This very night some scoundrels break into the Kou house to steal, and Kou Hong is killed by them. Kou Hong’s wife slanders the pilgrim monks for the burglary. The sons of Kou Hong believe this to be true, and report the case to the authorities. The official orders his men to chase the criminals. In the morning the scoundrels are all captured by Monkey in the Vihara of Padmaprabha, and the pilgrim monks set out to bring the stolen goods back to the city. (They teach the scoundrels a lesson before they release them). On their way to the city they meet the soldiers sent to catch them, and are arrested.
