counting the gold and silver treasures robbed from the Kou Mansion, the gods of the Lei Department put them into bags, cast spells on themselves and transformed themselves into people in the Kou Mansion, and then chased away in the direction where the scripture collection team left.
"Holy Monk, Holy Monk, please slow down and wait for us!"
"Wukong, can you hear who is calling us?"
Xuanzang was stunned and asked Sun Wukong on the side.
"Master, he seems to be from the Kou Mansion."
Sun Wukong replied in confusion, seeing everyone in the Kou Mansion rushing over.
"Kou Mansion? What are they here for? Is there anything else?"
Xuanzang also looked puzzled, wondering why the people from the Kou Mansion kept chasing him here.
"Since I have accepted the favor from the Kou Mansion, I will wait for them here. Maybe we can discuss something."
The Buddhist scripture collection team was not in a hurry at this moment, and stopped and waited on the spot.
"Holy Monk, Holy Monk, don't leave yet. My father ordered us to bring you some money and continue on the road."
Kou Da directed his servants to move several boxes of jewelry, gold and silver to the team in front of the scripture collection team, then he cupped his hands and said:
"Please, Holy Monk, please accept these so that you can go on your way!"
"This...is not good!"
Xuanzang looked at the large and small boxes of jewelry, gold and silver with a troubled expression. Master Kou might have emptied the entire Kou mansion and gave all these gold, silver and jewelry to their Buddhist scripture collection team!
He had been eating and drinking in the Kou Mansion for several days, and now he had to accept these treasures of gold and silver, which made Xuanzang feel ashamed.
"Holy monk, don't be polite, you must accept these!"
When Kou Da saw that Xuanzang was unwilling to accept it, he showed a very anxious look and pushed several boxes of treasures in front of the Buddhist team.
"Master, they are all so enthusiastic. It would be bad if we don't accept them."
Zhu Bajie's eyes were shining. If he could bring all the treasures of gold and silver with him, the rest of his life would be very comfortable for the master and his disciples.
"Wu Jing! How can a monk be so greedy!"
Xuanzang reprimanded him with a cold face. Zhu Bajie grumbled and stopped talking, but his eyes never left the treasure chests.
"Holy monk, if you don't accept it, we won't be able to explain it to our father when we go back, and we have to take it back to the Kou Mansion with difficulty. It's really inconvenient!"
Kou Da pushed the treasure box in front of Xuanzang and said sincerely.
"Hey, hey! Mr. Kou is such a kind man. If this is the case, then we will reluctantly accept it. We will never forget you in the future!"
Xuanzang looked extremely reluctant, and after several evasions with Kou Da, he finally accepted these boxes of gold and silver treasures.
After seeing that the scripture collection team had collected the gold and silver treasures, the gods of the Thunder Department, who had transformed into everyone in the Kou Mansion, breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, they immediately left the place and disappeared very quickly.
Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie had already begun to count the jewelry in the box. After realizing that it was an astonishing number, they showed a very bright smile!
"Master Kou forced these on to us, and our master and disciples reluctantly accepted them!"
Although Xuanzang didn't know why Mr. Kou was so enthusiastic about their master and disciples, since it was hard to refuse such kindness, he happily accepted it!
"Yes, yes, Master, we are going to send it out!"
When Zhu Bajie looked at the treasures all over the floor, he wanted to pounce on them and have close contact with these treasures. If he divided his luggage in the future, these treasures would be enough for him to squander for a long time!
"Let's go, take these precious gifts with you!"
Xuanzang waved his hand and directed Sun Wukong and others to load the treasures, gold and silver onto the camel, and prepare to continue on the road.
"They are ahead, hurry up, don't let them run away, catch them!"
Just as the team was preparing to continue on their way, there was another noisy sound behind them, as well as heavy and chaotic footsteps.
"Master? Is it possible that these people still want to see us off? We are too popular here!"
Zhu Bajie chuckled and said.
"The person who comes here is not evil, please protect Master!"
Sun Wukong sensed that the pursuing government servants were murderous and did not seem to be easy to get along with, so he directly protected Xuanzang behind him.
"Dong dong dong!"
Soon, a group of government officials surrounded the Buddhist scripture collection team. The leader of the government officials took out a portrait and compared it with the Buddhist scripture collection team, and confirmed that the Buddhist scripture collection team was the person they were looking for!
"Sir, it's just them!"
"How many of your masters and disciples are the monks who stayed at Kou Mansion before?"
The leading catcher asked coldly.
"Yes, what happened to us masters and disciples? What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Bajie replied arrogantly with his hands on his hips.
"Okay, catch them, don't let any of them get away!"
After the arrester gave the order, all the government officials began to arrest the Buddhist scriptures team.
"You, what are you going to do? Why do you arrest people so casually!"
Before the Buddhist scriptures team could react, they were all arrested. Zhu Bajie asked inexplicably, not knowing what they had committed.
"Arrest random people? Humph!"
The catcher snorted coldly, and then continued:
"You masters and disciples stayed at the Kou Mansion. Before you left, you knew that there was a lot of treasure in the Kou Mansion, so you became greedy for money. You teamed up with robbers to rob the Kou Mansion and beat Master Kou to death. What do you have to say? of!"
"What! Master Kou is dead?!"
The scripture-seeking team looked shocked after learning the news. Mr. Kou was kind-hearted and treated them very thoughtfully. Naturally, they couldn't believe it when they heard the news.
"Your acting skills are pretty good, but someone has already confirmed that it was your master and apprentice who did it!"
The catcher shook his head and continued.
"Sir, these boxes contain the Kou Mansion's treasures, and they also contain the Kou Mansion's logo!"
The government officials dug out all the treasures, gold and silver that the scripture collection team had just packed up, and immediately reported it to the Touhui.
"It's not us, these were given to our masters and disciples by people from the Kou Mansion!"
Zhu Bajie's expression changed. What he didn't understand was that their master and disciples actually became robbers and were responsible for a murder case!
"You still want to quibble now. With all the witnesses and material evidence, why do you still want to keep talking? Take them back to the Yamen for trial!"
The arrest was immediately ordered, and a group of government officials immediately dragged the team back.
"Master, what should we do? We have indeed received gifts. How could this happen?"
Zhu Bajie didn't dare to take action against this group of mortals, and asked Xuanzang in confusion.
"Don't worry about this for now. Go back with them and see what's going on!"
Xuanzang said with a calm face and followed the yamen servant back obediently.
