Chinese Traditional Story: The Bizarre Cause and Effect

During the Qing Dynasty, a governor of Hunan Province sent a group of entourage officials to deliver 600 thousands taels of gold to the capital. Due to heavy rain, they delayed their journey. Dusk arrived, but they couldn't find a motel to stay overnight. When they saw an ancient temple standing in the distance, they decided to stay overnight in the temple. After daybreak, everyone found that the huge amount of gold they guarded all along the way had disappeared. It was completely gone. All of them became terrified and confused. They started to investigate, but no matter how hard they worked searching, there were still no signs of theft. They had no choice but to go back to report to the governor.
