#2314 - Guanyin turns into a shrew

Seeing Guanyin's obstruction, Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang were even more certain that something was amiss. That Kou benefactor was undoubtedly feigning death.

"Get out of the way!" Tang Sanzang said to Guanyin.

"She must have a guilty conscience, let me through!" Sun Wukong also shouted at Guanyin.

"Let me do it!" Pigsy came over and thrust his belly directly at Guanyin.

Guanyin was now in mortal form and couldn't withstand Pigsy's force. She was bounced back several steps by Pigsy's belly and landed on the ground with a thud.

Pushing Guanyin aside, Tang Sanzang and the others approached the coffin.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang and the others were getting close to the coffin, Guanyin became anxious and shouted immediately.

"Kou family servants, immediately protect the coffin! Don't let anyone touch my father's body!"

Guanyin's current identity was the daughter of Kou the benefactor. Now that Kou the benefactor was dead, the Kou family servants naturally obeyed her.

Moreover, there were people arranged by Guanyin among the Kou family servants. At this moment, hundreds of servants came forward to stop Tang Sanzang and the others.

With these hundreds of servants coming over, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong had no way to deal with them, as these servants couldn't be killed.

Furthermore, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong hadn't recovered their cultivation at this moment, so it wasn't convenient for them to fight with these servants.

"It seems she's determined not to let us open the coffin."

"What should we do? This woman is too hateful."

"Why don't we just smash the coffin directly?"

Sun Wukong and the others said to Tang Sanzang. Although it wasn't convenient for them to entangle with the servants at this moment, they could directly smash the coffin.

"Not appropriate, I have a way."

Tang Sanzang shook his head at Sun Wukong and the others.

After all, Kou the benefactor had a very high reputation in the hearts of the people. Directly smashing his coffin would probably incur the wrath of the people.

As Tang Sanzang spoke, he looked at the old county magistrate. At this moment, he could only rely on the power of this old county magistrate.

Tang Sanzang and the others came to the old county magistrate's side and said to him.

"Your Honor, you can see how unreasonable this Kou family is. They won't allow the coffin to be opened, they must have a guilty conscience."

"Your Honor, if we can't see Kou the benefactor's body, we will definitely not confess."

"Your Honor, you are a county magistrate after all, but this little girl dares not to put you in her eyes, it's really hateful."

Tang Sanzang and the others said to the old county magistrate, actually deliberately instigating and fueling the fire.

The old county magistrate was an official after all, and extremely protective of his own face.

He had already issued an order just now, but Guanyin still didn't give him face. At this moment, the old county magistrate's face also darkened.

"You Kou family woman, this official has explained the reasoning to you clearly, yet you are still so unreasonable, are you resisting the government?

Today, this official must open this Kou benefactor's coffin. If you obstruct, you are obstructing official business, then don't blame this official for being impolite."

The old county magistrate reprimanded Guanyin.

At this moment, Guanyin's heart was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She was Guanyin Bodhisattva, a disciple of the Tathagata Buddha, one of the big shots of the Western Paradise.

If her true form were to appear, that old county magistrate, a mere mortal, would have to immediately kowtow upon seeing her.

Unfortunately, she was now in a mortal body and couldn't reveal her true form, otherwise, she would definitely flatten that old muddle-headed official.

"This official will let them know who has the final say in this Diling County!"

The old county magistrate's stubborn temper also flared up, and he said to the constable behind him.

The constable naturally had to obey the county magistrate, and immediately summoned hundreds of constables to come in and forcibly open Kou the benefactor's coffin.

"Stop them!" Guanyin shouted to the Kou family servants upon seeing this situation.

The Kou family servants immediately stepped forward and confronted the constables.

"Rebellious! Rebellious! Arrest them all! Lock them all in prison!"

The old county magistrate angrily roared.

Having issued such an order, the constable naturally wouldn't be polite, and immediately ordered hundreds of constables to take action.

And the number of Kou family servants was also quite large, all holding sticks and hammers, and immediately fought with the constables.

Tang Sanzang and the others were very relaxed at this moment, with a posture of watching the excitement.

"Who do you think will win, these constables or the Kou family servants?"

"The numbers on both sides are about the same, but the constables are obviously stronger than the servants."

"That's not necessarily true, they can't be killed, I guess the battle will be endless."

Tang Sanzang and the others kept commenting from the side, the constables had already launched a fierce battle with the Kou family servants.

Indeed, both the Kou family servants and the constables were infinitely resurrected. Even if the battle was fierce, they wouldn't suffer casualties.

So once this fight started, it was estimated that it wouldn't be possible to tell the winner for a while, and the Kou residence had already become a chaotic mess.

As for the people, they didn't know whether they should help the Kou family servants or the constables.

Although the Kou family had great prestige, the constables were after all officials, and the people didn't want to offend anyone, so they could only not help either side and watch the show from the sidelines.

Guanyin's face turned green with anger. She had spent a lot of effort this time to design such a trap.

Seeing that Tang Sanzang and the others had already fallen into the trap, but this old county magistrate made her plan go wrong.

Regardless of the outcome of the fight between the Kou family servants and the constables, just with this situation, it would be very easy for Tang Sanzang and the others to escape.

"Damn it, how did I not calculate this old muddle-headed official?"

Guanyin angrily cursed at the old county magistrate.

As for the old county magistrate, he was currently directing the constables to fight, although he was just giving blind commands.

"Kill them for me! This official will reward heavily whoever catches them!"

"These evil slaves of the Kou family dare to resist the government! This official will arrest them and subject them all to severe torture!"

"If this official were not old, I would definitely kill these evil slaves with you!"

Hearing the old county magistrate's words, Guanyin's face turned purple with anger, wishing she could kick that old muddle-headed official to death.

Tang Sanzang and the others knew that it shouldn't be difficult to escape at this time, but they didn't want to escape now.

Because no matter how they escaped, they couldn't escape Diling County, and escaping would also earn them a reputation for fleeing in fear of punishment.

Since it had been determined that Kou the benefactor was feigning death, they wanted to take this opportunity to settle accounts with that old thief properly.

The fight lasted for a long time. Although no winner had been decided yet, the constables had already gained the upper hand.

After all, these constables were stronger than the Kou family servants, and they were all holding knives and swords, while the Kou family servants only had wooden sticks and hammers in their hands.

Seeing the Kou family servants being beaten back steadily, Guanyin was also anxious. If there were no servants, Tang Sanzang and the others would have to open the coffin to check, and everything would be exposed.

"I must think of a way."

Guanyin frowned and muttered to herself anxiously.
