After listening to Chen Liu's words, Gu Zuo's mind suddenly became a little confused: "What did you say?"

"Someone asked us to send a cat back to He's house!" Chen Liu repeated.

Gu Zuo was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Liu shook his head: "Today afternoon, Ji Bantou called our brothers over, saying that the He family lost a pair of cats, only found one, and is still looking for the other." Ji Bantou said that he found it and wanted to send it back to the He family, but he didn't want the people of the He family to think that he was deliberately stammering, so he said that it was found by our brothers, and the reward of the He family belonged to our brothers, and he didn't want anything. ”

Hearing this, Gu Zuo immediately thought of the cat that the He family lost at the beginning, and asked Gu Zuo to search for it at that time, but Gu Zuo was fooled by Gu Zuo with a fake truth, could it be that the cat was found?

Chen Liu continued: "Our brothers felt strange at the time, and followed Ji Bantou to his house to pick up the cat, but it turned out that it was not the two cats we got from the He family. So I came over overnight to ask you, what is going on with the cat we got from the He family? The one that Ji Bantou gave him may be making up for the He family, but it's not true after all, but even he is trying to make up for it, so it's not a trivial matter. The He family's lost cat was made by us, this ...... If the stuffing is exposed, everyone will not have any good fruit to eat!"

Gu Zuo thought for a long time, the clue was a bit messy, and it was not easy to tell Chen Liuming the reason, so he said: "Sixth brother, don't worry, I'll take a look at the cat that Ji Bantou found first." ”

Chen Liu and Jiang Qi didn't dare to take the cat with them, Gu Zuo went down the mountain overnight and followed them into the city. Although the county gate is closed at night, there is actually no guard, only two county archers nap at the city gate.

The city wall of Shanyin County is not high, with the skills of Chen Liu and Jiang Qi, they can come and go freely, Gu Zuoxiu is a big advance, and he jumped up, Jiang Qi took a handle at the head of the city, and dragged him up.

Sneaked into Chen Liu's house, lit a candle in the house, and saw an iron cage on the ground, and a raccoon cat was curled up in it to sleep.

After the tanuki woke up, it first grinned at Chen Liu and Jiang Qi, and when he saw Gu Zuo, he called "meow" again, and seemed to be a little affectionate.

Carefully observe the texture and color of the tanuki, which is different from the one that was returned to Wei Changqiu, and is very similar to the genuine product given by the Heavenly Family found in the valley.

Could it really be the first one lost by the He family?

But looking at this body shape and demeanor, it feels very familiar, what is the reason?

Gu Zuo opened the iron cage and reached in to catch the tanuki, who stretched out his tongue and licked his palm, very well-behaved.

Turning the tanuki around and looking around, Gu Zuo immediately found the black spots under the cat's ears, and then used the tracking method to sense, and finally confirmed that this was the tanuki that was returned to Wei Changqiu.

After confirmation, Gu Zuo carefully looked at the cat's texture and color, and kept rubbing the cat's hair with his fingers, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. In the same way that he had used ink to dye the cat, the cat had been repainted, but the technique and materials used were a hundred times higher than his, almost to the point of being fake.

Chen Liu and Jiang Qi both gathered around Gu Zuo, and Chen Liu asked, "What's going on?"

Gu Zuo put the cat back in the cage, stood up, and said slowly: "It's the cat we returned to Wei Changqiu, and this color is painted with extremely clever means...... It's not Tu, it's not good, and I don't know how to add it. ”

In the dim candlelight, Chen Liu and Jiang Qi looked at each other, and the three of them didn't say a word, each at a loss.

After a long time, there was a crisp sound of "pop", the candlelight flickered, and the three of them woke up suddenly, Chen Liu muttered: "Since it is the He family's cat, why do you still have to color? What does this mean?"

Gu Zuo said slowly: "Two possibilities. First, the He family's movement to find the cat was a bit big, and Ji Bantou noticed it, and Ji Bantou kindly helped their family find compensation; ”

Chen Liu asked, "What benefits?"

Gu Zuo shook his head: "I don't know, it depends on who is behind Ji Bantou?"

Chen Liudao: "Ji Bantou is the son-in-law of Dong County Lieutenant. ”

Sanyin County has two adjutants, the chief secretary and the county lieutenant, who are under the county order, and the county lieutenant is divided into six cao, responsible for the deacon, and has great power.

Gu Zuo pondered: "County Lieutenant Dong wants to go the way of the He family......?

Chen Liu added: "Shanyin is a middle county, and the county lieutenant is from Jiupin. ”

Gu Zuo said: "That's right, a lowest-rate petty official, if he can go to the He family, it will be easy to be promoted to two levels...... However, why did he go so far to get this cat? Why did Wei Changqiu hand over this cat to County Lieutenant Dong? What is the relationship between the two of them?"

Chen Liu thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of any overly close friendships, but County Lieutenant Dong is the judge of this county, and it is common for Wei Changqiu to get closer to him." Not only Wei Changqiu, but even the general affairs elders of the Liulin Sect and the Dushan Sect were also extremely familiar with Dong County Lieutenant. ”

Gu Zuo asked again: "Why did Ji Bantou hand over this matter to the two elder brothers?"

Chen Liudao: "In Shanyin County, the south city is Long Er, and the north city is me and Lao Qi. ”

The three of them got together to analyze and analyze, but in the end they didn't analyze anything, all the previous speculations were plausible, all kinds of nonsense, and finally Chen Liu hesitated for a long time, but decided not to want to, and then talk about it.

Chen Liu didn't dare not do what Ji Bantou explained, unless he didn't want to mix in Shanyin County in the future, let alone just send the cat.

"I don't care about that for now, it's a headache to think about. Lao Qi and I will go to the old house of the He family in Jiangbei tomorrow and return the cat. Xiao Gu, what do you think, how much can the He family reward?"

Gu Zuo referred to what he had gained, and hesitated: "Five runs, or ten runs?"

The wealth was moving, Chen Liu's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked: "This texture and color, should we clean it up?"

Gu Zuo shook his head and said, "I can't get it down, unless I cut off all the hair." ”

Chen Liu scratched his head: "But if you send it over like this, the color is wrong." ”

Gu Zuo said: "If you really want to get the reward, you really have to send it over like this." ”

Chen Liu asked, "Why is that?"

How did Gu Zuo explain? For a while, he couldn't explain it at all, but he said firmly: "Ji Bantou asked you to return it, and you just returned it." ”

The next day, the two sides went separately, Gu Zuo went to Jiangbei to perform the duties of his county monk fast shift, inspecting the traces of demon cultivation, and Chen Liu and Jiang Qi went to He's house to return the civet cat.

When he inspected the vicinity of the He family's old house, he happened to see Chen Liu and Jiang Qi who were on the boat at the He family's dock and left, the two sides tacitly did not talk, Chen Liu just nodded at him slightly, Gu Zuo understood that the matter was done smoothly. I just don't know how much reward the He family gave to the two of them, but this has nothing to do with Gu Zuo, just like Gu Zuo helped the He family find a cat, and all the reward money he got belonged to him.

Seeing Chen Liu and Jiang Qi leave by boat, Gu Zuo stood by the dock for a long time, looking at Chen Liu and Jiang Qi in the distance, looking at their figures talking and laughing with their father-in-law, his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The involvement of defrauding the He family of reward money by pretending to be real has finally been whitewashed so far.
