Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 416 The butler went out of the city overnight; the Great Sage held back all the way

The housekeeper has evil intentions and has an affair with the second wife.

This is what Master Fahai noticed on the first day he entered the manor.

But this kind of thing, as monks, it is actually not convenient for them to explain this to Kou Yuanwai.

The original intention of their master and apprentice was to see if they could catch the butler's current situation in the past few days, catch the stolen goods and obtain ironclad evidence.

It's just that the housekeeper really could bear his temper, and he didn't plan to do anything until today.

This is not a bad thing. After all, the most fearful thing is that after the master and apprentice leave, the housekeeper will play a dark hand. At that time, their master will not know where far away, even if the Great Sage secretly taught Julia, Kou Hui and Navos some It is inevitable that there will be some unexpected things in the way of practice.

Julia is a woman who does not give in to her eyebrows. Even as a daughter, she will definitely achieve a lot in the future based on her strong temperament. However, after all, the time of practice is short, although it is also somewhat effective, but if it is really effective It may be difficult for bandits to play a decisive role when they enter the house.

As for Kou Hui and Voss, the former one is stable and the latter one is jumping off. Each has its own characteristics, but just like Julia, this short few days of practice is ultimately a drop in the bucket.

The second lady didn't stay in the meditation room for a long time, after all, when her disguise was removed, she also felt shameless in the face of Master Sanzang.

The two words Master Sanzang said to himself always echoed in my heart: "What is the reason for getting to this point?"

It's not that she doesn't know, it's just that she has selectively ignored it in the past.

After returning to the room, he took off his clothes and went to bed. Kou Yuanwai who was beside him seemed to be awakened. Seeing that it was the second wife who was talking on the bed, he said naively: "Ye Liang, put on more clothes when you get up at night."

Second lady:
Master, I first went back to the housekeeper privately, and then I went to see Master Sanzang. I just came back, not because I was going to wake up at night.

But how could she say that, so she had no choice but to say: "Thank you, Master, for your concern, I have already"

She was only halfway through saying this, when she saw that her master had already fallen asleep again, she sighed helplessly, and the look in her eyes was also very complicated. Twenty years ago, the master still had some strength, but now he is more and more powerless.

It really hurt me.

The second wife is just the age of a wolf and a tiger, and Kou Yuanwai knows that he can't stand it, so in recent years, he has only shared the same bed, and has not had intercourse.

The fire of desire was ignited for a moment, and the second lady cried out inwardly. When she was in trouble, the voice of Master Sanzang chanting sutras suddenly sounded in her heart. For a while, the voice of Buddha, who was used to heaven and spirit, seemed to have boundless magic power, which made her such a restless heart. , slowly subsided.

When she listened carefully again, couldn't it be the Buddhist scripture she had been reading for the past few days?
"Miscellaneous Agama Sutra".

The Buddhist scriptures are in his own scripture hall, but Master Sanzang suggested that he take them and read them.

Not long after the second lady left.

Wu Jing then said to his master: "Master, because the magistrate Zhengtang of Tongtai Prefecture has been upright all his life and has a virtuous nature. Therefore, there are few strong people in this prefecture. Have the guts to commit murder and arson."

The magistrate, the master and the disciples have also seen it.

Upright, is a rare parent officer.

It is rumored that when he was young, he studied with Xue Xue. After finishing his studies, he was a top three in high school, and later he fought against the emperor in the Golden Luan Hall. He was praised by the emperor and bestowed Zhongshu Guanzheng.

His loyalty and benevolence are even more praised by the emperor and the people, and he can be described as a master of the blue sky.

In the history books in the future, he will inevitably leave a lot of ink.

Today, when I was doing the Vegetarian Monk Consummation Dojo, the magistrate also came to take a look around.

At this time, Xiao Bailong said to his master: "Master, although this Tongtai Mansion is safe and sound, but the disciples have explored the Diling County under the jurisdiction of the mansion these days, a group of criminals have indeed settled down in the past few days, saying that they are doing prostitution. , drinking, gambling, spending money on furniture, living without means, and now I am planning to commit robbery. The disciple also said that when we passed by Diling County, we would clean them up. That’s the only way to find this guy.”

"Master, do you want the disciples to deal with them first?" the Great Sage asked.

Before Fa Hai could speak, he heard Wu Jing say, "Master, the butler left the city overnight, and it's in the direction of Diling County."

"The gate of the city will be closed at night, how can he get out?"

"He is the steward of the Kou family. The Kou family has always had a reputation for benevolence here. The soldiers guarding the gate have been favored by the Kou family. And because the steward said that he was sent by Kou Yuanwai, he let him go if he had something important to do. .”

Although this soldier has dereliction of duty, such things are actually not new.

The commercial convoys of the Kou Mansion also often return to the city at night. The magistrate personally ordered them to go through after the inspection is correct.

Of course, if something goes wrong, it should be seized and punished.

It's just that Kou's motorcade has never had any troubles.
Now it's just the master of the Kou Mansion sending the butler out of the city, which is not a big deal.

"Follow him and see where he goes." Fa Hai instructed Wu Jing.

About half an hour later, Wu Jing said to his master: "Master, after finding out, it turned out that as expected, the housekeeper still went to Diling County, where he met that group of powerful people and they were acquaintances. A group of thieves have robbed the Kou family's caravan many times, which is what the butler leaked."

"They have made an agreement, because they are afraid that we will not be able to go far during the day, and there are too many people, so they have to wait until tomorrow night."

"Tsk, I don't see that he is still a habitual house thief." Bajie snorted.

Xiao Bailong sneered: "It's not surprising, after all, this beast even stole the mistress, and this time he is even eyeing the property of the Kou family, what else is he afraid of?"

Wu Jing didn't expect that this trip to Diling County with the housekeeper would involve so many things.What the elder brother said is indeed true, there are still many things hidden in the Kou Mansion.

That is to say, Kou Yuanwai is an honest person, not to mention the second wife and the housekeeper, even his daughter Julia, and the seemingly stable young son Kou Hui are not restless.

"Goku."

"Master." Hearing Master's call, the Great Sage jumped to Master's side, waiting for Master's order.

"Go to the government office and inform the magistrate about this."

"Disciples come as they go."

Whoever does it, let whoever does it. This is also Fa Hai's consistent style of doing things when he walks in the Three Realms.Apart from subjugating demons, punishing evil and promoting good along the way, he will not just rely on his advanced cultivation to intervene in local government affairs at will.

It's just that in many cases, there are no people who do things.

There is no one to do what should be done, since Fa Hai has encountered him, he will naturally not turn a blind eye.

Few of the robbers who were caught by their masters and apprentices along the way dealt with them on their own. Some of them asked them to go to the yamen to surrender themselves, and some of them asked Wukong to order the yamen's fast yamen servants to lead them.

But this is all based on the due diligence of local officials. If you encounter some unkind officials, Fa Hai's bottom line will naturally not be able to support them.

at night.

The magistrate was not asleep yet, and was reading by the lamp.

The great sage came in with a breeze, and was seeing a mighty fresh air hovering above his heavenly spirit, as if there were words that melted into it from the void as nourishment.

"who?"

The magistrate's eyes were burning.

The Great Sage wanted to pretend to be a ghost to have some fun, but seeing that the other party could find him at this moment, and he also had a good sense of the magistrate, so he restrained himself a little, and showed himself directly in front of him: "Master Zhifu, my grandson That's polite."

"It turned out to be the Great Sage." The magistrate obviously knew the Great Sage. Seeing that it was the Great Sage who found his room at night, he stopped calling for others, but his vigilance was still there, and he asked the Great Sage. One sentence: "I don't know why the Great Sage came late at night?"

He couldn't help being careless.

Since Master Sanzang entered Tianzhu, news of their masters and apprentices began to spread in various states and counties. A few days ago, there was even news that the princess favored Master Sanzang, and His Majesty sent troops to force him to keep Master Sanzang as his son-in-law.

But Master Sanzang came all the way to the mansion safely, and there was no intention in the palace to recruit a son-in-law or stop him. The magistrate boldly tried to figure out what he wanted, and he could guess a thing or two.

As for the origins of Master Sanzang's disciples, ordinary people may only know a little about them, but for them, the local parents and officials in the ruling party, it is no secret now.

In particular, Monkey King, the great sage Equaling Heaven who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, was marked as a dangerous person.

It is said that when Master Sanzang is not around, be careful not to offend him.

It's just that the Great Sage himself expressed his dissatisfaction and protest to Master after hearing the news. It's really wronging people, and he can't just look at himself with such a stereotype just because of his frivolity in the past.

And don't look at my master's image of a gentle and eminent monk, he is a ruthless person who can forcibly save the Bull Demon King by himself!
Lingji Bodhisattva was too frightened to speak loudly.

Even if he was punished that day, he would have to go hard twice
As for my old grandson, he is just a harmless stone monkey, and I really can't afford to be so "malicious" as you. Counting down this road, is there anything that my old grandson did?
Of course, if you say that he is a law-abiding person because of this, it is obviously not qualified.

Maybe other people don't know, but his master and his juniors know very well that the Great Sage has held back all this way, obviously he is going to make a big deal in the Great Hall of Great Heroes in Lingshan.

Among other things, in the past few days in the scripture hall of the Kou Mansion, the Great Sage has learned a few scriptures under the guidance of his master. Can't finish reading.
The Great Sage did not betray the magistrate, so he told the story of the housekeeper of the Kou Mansion.

"Bold!"

The magistrate immediately became angry, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not right for the government to send someone to arrest him." He paused, and then said in a deep voice: "It is not appropriate to move at this time. If the wind blows away, call him instead." Even if the strongman goes away, they won’t be able to hold their dirt.”

Thinking of this, the Zhifu said to the Great Sage: "Since they want to attack tomorrow night, it is better to set up an ambush in the Kou Mansion and catch them all in one go, so as to avoid future troubles. It is only the safety of the family members of the Kou Mansion."

The Great Sage said to the magistrate: "If the magistrate makes a decision, the family members of the Kou family can be protected by my master and apprentice, and you don't have to worry about leaking the news."

"In this way, there will be work."

After the great sage left, the magistrate summoned the master and told him about it.

The master, who was still a little confused at first, suddenly came to his senses, "Master Futai, why did you believe his words?"

"Firstly, Master Sanzang's reputation is here; secondly, why does he have to lie to me? Besides, this is a letter from the magistrate of Diling County."

The master took it over and took a look, and it was really the fact that this group of thieves entered the county. Because there were several ruthless characters in it, and because they lacked good arresters in the county, they sent a letter to the government to ask for help.

Things are all right.

After a while, another trusted servant came over and said to the magistrate: "My lord, the steward of the Kou Mansion really left the city."

"You go down first." The magistrate waved his hand at the servant.

After the servants went out, the master asked curiously again: "Master Futai, what do you mean by this Master Sanzang? Since their masters and apprentices have great powers, all the monsters along the way also surrendered with confidence. Why are they just some robbers today, but instead Come to find the yamen?"

The magistrate thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Perhaps, this is the brilliance of Master Sanzang."

The master pondered for a long time before he came up with some tricks.

Day two.

The dusty housekeeper finally rushed back to Kou's mansion before dawn, and tidied up his clothes as quickly as possible, so he was going to send Master Sanzang out of the city with him.

The surrounding people also came out early to wait.

Yesterday, Kou Yuanwai ordered the book office to write a hundred simple notes, invite neighbors and relatives, and send them to the Tang Dynasty monk to go west early this morning.

Naturally, they would not be absent for this kind of thing, and they even came before dawn.

The Kou Mansion had already prepared a farewell banquet, some of which were sent to the Sanzang's master and apprentice room, and some were distributed to the neighbors who came to present the holy monk.Not long after, twenty pairs of colorful flags were erected, and another group of drummers and musicians began to play and dance.

In the Daguang living room in the mansion, the neighbors, neighbors, brothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and fellow Zhaigongs and good friends who recited Buddha's name all invited to pay homage to Master Sanzang.
I also saw the lute playing the sheng under the hall, and the stringed strings singing and drinking banquets above the hall. Bajie saw it and said in his heart: "This Kou's mansion always said that when he met our master and apprentice, he met a good man and asked for an old pig. I said, but your mansion is better than those people. Princes and nobles must be generous. You are the real good people."

"Junior Brother Sha, eat as much as you want. After leaving Kou's house, there is no such a rich thing!" Bajie said to Wujing who was at the side, and then said: "Oh, I almost forgot that you don't eat. Bailong, eat more, don't leave any left over."

"Eat, eat, eat——" the Great Sage scolded him with a smile, "Look at how promising you are? If everyone had the same appetite as you, this Kou Mansion...would never be able to afford the fast food for all these ten thousand monks. "
