第097回 Squire Kou Is Robbed and the Monks Are Wrongly Accused

097Chapter 97

。For now we will not speak of how Tang Seng and the others endured the night rain, taking shelter in the ruined temple of Huaguang.，、、，，，，，，。Instead, tell of a band of ruffians within the city of Diling County, in Tongtai Prefecture, who, through whoring, drinking, and gambling, had squandered their family fortunes and had no way to make a living, and so banded together, some ten-odd men, to turn to thievery, reckoning which household in the city was the wealthiest and which the second wealthiest, so as to go plunder some gold and silver for their expenses.：「，，。Among them one man said, "There's no need to spy about or scheme further — there's only today's affair, the seeing-off of that Tang monk at Squire Kou's house; his family is exceedingly rich.，，，，，，？」，，、、、、、，，，。Let us take advantage of this night's rain, when the people in the streets are off guard and the night watchmen are not making their rounds, and strike now, seizing some of his capital, so that we may go off again to whore and gamble and amuse ourselves — would that not be splendid?" The band of thieves rejoiced, united in purpose, and all armed themselves with short blades, caltrops, cudgels, sleep-clubs, hempen ropes, and torches, and came through the rain, forcing open the great gate of the Kou household, and rushed in with shouts and cries.，，：；In a panic the whole household, old and young, male and female, all scattered to hide themselves completely: the old mistress hid beneath the bed;；the old master slipped behind the door;、，。Kou Liang and Kou Dong, together with several sons and daughters of the family, all fled in trembling terror in every direction to save their lives.，，，、、，。The band of thieves, holding blades and lighting torches, broke open the household's chests and trunks, and thoroughly plundered the gold, silver, treasures, ornaments, clothing, and household vessels.，，，：「，，。」，，，。The squire could not bear to give it all up, and risking his life, went out the door and pleaded with the bandits, "My lords, if you have enough for your needs, that will do — please leave a few articles of clothing for this old man's burial." The bandits, allowing no further words, rushed forward and kicked Squire Kou in the groin, felling him to the ground.，！Alas, his three hun-souls drifted faintly away to the underworld, and his seven po-souls dissolved, departing from the world of men!，，，，。Having succeeded, the band of thieves left the Kou household, and along the base of the city wall made a rope ladder, letting themselves down one by one over the wall, and braving the rain, fled west through the night.，。The Kou household's servants, seeing the thieves withdrawn, only then dared show themselves.，。When they went to look, the old squire was already dead upon the ground.：「！They cried aloud, wailing, "Heaven!！」，。Our master has been beaten to death!" All of them fell upon the corpse weeping, in bitter lamentation.

，，。Now tell of the master and disciples, who had endured in the ruined lodge of the Huaguang shrine until daybreak, and only then set out on the road, heading west.，，，，，，，。As it happened, the very bandits who had robbed the Kou household that night, having let themselves down outside the city wall, had likewise taken the western high road, and by the time day broke, had passed some twenty li west of the Huaguang shrine, where they hid themselves in a mountain hollow, dividing up the gold, silver, and other goods.，，，：「？」：「，。Before the division was finished, they suddenly saw the four pilgrims of Tang Seng coming along the road; the bandits' hearts were still restless, and pointing at Tang Seng, one said, "Isn't that the monk from yesterday's send-off?" The bandits laughed and said, "Good, they've come at just the right time.，，，，，，，？」，，，，：「，，，；We too are in this lawless trade; these monks have come a long way and stayed at the Kou house a good long while — who knows how much wealth they carry on them? We might as well go waylay them, seize their travel funds, and rob them of the white horse to add to our share — would that not be a most satisfying affair?" The bandits thereupon took up their weapons, gave a shout, and ran onto the highway, spreading out in a single line, calling out, "Monks, don't run! Quickly leave behind your toll money, and we'll spare your lives;『』，，。」，，：「？let so much as half a 'no' pass your teeth, and it's one blow apiece — we'll leave none of you alive." This so frightened Tang Seng that he floundered wildly atop his horse, and Sha Seng and Bajie, hearts in a panic, said to Xingzhe, "What shall we do?？What shall we do?，，『』。」：「，，。」We barely endured half a night of rain, and now so soon we meet with bandits blocking the road — truly this is what is meant by 'misfortunes never come singly.'" Xingzhe laughed and said, "Master, do not be afraid; brothers, do not worry — let old Sun go and have a word with them."

，，，，；Xingzhe, bowing his head, opened the bundle, scooped up a handful of dust from the ground, and cast it upward, reciting a spell — it was a body-binding technique;：「！」，，，，，，。then he shouted, "Halt!" The band of thieves, some thirty in number, each and every one gritting his teeth, staring wide-eyed, hands flung open, stood stock-still, unable to speak a word or move a step.，：「，，。」：「，，。Xingzhe leapt out of the roadway and called, "Master, come back, come back!" Bajie, alarmed, said, "This is bad, this is bad — elder brother has given us away.，，。He has no money on his own person, and there's no gold or silver in the bundle — he must surely mean to have the master hand over the horse.。」：「。And calling us back means they'll strip us of our clothes." Sha Seng laughed and said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense.，，，？Elder brother is a most capable one — he has even subdued fierce demons and vicious monsters far worse than this; why should he fear a few petty thieves?，，。」，，，：「，？」：「？」，：「，？」，。If he's calling us over there, there must surely be something to it — let's hurry back and see." The elder, hearing this, gladly turned his horse about, and coming back to the spot, called out, "Wukong, why have you called us back?" Xingzhe said, "Look and see what these thieves have to say for themselves." Bajie went up close, shoving one of them, and called out, "Bandit, why don't you move?" The thief, utterly senseless, said not a word.：「。」：「。」：「，，？」：「。Bajie said, "He's gone properly dumb and dazed." Xingzhe laughed and said, "It's old Sun who used a body-binding spell to hold them fast." Bajie said, "If their bodies are bound, but not their mouths, why don't they even make a sound?" Xingzhe said, "Master, please dismount and sit down a while.：『，。』，，，，。」：「。」，，。As the saying goes, 'Better to seize wrongly than to let go wrongly.' Brothers, tie up all these thieves and make them lie flat, and have them give a full confession, so we may see whether they are green novice bandits or seasoned old hands." Sha Seng said, "We have no rope." Xingzhe at once plucked out some hairs, blew a breath of magic upon them, and transformed them into thirty ropes.，，。All together they set to work, throwing the thieves down and binding them, hands and feet trussed like a horse's four legs.，。Then he recited the spell once more to release them, and the band of thieves gradually came back to their senses.

，，：「，，？」：「，，，，。When Sanzang heard that it was property plundered from the Kou household, he was struck with sudden alarm, and rising hastily said, "Wukong, old Squire Kou was so very virtuous and kind — how could he have met with such a calamity as this?" Xingzhe laughed and said, "It was only because of the send-off given us, with all that colorful bunting and canopies and the loud beating of drums and music, catching people's eyes, that this band of scoundrels went to strike at his household.，。」：「，，，，？」。Now, fortunately, we happened to meet them, and have seized back from them all this gold, silver, and clothing." Sanzang said, "We troubled his household for half a month, and are deeply grateful for his generous kindness, with no way to repay it — would it not be a fine deed to escort this property back to his home?" Xingzhe agreed to this proposal.、，，，。He at once went with Bajie and Sha Seng into the mountain hollow to fetch all the stolen goods, gathered them together, and loaded them upon the horse.，。He also had Bajie carry a load of the gold and silver on a pole, while Sha Seng carried his own luggage.，，，。Xingzhe wished to beat the whole band of thieves to death with a single stroke of his staff, but fearing that Tang Seng would blame him for taking human life, he had no choice but to give his body a shake and gather back his hairs.，，。The band of thieves, their hands and feet freed, scrambled up and fled every which way to save their lives.，。Tang Seng then turned back and retraced his steps, to return the property to the squire's household.，，。This going was just like a moth flying into the flame — instead they suffered harm for it.。There is a poem in testimony.：The poem says:

Sha Seng said, "Second brother, that does not look like a bandit force. — Elder brother, look closely." Xingzhe said quietly to Sha Seng, "The master's star of misfortune has struck again; this must surely be government troops come to arrest bandits." Before he had finished speaking, the troops arrived and, spreading out into a ring, surrounded the master and his disciples, saying, "Fine monks indeed!，。」，，；You've plundered people's property, and still you swagger about here!"

，，，：「，，。」，，，。The troops, crowding and bearing them along, in a short while brought them into the city, and went directly to report at the yellow hall, saying, "Your Honor, the constables and militia have captured the bandits and brought them in." The magistrate, seated upright in the hall, rewarded the constables and militia, examined the stolen goods taken from the bandits, and at once ordered the Kou household summoned to reclaim them.，：「，，，，。」：「：，，。Then he had Sanzang and the others brought forward before the hall, and questioned them, saying, "You band of monks, claiming to have come from afar in the Land of the East to worship Buddha in the Western Heaven, turn out instead to be thieves who scheme their way in to scout the lay of houses, and then plunder and rob." Sanzang said, "Allow this humble monk to explain, great lord: this poor monk is truly no thief, and would not dare to deceive you — I have on my person this very moment the transit rescript, which may be examined as proof.，，，，，，，。It was only because Squire Kou's household fed us for half a month, with such deep and weighty kindness, that when we met bandits on the road, we seized back from them the property plundered from the Kou household, meaning to return it to the Kou family in gratitude for their kindness; we did not expect the constables and militia to seize us, taking us for bandits — but truly we are no bandits.。」：「，。We beg Your Honor to examine the matter closely." The magistrate said, "You rascal, seeing yourself caught by government troops, now cunningly claim to be repaying a kindness.，，？If you truly met bandits on the road, why did you not seize them too and bring them in, to report both the crime and the kindness repaid?？Why is it only the four of you here?，，，？」，，。Look here — Kou Liang has filed a complaint of loss, naming you by name in his accusation — and still you dare to argue your case?" Hearing this, Sanzang felt as though a great sea had swallowed a boat; his very soul and spirit fled in terror.：「，？」：「，？」：「，，？」：「，，。」，：「，。」，，：「。He called out, "Wukong, why do you not come forward and argue our defense?" Xingzhe said, "The stolen goods are here as proof — what use is there in arguing?" The magistrate said, "Just so! With the stolen goods and evidence right here before us, do you still dare deny it?" He called to his attendants, "Bring the head-clamp, and clamp this bald thief's shaven head, and then beat him." Xingzhe was alarmed, and thought secretly to himself, "Although it is true my master is fated to suffer this ordeal, still he must not be made to suffer too severely." Seeing the yamen runners preparing the ropes and fastening the head-clamp, he at once spoke up, "Your Honor, do not clamp that monk just yet.，，，，。Last night, in the robbery of the Kou household, the one who lit the lamp was I, the one who held the blade was I, the one who plundered the wealth was I, and the one who killed the man was I as well.，，，。」，。I am the ringleader of the thieves — if you must beat someone, beat only me; it has nothing to do with the others, only do not let me go free." Hearing this, the magistrate ordered that this one be clamped first.，，，。The yamen runners all set to work together, fitting the head-clamp onto Xingzhe, and tightening it with one pull — with a snap, the cord broke.，。They fastened it and clamped it again, and again with a snap it broke.，。They clamped him thus three or four times in succession, yet not so much as a wrinkle appeared upon his scalp.

，，。Gradually night fell; the drum sounded from the tower, and the night watch made its rounds.，，，：「。Enduring until the third point of the fourth watch, Xingzhe saw that none of them were groaning and all were fast asleep. He thought to himself: "Master was fated to suffer this one night in prison.，，。The reason old Sun did not open his mouth to argue the case or use his magic powers was precisely for this.，，，。」，，。Now the fourth watch is nearly over, and the disaster is about to run its course. I must go and make some arrangements, so that we can leave the prison gate at daybreak." Watch him work his skill — he shrank his body small and slipped free of the shackled bed.，，。He shook himself and changed into a tiny gnat, and flew out through a crack between the roof tiles.，。He saw the stars bright and the moon clear — it was a calm, quiet night.，，。He got his bearings and flew straight toward the gate of the Kou family. He saw that at the west end of the street one household had its lamps burning brightly.，。He flew closer to look at the doorway, and found it was a bean-curd maker's shop.，。He saw an old man tending the fire and an old woman pressing the soybean pulp.：「，，。The old man suddenly called out: "Old woman, Squire Kou indeed had sons and wealth, but he had no long life.，。He and I studied together as children, and I am five years older than he.，，，。His father was named Kou Ming; in those days he had not even a thousand mu of land, and what little rent and debts he lent out he could hardly collect.，，。By the time he was twenty, old man Ming died, and he took charge of the family property.：，，，，，，，，。Truly it was a stroke of good fortune for him: the wife he married was the daughter of Zhang Wang, whose pet name was Chuanzhen'er, and she indeed brought her husband prosperity — from the moment she entered his household, the crops he planted brought in harvests, the money he lent out earned interest, whatever he bought turned a profit, whatever he undertook made money, so that by now he had amassed a family fortune of a hundred thousand.，，，。When he reached forty, he turned his heart to goodness and fed ten thousand monks, yet who would have expected that last night he was kicked to death by bandits.！How pitiful!，。This year he was only sixty-four, just the age to enjoy his blessings.，，，，！」Who would have thought that with all his goodness he would get no good reward, but die an unnatural death — how lamentable, how lamentable!"

，。Xingzhe listened to every word of this, and by then it was already the first point of the fifth watch.，，，，；He then flew into the Kou household, and saw that in the main hall the coffin was already laid out, a lamp lit beside its head, incense, candles, flowers and fruit arranged before it, with the old wife weeping beside it;，。he also saw her two sons come to bow and weep, while the two daughters-in-law brought two bowls of rice to offer.，。Xingzhe perched right at the head of the coffin and gave a cough.；This so frightened the two daughters-in-law that they flailed their hands and feet and ran outside;．：「！the brothers Kou Liang and Kou Dong lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move, only crying out: "Father!嚛嚛嚛……」，：「，？」：「。」，，：「！Whoo, whoo, whoo..." The old wife, being bold, gave the head of the coffin a slap and said, "Old master, have you come back to life?" Xingzhe, imitating the squire's voice, said, "I have not come back to life." The two sons grew all the more alarmed, kowtowing over and over with tears streaming down, only crying, "Father!嚛嚛嚛……」，：「，，？」：「。Whoo, whoo, whoo..." Steeling her courage, the old wife asked again, "Master, if you have not come back to life, how is it you can speak?" Xingzhe said, "I am the one whom King Yama has sent a ghost-messenger to escort home to speak with you.，。」，：「！That woman Zhang née Chuanzhen'er has told lying, slanderous words and framed the innocent." When the old wife heard him call her by her pet name, she was so alarmed that she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "My good old man!！At such a great age, and you still call me by my pet name!，？」：「『，。When did I ever speak lying, slanderous words, or harm any innocent person?" Xingzhe shouted, "Wasn't there something like, 'Tang Seng set the fire, Bajie cried out for murder,，』。Sha Seng made off with the gold and silver, and Xingzhe beat your father to death'?，。Only because of your lying words, good people were made to suffer.，，，！Those four Tang dynasty masters met the bandits on the road, seized back the stolen property, and brought it to return to me in gratitude — what fine intentions that was!，。Yet you falsely fabricated a complaint of robbery and had our sons report it to the authorities.，。The authorities, without examining it carefully, have now thrown them into prison.、、，，。The prison god, the local earth god, and the city god were all alarmed, unable to sit or stand in peace, and reported it to King Yama.，；King Yama in turn dispatched a ghost-messenger to escort me home, to tell you to release them at once;，，，。」：「，。otherwise, I will make trouble in this house for a whole month, and not leave a single one of the household, young or old, nor even the chickens and dogs." The brothers Kou Liang and Kou Dong kowtowed again and pleaded piteously, "Father, please go back, do not harm the young and old.，，。」，：「，。」。As soon as it is dawn we will go to the prefecture and submit a statement clearing them, willing to admit our fault and have them released, only begging that the living and the dead both be at peace." Hearing this, Xingzhe at once called out, "Burn the paper money, I am going now." The whole household came and burned paper money.

Xingzhe secretly laughed and thought, "This is the spirit tablet of his uncle." So he put on a solemn tone and called out, "Worthy nephew Kunsan, though you hold office through our ancestors' merit and have always been upright, how could you yesterday, in your ignorance, take four holy monks for bandits, and without examining the truth of the matter, throw them into prison?、、，，，，；The prison god, the earth god, and the city god are all uneasy over this, and have reported it to King Yama. King Yama has sent a ghost-messenger to bring me here to tell you: examine the matter with reason and compassion, and release them at once;，。」，：「，，。」：「，，。」。otherwise, you will be summoned to the underworld court to answer for it." Hearing this, the prefect was struck with fear at heart and said, "Uncle, please return — your nephew will hold court and release them at once." Xingzhe said, "Since that is so, burn some paper money, and I will go back to report to King Yama." The prefect added more incense, burned paper money, and bowed in thanks.

All the officials thought Sun Xingzhe was only joking.：「，。Xingzhe said, "Gentlemen, please keep my master company for a while.、，。Bajie, Sha Seng, guard him well.。」，，。Wait for me — I'll be right back." Splendid Great Sage — he leapt out of the door and rose straight up into the sky.，。All at once colored clouds spread over the whole residence, and auspicious vapors filled the sky, guarding his true spirit.，，。Only then did everyone realize he was an immortal who rides clouds and mist, a sage who can restore the dead to life, and they all burned incense and bowed in worship — but no more of that for now.

，，。The Great Sage, riding his somersault cloud the whole way, went straight to the realm of the underworld, and burst directly into the Senluo Hall.：This so alarmed them that:

，，。the Ten Kings of the underworld came out to receive the Great Sage, and after greeting him, asked what had brought him and what business he had.：「，？Xingzhe said, "The ghost of Kou Hong, the man of Diling County in Tongtai Prefecture who fed monks — who has taken him in?。」：「，，，，。」，。Check quickly and tell me." The Ten Kings said, "That virtuous man Kou Hong — no ghost-messenger was even sent to summon him. He came here of his own accord, and met the Golden-Robed Page of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who brought him to see Ksitigarbha." Xingzhe at once took his leave and went straight to Cuiyun Palace to see the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.，。After exchanging courtesies with him, the Bodhisattva related the whole previous affair in detail.：「，，，。The Bodhisattva said with a smile, "Kou Hong's allotted span of life had, by the count of fate, simply come to its end — he passed from the world without ever taking to his sickbed.，，。Because he fed monks and was a man of virtue, I took him in to serve as the chief clerk in charge of the register of good deeds and good karma.，，。」。Since the Great Sage has come to fetch him, I will extend his earthly span by another twelve years, and let him go with the Great Sage." The Golden-Robed Page then led Kou Hong out.，：「，，。」：「，。When Kou Hong saw Xingzhe, he called out again and again, "Master, master, save me, please save me." Xingzhe said, "You were kicked to death by bandits, and this is the domain of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha in the underworld.。I, old Sun, have come especially to fetch you back to the world of the living to clear up this matter.，，，。」。Since the Bodhisattva has graciously let you return, and has extended your life-span by another twelve years, it is only after those twelve years that you need come back here." The squire bowed in gratitude without end.

，，，，。Xingzhe thanked and took leave of the Bodhisattva, blew Kou Hong's form into a wisp of vapor, tucked it into his sleeve, and together they left the underworld court and returned to the world of the living.，，，。Riding the clouds, he arrived at the Kou household, and at once called Bajie to lift open the coffin lid, and pushed the man's soul back into his own body.，。In a moment breath came through, and he came back to life.，：「，，，，。」。The squire climbed out of the coffin, and kowtowed to Tang Seng and his three disciples, saying, "Master, master, Kou Hong died an unnatural death, and thanks to you going to the underworld to revive me, I owe you the grace of a second life." He thanked them without end.，，：「？」：「，，。When he turned and saw the various officials lined up there, he kowtowed again and said, "How is it that all you gentlemen are here in my house?" The prefect said, "At first your sons submitted a complaint of robbery, naming the holy monks in the accusation, and I at once sent men to arrest them.，，。Little did we expect that the holy monks had met on the road the very bandits who had robbed and would have killed your household, seized back the property, and returned it to your home.，，。It was my subordinates who arrested them by mistake, and without a thorough hearing, sent them straight to prison.，，，，。Tonight your spirit appeared, and my late uncle's spirit also came to my house to plead the case, and in the county besides, a wandering deity descended from heaven — with so many manifestations happening all at once, the holy monks were therefore released.。」：「，。And now the holy monks have gone and brought you back to life as well." The squire knelt and said, "My lords, in truth these four holy monks were wronged.，，。That night there were more than thirty bandits, torches blazing and staves in hand, who robbed us of our family's wealth.，，，。It was I who could not bear to let it go, and argued with the bandits, and unexpectedly one of them kicked me in the groin and killed me.？」，「，？What had these four to do with it?" He then called his wife over: "Who was it that kicked me to death? How dare you all make such a reckless false accusation?。」。"Please, sir, decide our punishment." At that moment the whole household, old and young alike, did nothing but kowtow.，。The prefect graciously extended mercy and pardoned their offense.，。Kou Hong had a banquet arranged to repay the generous kindness of the prefectural and county officials.。None of them stayed seated for long before returning to their yamen.，，。The next day, the sign inviting monks to a vegetarian feast was hung out again, and once more they tried to detain Tripitaka as their guest.。Tripitaka absolutely refused to stay.，，。So instead they invited relatives and friends, prepared banners and canopies, and saw him off just as before.！Ah!：This is indeed:

What it’s about

Bandits raid Kou's estate after the pilgrims depart, steal his wealth and kill him. The robbers then meet Sanzang's party on the road; the disciples subdue them and recover Kou's property before any officers appear. When the authorities arrive, possession of the stolen goods makes the innocent pilgrims look like the murderers. They are taken back, imprisoned and condemned while Kou's bereaved household, confused by grief and appearances, cannot establish the truth.

Wukong uses Kou's ghostly voice to address the household and appears in the magistrate's dream, promising that the victim will return alive and clear the accused. He then obtains Kou's release from the underworld rather than hunting down a band that has already been overcome. The revived benefactor identifies the pilgrims as innocent and receives back what was stolen. Once the wrongful charge is reversed, Sanzang accepts renewed hospitality only briefly and urges departure, refusing to let even vindication become another attachment to the road behind them.

When it was written 背景

The episode joins earthly courts, dreams and the bureaucracy of death, treating each as a forum in which testimony must be authenticated. Material evidence is bounded but misleading: the pilgrims possess stolen goods because they recovered them. Learners can connect 強盜, 贓物, 冤獄 and 還魂. Kou's revival repays an external protector, or 外護, whose support of the sangha has exposed him to harm; sacred power here does not prevent injustice but repairs it by making the silenced victim able to speak.
