Flower picking thief, where are you going!

"Quick, catch it, don't let it get away!"

The Pingyang County Government was very busy early in the morning. A white cat was running up and down, and everyone was chasing it.

Tang Helin leaned against the door with folded arms, watching everyone being played around by a cat, couldn't help but feel like laughing.

Tu Dou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said out of breath, "Master Bao... let's, let's stop chasing him, this cat is too clever."

"No." Bao Heihei glared at the white cat lying on the eaves and yawning, "It ate my small dried fish, I must let it suffer."

"Be sure to catch it!"

Everyone had no choice but to continue playing "hide and seek" with the white cat.

Bao Heihei looked back at Tang Helin, "Tang Xiaohua, don't watch the fun there, come and help me catch the cat."

Tang Helin stood up straight, with a lazy voice, "Master Bao, I am a flower picker, not a cat thief. I am good at picking flowers, but I am not good at catching cats."

While talking, Tang Helin suddenly saw a white shadow rushing towards him.

"Master Tang, the white cat is heading towards you, catch it quickly."

Tang Helin glanced over his right shoulder, and the white cat jumped on top of him.

"Master Bao, the cat..." Tang Helin cast a look of help at Bao Heihei, he doesn't like things covered in fur, and every time he sees it, he gets goosebumps all over his body.

It's not disgusting, it's just uncomfortable.

Maybe it was tired from running, the white cat curled up into a ball, lying on Tang Helin's shoulders, lazily basking in the sun.

"Hahaha..." Bao Heihei couldn't straighten up with a smile, "Don't tell me, this cat is a bit like Tang Xiaohua... Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Tang Helin's face was full of black lines. He wanted to move his shoulders, but he was worried that the cat would fall, so his body was stiff and he did not dare to move.

"Hahaha, now it looks more like..." Bao Heihei saw that Tang Helin didn't like the white cat very much, and gloated. "Tang Xiaohua, your charm is truly unmatched, even cats are attracted to you."

Tang Helin: "..."

Bai Cai couldn't stand it anymore, walked to Tang Helin and hugged the white cat.

At first the cat could meow a few times, and even struggled to escape, but after Bai Cai's "touching the head to kill", it calmed down, and was held in Bai Cai's arms obediently and fell asleep.

"Lord Bao, this cat has an owner." Bai Cai looked up at the jade plaque hanging around the cat's neck and said.

There is a word "Gu" written on the jade plate, which should be the surname of the cat's owner.

Except for Tang Helin, Tu Dou and the others all came forward upon hearing this.

"I don't care if it has an owner or not. How can I let this cat steal my dried fish?" Bao Heihei rushed forward in two or three steps, staring straight at the white cat.

The white cat narrowed its eyes lazily, turning a blind eye to Bao Heihei.

In this way, Bao Heihei became even more angry, and dared to ignore the official!

"Master Bao, let's help the white cat find an owner!" Yang Cong suggested.

"No, I haven't taught it a lesson yet, so how can I let it go." Bao Heihei raised his head and said with a smile: "I want to eat dried fish in front of it." , greedy for it..."

Tu Dou and the others were all speechless, uh!Mr. Bao is really narrow-minded, he just couldn't get along with a cat.

Tang Helin was eager to send the cat back as soon as possible. He stepped forward and walked to Bao Heihei's side, "Master Bao, it's better for us to help it find an owner. Even if it's a cat, it will be homesick."

"No, I won't help it find an owner. It ate my dried fish, and I won't forgive it."

"Master Bao..." Tang Helin touched Bao Heihei's arm with a folding fan, smiling brightly, his eyes sparkling.

"Why? Don't look at me like that." Bao Hei gave Tang Helin a sideways glance.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Tang Helin paused for a moment deliberately, "Looking at the high value of this jade plaque, maybe the owner of the cat is a rich businessman, a wealthy country gentry, if Mr. Bao helps him find the lost cat ..." Tang Helin leaned slightly, "Do you think he will prepare a generous gift for Mr. Bao? What will the generous gift be?"

"Of course the generous gift is silver!" Bao Heihei rubbed his hands with a happy smile, "It's just a cat. I can do good deeds and get money at the same time. Oh! It's really wonderful."

Bao Heihei clapped his hands, hugged the cat from Baicai's arms, stroked its soft fur, and said with a smile: "Little cat, I will take you home right away."

"Hahaha……"

Tang Helin shook his head helplessly, as long as money was mentioned, Bao Heihei would feel like he had been injected with chicken blood, and he would work harder.

"Master Bao, I think of someone about the cat's owner." Yang Cong scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.

"who?"

"The young master of the Gu family in Leping Town—Gu Chen."

Leping Town is a town under the jurisdiction of Pingyang County, Bao Heihei has some impression of this.

"The Gu family is mainly engaged in the cloth business, and 'Gu Ji Cloth' is owned by his family. It has a large scale and strong assets." Yang Cong thought for a while and continued, "The Gu family only has one son named Gu Chen, and he didn't leave. My father’s generation started as a businessman, but he became a teacher after he was elected. I heard that Mr. Gu has a gentle temperament, treats people with courtesy, and loves cats very much, so the subordinates guessed that this white cat should be the one owned by Young Master Gu.”

"The son of Boss Cloth..." Bao Heihei hugged the cat in one hand, rubbed his chin with his free hand, and said to himself with a smile, "It really makes a lot of money."

"As the parent officer, I am obliged to help the kitten find its owner. You guys are guarding the county government... I will go to Gu's mansion in person."

After Bao Heihei finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"Master Bao, I will go too."

"You, aren't you afraid of cats?" Bao Heihei turned around and asked Tang Helin.

"But I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to guard Mr. Bao!" Tang Helin walked up to Bao Heihei with a folding fan in his hand, and winked at him.

"Really?" Bao Heihei frowned suspiciously.

"Master Bao has seen all this. Sure enough, the two of us cherish each other and have a good understanding!" Tang Helin smiled and patted his palm with a folding fan, "I'm worried that Master Bao will take the reward for himself."

Bao Heihei: "..."

I just want to take it all by myself!

…………

The two came to Leping Town, and after a little inquiring, they found Gu's residence.

Bao Heihei walked to the side of a big tree, raised his head and glanced at Gu Fu, feeling deeply moved.

"The Gu family must be rich, and I will definitely get rich this time." This was his first reaction when he saw the Gu family.

Presumably sensing the familiar aura, the white cat lazily opened its eyes and let out a "meow".

"Master Bao, it will definitely be worthwhile for us to come here!" Tang Helin said with a smile.

Bao Heihei nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and knocked on the door of Gu's residence.

"Who are the two sons?" A servant poked his head out and asked.

Tang Helin tapped the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Tell your young master, the two of us brought him a 'baby'."

The servant was slightly puzzled. When he saw the cat in Bao Heihei's hand, he immediately understood what a "baby" was, and then said excitedly: "Xiaobai? Did you find the young master's cat?"

Gu Chen's cat is named Xiaobai.

"Exactly."

The servant directly opened the door, "Both young masters, please come in quickly. If the young master sees Xiaobai coming back, he must be very happy. In the past few days when Xiaobai disappeared, our young master has lost all his weight and lost weight. If you can't find Xiaobai, I guess the young master will be unhappy when he gets married..."

The servant is young, but he can speak well.If he hadn't walked to the door of Gu Chen's room, he could still have talked for three days and three nights.

Bao Heihei's left ear was listening to the sound of his right ear, and he only thought about rewarding money in his heart, so he automatically ignored the servant's words.

"Master—" the servant knocked on the door and shouted. "Master, Xiaobai is back!"

Gu Chen opened the door, "Xiaobai, is Xiaobai back?"

Gu Chen is a little more handsome than Bao Heihei imagined, with red lips and white teeth, thin figure, with the elegance of a scholar on his body, and his appearance is more delicate and pleasant than a woman.

Even though Gu Chen's face was slightly pale at this time, it didn't affect his favorability in the slightest.

"Mr. Gu, the two of us found this white cat by accident, and followed the jade plaque on its neck to find this place. I wonder if this is Mr. Gu's cat?" Bao Heihei stepped forward a few steps, wanting Gu Chen to confirm .

The white cat meowed a few times, and immediately broke free from Bao Heihei's embrace, jumped into Gu Chen's embrace, and rubbed its little head.

"Yes! It's my Xiaobai!"

Gu Chen held the white cat in his arms, stroked its little furry head, his eyes were full of love and pity.

Bao Heihei and Tang Helin smiled at each other, it seems that they helped the white cat find the right owner.

"Thank you two young masters for helping Gu find Xiaobai." Gu Chen nodded in gratitude, and then invited Bao Heihei to the house to rest.

"Hey, here comes the money." Bao Heihei jumped up the steps, his whole body brimming with the joy of getting rich.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bao Heihei did not inform Gu Chen of his identity as the magistrate, nor did everyone in Pingyang County have seen the magistrate.

Gu Chen in front of him obviously didn't know him.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Helin was attracted by the furnishings in the room. The calligraphy and paintings are elegant, the books are everywhere, neat but not ostentatious, elegant but not heavy, the room is filled with a strong atmosphere of books, which is very similar to Gu Chen himself.

What Bao Heihei cares about is not the calligraphy and painting all over the wall, what he wants is money, a lot of money.

The three sat down and sipped tea. During the period, Tang Helin and Gu Chen talked about the elegance of calligraphy and painting, and they hit it off.

Bao Heihei sat on the side dryly, drinking tea on his own, although it was more like drinking tea than drinking tea, he was restless, thinking about what to reward him.

"Young Master Tang, Young Master Bao." Gu Chen smiled slightly, "Thanks to the two young masters for helping me find Xiaobai, Gu can't thank you. It will be the day when Gu gets married in a few days. If the two young masters are free, how about If you come to the mansion for a wedding, Gu can also express his gratitude."

After finishing speaking, Gu Chen handed over the first two wedding invitations.

Bao Heihei frowns for a moment, just... only wedding invitations, no money.

He was about to speak, but was preempted by Tang Helin.

"Young master Gu is very handsome, I don't know which family's lady is lucky enough to tie the knot with Young master Gu?" Tang Helin asked jokingly.

Bao Heihei thought, why does Tang Xiaohua ask so many questions?You don't even know me.To participate in the wedding banquet so enthusiastically, wouldn't it be his idea to hit the bride?

Thinking of this, Bao Heihei glanced at Tang Helin.

Tang Helin looked at Shang Bao Hei Hei, "Huh?"

Bao Heihei hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea, pretending not to see it.

Gu Chen was a little shy, and then slowly said: "Her name is Liu Yue'er, she is not a daughter of a rich family, but Gu's lifesaver."

"Oh? The experience of the two of you is very curious." Tang Helin turned his head and asked Bao Heihei, "What do you think?"

Bao Heihei nodded perfunctorily. He didn't want to hear any love stories at all, but he still expressed his curiosity.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Gu Chen smiled, "Once when I was on the way up the mountain, I ran into thieves, and they were chasing me. I ran for my life and passed out from exhaustion. When I woke up, I realized that I was rescued by a girl. That is Miss Yue'er. Miss Yue'er is homeless and has saved my life, so I invited her into the mansion, and then..."

"Later, you two fell in love with each other, and you finally got married." Bao Heihei said for Gu Chen.

"Well. My mother likes her very much. Now the two of them are going to pick out the things they need to get married, but they haven't returned yet."

Tang Helin took a sip of tea, "It seems that the two of us are very lucky. First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Gu and Miss Liu for their hundred years of piano and se, and they will grow old together."

Bao Heihei had no choice but to say congratulations, "I wish you will be united forever and give birth to a precious son soon!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen's face turned red, it was obviously too early for the two of them who were not yet married.

Gu Chen never mentioned the matter of rewarding silver from the beginning to the end, and Bao Heihei couldn't open his mouth to ask for a reward, so he could only drink tea in suspense.

He thought to himself that this trip to Gu's mansion did not make any money at all, who told this official that there would be a reward, and who was it?
