Under the promise of a hefty reward, those dozen or so ruffians not only ordered their minions to search everywhere for the Defrocked Monk, but also pleaded with other big shots in Chang'an City to join the search.

Bearded Bully Niu Er informed Mangy Dog Zhang San, Mangy Dog Zhang San told Black-Hearted Pig Li Si, Black-Hearted Pig Li Si passed the word to Harmful Bird Wang An, and Harmful Bird Wang An relayed it to Smiling Tiger Old Sixth...
In this manner, among the ruffians of Chang'an, word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and over a thousand ruffians of all sizes were mobilized, combing the streets of Chang'an like dogs in search of traces of Mahaparinirvana, the Monk Who Broke Precepts.
