The Buddhist scripture collection team was escorted back to Tongtai Mansion by the government officials with a heavy heart. They felt very surprised and regretful about Master Kou's death.
Such a well-known good man unexpectedly met a tragic end!
"Wukong, what do you think about this?"
Xuanzang changed his previous irregularity and asked Sun Wukong beside him in a deep voice.
"Master, we have been plotted!"
Sun Wukong glanced at the surrounding government servants and police officers and said.
If nothing unexpected happened, the key point in the conspiracy against their masters and disciples was the boxes of gold and silver jewelry carried by the government officials. It was these boxes of gold and silver jewelry that became crucial evidence for their team of Buddhist monks.
But these boxes of jewelry were given as gifts by people from the Kou Mansion. How come they were taken by robbers and charged with robbing the Kou Mansion and killing Mr. Kou?
"Wukong, do you know who is plotting against us?"
Xuanzang also sensed that his master and his disciples had fallen into a trap, but it was not clear who was plotting against them.
"I can't be sure now, but I believe that after returning to Kou's house, I will be able to find out who did it."
Sun Wukong continued, his expression a little more calculating.
Xuanzang, who also already had the answer in his mind, nodded and stopped discussing the matter.
If you want to know the truth, you must return to the Kou Mansion. In this way, you will be able to know who is plotting against their master and disciples.
"These officials, have you arrested the wrong person? Our masters and disciples have never thought of doing anything bad. How could we kill the bandits for no reason? There must be a misunderstanding!"
Zhu Bajie still explained without sparing any effort that he wanted the police to let their master and disciples go. In fact, the misunderstanding was too deep!
"You just go back with me and tell the magistrate honestly, hum!"
The policeman snorted coldly and stopped talking to Zhu Bajie.
"Ouch, Mr. Guan, why don't you believe what our masters and disciples say..."
Xuanzang and Sun Wukong felt a little surprised if there were any accidents on the way to the sutra collection team and they successfully returned to the county government office.
"You four monks actually repaid kindness with hatred and beat Master Kou to death. What crime do you deserve!"
The county magistrate pointed at the nose of the Buddhist scripture collection team and asked.
"It's unjust, we were wronged!"
Zhu Bajie hurriedly crawled over from the side, shouting loudly that he was wronged.
"Unjustly accused? Why have you been wronged? There are all the witnesses and material evidence, but you still want to make excuses. Someone come and hit the forty big ones first!"
As soon as the county magistrate gave the order, the government officials rushed up and brought forty big boards to the team.
Although these forty large slabs did not cause any harm to the Buddhist scripture collection team, the shame in their hearts lingered no matter what.
“May I ask where the witness mentioned by the county magistrate is?”
Sun Wukong raised his head and asked.
The physical evidence showed that the boxes of gold and silver were sent by people from the Kou Mansion, and became evidence to frame their master and disciples, but Sun Wukong urgently wanted to know who this witness was.
"It seems that your masters and disciples are determined not to give up until they reach the Yellow River. Someone, bring Mrs. Kou up to confront them!"
"yes!"
Soon, Mrs. Kou Er hurried to the Yamen, looking at the Buddhist scripture collection team with a very frightened expression.
"Sir, sir, you must make the decision for us. My master entertained these wolf-hearted white-eyed wolves, but he was actually killed by these white-eyed wolves in the end!"
Mrs. Kou Er burst into tears, pointed at the Buddhist scripture collection team and cursed.
"Second Madam, are you confused? When did our masters and disciples kill the bandits? When did you become blind?"
After Zhu Bajie listened to Mrs. Kou Er's testimony, he was so angry that he said with stars in his eyes.
"It's just you guys. I saw what you guys did to the master. You guys, you actually threaten me now!"
Mrs. Kou Er was shocked, pointed at the Buddhist scripture collection team and said reluctantly.
"You monsters and evil monks, you still want to threaten witnesses now. Do you really think that I am just a decoration?"
The county magistrate was furious and cursed at the Buddhist scripture collection team.
"Master, master, please speak. Senior brother, why don't you speak? Then aren't we just taking the blame?"
Zhu Bajie was so angry that he was so angry that he was blinded by Mrs. Kou Er's random accusations. When he wanted to continue to refute, he saw that Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were both silent, and he immediately fainted.
"Bajie, haven't you noticed yet? This is a dead end set up for us. How can we refute the charges forcibly imposed on us?"
Xuanzang calmly comforted Zhu Bajie and said.
The person who gave several boxes of gold and silver treasures to their master and disciples was a member of the Kou Mansion, and it was Mrs. Kou who testified that their master and disciples were the murderers. In this way, the frame-up was perfect!
The only thing that Xuanzang didn't understand was why the people in the Kou Mansion wanted to slander their master and disciples, and even risked Master Kou's life to get involved.
"Then...then what should we do!"
Zhu Bajie was so stunned that he couldn't react. He didn't know what to do now.
"Now that he's here, he'll be in peace. Of course, he'll be waiting quietly for the real culprit behind the scenes to show up, and then catch him."
Xuanzang continued to speak calmly.
"Okay, Master."
Zhu Bajie finally sighed and gritted his teeth when he looked at Mrs. Kou Er.
"Huh, you guys have finally confessed. If that's the case, then put them in prison and wait for trial!"
Seeing that the Buddhist scripture collection team had become honest, the county magistrate thought that the Buddhist scripture collection team had confessed, so he directly ordered that the Buddhist scripture collection team be imprisoned in prison to prevent the master and disciples from escaping.
"Ahem, cough, cough, this ghost place really stinks, Master, why don't we just escape from prison? These mortals will definitely not be able to stop us."
After being imprisoned in prison, Zhu Bajie always felt uncomfortable and suggested to Xuanzang.
Anyway, their experience-seeking team did not attack Mr. Kou. It would be a big loss for him to be framed and imprisoned unjustly.
However, for their masters and disciples, this dungeon is simply more fragile than paper, and it is not difficult to break through the dungeon.
"It's easy to rush out, but it will be difficult to clear your name. Do you really want to go back carrying the identity of a murderer?"
Xuanzang shook his head and rejected Zhu Bajie's proposal.
Regardless of whether their masters and disciples were framed, they had to find the real culprit before they could leave with peace of mind. Even for the death of Master Kou, Xuanzang thought that he must seek justice for him!
Now that their masters and disciples are imprisoned, it is not that there is no way out. On the contrary, now is the easiest time to force out the person behind the scenes!
