Chapter 414: The housekeeper went out of the city overnight; the great sage held back the whole journey
Chapter 414 of the text volume of "Fa Hai Travels Through the Tang Sanzang": The housekeeper left the city overnight; the Great Sage suppressed the news all the way that the housekeeper had evil intentions and was having an affair with the second lady.
This is what Master and Disciple Fahai noticed on the first day they entered the manor.
But as monks, it was not convenient for them to explain this kind of thing to the bandits.
The original intention of their master and disciple was to see if they could catch the butler's current behavior in these few days and obtain ironclad evidence of his stolen goods.
It's just that this housekeeper is really able to endure his temper, and he didn't even plan to take action until today.
This is not a bad thing. After all, what they fear most is that after their master and apprentice leave, the housekeeper will do something secretly. By then, their master will no longer know where he is. Even the Great Sage and they secretly taught Julia, Kou Hui and Navos some
In the way of practice, it is inevitable that some unexpected things will happen.
Julia is a woman who cannot be outdone by women. Even though she is a girl, with her strong temperament, she will definitely achieve a lot in the future. However, after all, her practice time is short now. Although she has achieved small results, if she really has it,
If thieves enter the house, it may be difficult for them to play a decisive role.
As for Kou Hui and Voss, the former is steady and the latter is bold. Each has its own characteristics, but like Julia, these few days of practice are ultimately a drop in the bucket.
The second lady did not stay in the Zen room for long. After all, when her disguise was taken off, she felt ashamed to face Master Tripitaka.
The two words Master Tripitaka said to me always echo in my heart: "What is the reason for reaching 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. The soldier on the side seemed to be awakened. Seeing that it was the second lady talking on the bed, he said innocently: "It's a cold night, so wear more clothes when you get up."
Second lady:
Sir, I first went back to the housekeeper privately, and then went to see Master Tripitaka. I just came back, and it was not that I wanted to get up at night.
But how could she say this, so she had no choice but to say: "Thank you for your concern, sir, I'm done"
She was only halfway through saying this when she saw that her master had already fallen asleep again. She sighed helplessly and had a very complicated look in her eyes. Twenty years ago, the master still had some strength, but now he is increasingly unable to do what he wants.
It really hurts myself.
The second lady was at the age where she was like a wolf and a tiger, and Kou Yuanwai knew that he could not resist her, so in recent years they only shared the same bed with her and did not have sex.
The fire of desire was ignited for a moment, and the second lady secretly complained in her heart. When she was worried, the voice of Master Tripitaka while chanting sutras suddenly sounded in her heart. For a moment, she was accustomed to the heavenly spirit. This Buddha's voice seemed to have boundless magic power, which actually made her such a restless heart.
, slowly subside.
When she listened carefully, couldn't it be the same Buddhist scripture she had been reading these past few days?
"Za Agama Sutra".
The Buddhist scriptures were in his own scripture hall, but it was Master Tripitaka who suggested that he take them for himself and read them.
Not long after the second lady left.
Wu Jing then said to his master: "Master, this is because the magistrate of Tongtai Prefecture is an upright man with a virtuous nature. Therefore, there are few strong men in this prefecture. Even if there are some who are dishonest, they are just ordinary thieves. I'm afraid they haven't been here yet.
How dare you commit murder and arson."
This Lord Magistrate, his master and his disciples have also met him.
He is upright and is a rare parent officer.
Rumor has it that when he was young, he studied calligraphy at Xiangxue. After completing his studies, he became the top three in high school. Later, he countered with the emperor in the Jinluan Palace. He was praised by the emperor and given the title of Zhongshu to watch the government. Now he is devolved to the Tongtai Mansion and is in charge.
His loyalty and kindness were praised by the emperor and the people. He can be said to be a great master.
In the future, he will be indispensable in history books.
Today when I was a monk and completed my dojo, the prefect also came to take a turn.
At this time, Xiao Bailong said to his master: "Master, although Tongtai Mansion is peaceful, my disciple has recently explored the Diling County under the jurisdiction of the mansion. In the past few days, a group of thugs have settled down. It is said that they were involved in prostitution.
, drank, gambled, spent all their belongings, had nothing to live on, and are now planning to commit robberies. The disciple also said that when we passed by Diling County, we would deal with them immediately. If the housekeeper wants to find a strongman, I am afraid that there will be a strongman nearby.
This is the only one we can find."
"Master, do you want your disciples to deal with them first?" the great sage asked.
Before Fa Hai could speak, he heard Wu Jing say: "Master, the housekeeper left the city overnight, in the direction of Diling County."
"The city gate is 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 soldier guarding the gate was even more favored by the Kou family. And because the steward said that he was sent by the Kou family, he let him go if there was something important going on.
."
Although this soldier was derelict in his duties, such things are not new.
The Kou Mansion's commercial convoys also often returned to the city at night. The prefect had personally given instructions and could be released after checking that everything was correct.
Of course, if any problem is found, it will naturally be seized and punished.
It's just that the Kou Mansion's fleet has never had any problems.
Now it's just the master of the Kou Mansion sending the housekeeper out of the city, which is not a big deal.
"Follow him and see where he goes." Fa Hai told Wu Jing.
About half an hour later, Wu Jing said to his master: "Master, after checking it out, the result was as expected. The housekeeper went to Diling County and met that group of people and they were acquaintances.
A group of thieves had repeatedly robbed the Kou family's trading fleet, which was the news revealed by this steward."
"They made an agreement, because they were afraid that we wouldn't be able to walk far during the day, and because there were so many people, they had to wait until tomorrow night to start."
"Didn't you realize that he is still a habitual criminal?" Bajie snorted.
Xiao Bailong sneered: "It's not surprising. After all, this animal has even stolen the mistress. This time, it is even more focused on the Kou family property. What else can he not dare to do?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Jing never expected that following the housekeeper to Diling County would involve so many things. Senior Brother said
Sure enough, there are still many things hidden in the Kou Mansion.
That is to say, this member Kou is an honest man. Not to mention the second wife and the housekeeper, his daughter Julia and the seemingly stable young son Kou Hui are also restless.
"Wukong."
"Master." The Great Sage heard Master's call and jumped to Master's side, waiting for Master's instructions.
"Go to the government office and inform the prefect about this."
"Disciples will come as they go."
Let whoever has the business do it. This is also the way Fahai always behaves when he travels the three realms. Apart from slaying demons and punishing evil and promoting good along the way, he actually does not rely on his own cultivation.
Being sophisticated, he interfered in local government affairs at will.
It’s just that most of the time, there are no people doing the work.
There is no one to do what needs to be done. Now that Fa Hai has met him, he will naturally not turn a blind eye.
Few of the bandits caught by their masters and disciples along the way were dealt with without authorization. Some were asked to go to the Yamen to surrender in person, and some were asked by Wukong to order the Yamen's police officers to pick them up.
But this is all based on the fact that local officials are fulfilling their duties. If they encounter some unkind officials, Fahai's bottom line will naturally not be able to protect people like them.
at night.
The prefect has not gone to bed yet and is reading with the light on.
The Great Sage turned into a breeze and came in. Just when he saw a mighty fresh air hovering above his heavenly spirit, it seemed that there were letters, which were melted into it from the void as nourishment.
"who?"
The magistrate's eyes were as bright as a torch.
The Great Sage originally wanted to have fun pretending to be a ghost, but seeing that the other party could detect him at this moment, plus he also had a good sense of the prefect, he restrained himself a little and appeared directly in front of him: "Master Prefect, I am Lao Sun
So polite."
"It turns out to be the Great Sage." The prefect obviously knew the Great Sage. When he saw that the Great Sage had found his room at night, he gave up the idea of calling people, but he was still wary and asked the Great Sage.
One sentence: "I wonder why the great sage came here late at night?"
He couldn't help but be careless.
After Master Tripitaka entered Tianzhu, news about their masters and disciples began to spread in various states, counties and prefectures. A few days ago, there was news that the princess was interested in Master Tripitaka, and His Majesty sent troops to force Master Tripitaka to be her son-in-law.
However, Master Sanzang made it all the way to the palace safely, and there was no intention in the palace to recruit a son-in-law or to stop him. The magistrate boldly tried to figure out his intentions, and he was able to guess a thing or two.
As for the origins of Master Tripitaka's disciples, perhaps ordinary people only have a partial understanding of them, but for local officials like them who are in power, it is no longer a secret now.
In particular, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, the great sage who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, was labeled as a dangerous person.
It is said that when Master Tripitaka is not around, you must be careful not to anger him.
It was just that after the Great Sage himself heard the news, he expressed his dissatisfaction and protest to the Master. It was really an injustice. He should not continue to view himself with such a stereotype just because of his past frivolity.
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 so frightened by him that he did not dare to speak loudly.
Even for the punishment that day, he had to give him a hard blow twice.
As for me, I am just a harmless stone monkey, and I really cannot bear your "malice". If you look at this in detail, is there anything that I have done?
Of course, if we say that he is a peaceful person because of this, it is obviously not qualified.
Maybe others don't know, but his master and several junior disciples know very well that the great sage has been holding back this whole journey, and it is obvious that he is going to make a big deal in the Lingshan Mahavira Hall.
Not to mention anything else, in the past few days in the Kou Mansion Sutra Hall, the Great Sage has learned several sutras under the guidance of his master. If he went to Lingshan to recite sutras more carefully, these sutras would be read every three to five days.
I can’t finish reading it.
The Great Sage did not try to get along with the magistrate, so he told the story of the butler in the Kou Mansion exactly.
"Be bold!"
The magistrate immediately became angry and said in a shocked voice: "It would be inappropriate for me to send someone to arrest him right now." He paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It is not appropriate to move at this time. If the news gets away, you will scream.
Even if the strong men leave, they won’t be able to stop them.”
Thinking of this, the prefect said to the great sage: "Since they want to take action tomorrow night, it is better to set up an ambush in the Kou Mansion and catch them all to avoid future troubles. It is just about the safety of the Kou Mansion's family members."
The Great Sage said to the magistrate: "If the magistrate has made a plan, my master and apprentice can protect the family members of the Kou Mansion, and you don't have to worry about the news leaking out."
"In this way, there will be a lot of work."
After the great sage left, the prefect summoned the master and told the matter.
The master, who was still a little confused at first, suddenly came to his senses and said, "Master Futai, why did you believe his words?"
"First of all, 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 and took a look, and found that what was written on it was really about the entry of this group of thieves into the county. Because there were several ruthless characters among them, and there was a lack of good arresters in the county, he sent a letter to the government station to ask for help.
Everything can be done.
After a while, another close servant came and replied to the magistrate: "Sir, the steward of the Kou Mansion has really left the city."
"You go down first." The prefect waved his hand to the servant.
After the servant went out, the master asked curiously: "Master Futai, what do you mean by Master Tripitaka? Since their master and disciples have great magical powers and have surrendered all the demons along the way, why are they just bandits today, but instead
Come to look for the Yamen?"
The magistrate thought for a while and said with a smile: "Perhaps this is the brilliance of Master Tripitaka."
The master thought about it for a long time and finally came up with some ideas.
The second day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The dusty housekeeper finally rushed back to the Kou Mansion before dawn, packed up his clothes as quickly as possible, and then went with him to send Master Sanzang out of the city.
Already.
The people around him also came out early to wait.
Yesterday, Kou Yuanwai ordered the secretary to write hundreds of brief notes, inviting relatives in the neighborhood, and sent the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty to the west early this morning.
Naturally, they would not be absent for this kind of thing, and even came before dawn in some cases.
The Kou Mansion had already prepared a farewell banquet, some of which were sent to the rooms of Tripitaka and his disciples, and some of which were shared with the neighbors who came to honor the holy monk. Not long after, twenty pairs of colorful flags were erected.
Another group of drummers and musicians began to play music and dance.
In the large living room of the mansion, the invited neighbors, neighbors on the right, brothers-in-law, aunts, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, as well as fellow monks and good friends who chanted Buddha's name, all bowed to Master Tripitaka.
He also saw drums, harps and shengs being played below the hall, while people were singing and drinking and having a banquet above. When Bajie saw this, he said to his heart: "The general in the Kou Mansion said that when he met our master and disciple, he met a good man. I say, old pig, but your manor is better than those people."
The princes and nobles should be generous. You are the real good people."
"Junior brother Sha, feel free to eat as much as you can. Without the Kou family, there will never be such rich things!" Bajie said to Wu Jing who was standing aside, and then said: "Oh, I almost forgot that you don't eat anything."
Bailong, please eat more and don’t leave any leftovers."
"Eat, eat, eat -" the great sage scolded him with a smile, "Look at your little potential? If everyone had the same appetite as you, this bandit's house would never be able to provide enough food for the ten thousand monks.
