"Your Excellency, please look."

Zhang Mutou took out a jade pendant from his arms, hung it in his hand, and showed it to the county officials and officials.

The county magistrate saw that it was not a cake making recipe, and snorted coldly: "What's so beautiful about a piece of jade pendant." Do you want to bribe the official? ”

Zhang Mutou smiled: "My lord said that I laughed, my lord can take a closer look, the jade pendant is a dragon, and it is four-clawed." ”

"What?" The county magistrate was taken aback. What does the dragon represent? The dragon represents the emperor and represents the royal family! The emperor and the royal family have dragons on their clothes and accessories, but the emperor has a five-clawed golden dragon, while the prince and the prince have a four-clawed golden dragon. The jade pendant in Zhang Mutou's hand has a four-clawed dragon pattern, which means that he is very likely to know the prince or a certain prince.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?" The county magistrate asked in surprise.

Zhang Mutou smiled: "The fourth prince sent it." ”

"The Four Princes?" The county magistrate took a breath of cold air, "You, you actually know the fourth prince?" ”

Zhang Mutou: "Xiaomin was lucky, he met the four princes and helped the four princes a little. The fourth prince rewarded me with this jade pendant and promised me a request. If I have anything to do, I can use the jade pendant to ask the four princes for help once. ”

He had been in the palace for so many years in his previous life, he had seen more and heard more, how could he not know the truth of "the husband is not guilty and guilty", the business of the cake shop is getting better and better, and someone will definitely make up his mind. In order to protect the cake shop and the Zhang family, he must find a backer for himself. He thought of the news he heard in his previous life, the four princes were assassinated near his hometown in his previous life, and they were separated from the guards, and by the time the guards found the four princes, the four princes had died of serious injuries and had died. Because the four princes died near their hometown, Zhang Mutou deliberately had a detailed understanding of the matter, and even inquired about where the four princes died and when they died. So, Zhang Mutou prepared medicine to heal his injuries and waited on the way to escape for the four princes in advance, saving the four princes. The fourth prince was grateful to Zhang Mutou for saving his life, and left Yu Peiyu to promise to Zhang Mutou.

The county official looked at Yu Pei and was about to cry, he didn't expect that he was just doing his brother-in-law a favor, and he would provoke the existence of such a powerful background. Damn, you Zhang Mutou has a background and said it earlier, and he only said it when he was bullied, isn't this a pit person?

The county magistrate tugged at the corners of his mouth and forced a smile: "Zhang, little brother Zhang, what's that, the official thinks that the official has just made a mistake, how can someone like you poison the cake?" Someone must have framed you. This official will definitely catch the real murderer and return your innocence. ”

Zhang Mutou put away the jade pendant with a smile and arched his hand: "Then thank you, my lord." It is a blessing for my county that my lord is indeed fair and honest. ”

A high hat was sent up, and the county official's smile widened a little, and he praised Zhang Mutou for his young and promising skills. It's really hello, hello, hello everyone!

Then, Zhang Mutou was sent out of the county government by the county official in a friendly manner. Zhang Mutou returned to the store with the official who had arrested him before, and the big men were still smashing the shop, and the official came forward to lock them up and take away the beggar's body. The poor men originally wanted to earn a few silver, but they were put in prison, and the county official's brother-in-law who hired them was also severely taught a lesson by the county official, so that the county official's brother-in-law no longer dared to fight the idea of a cake shop. After other people in the county who had ideas about the cake shop saw that the county official's brother-in-law also returned, they understood that the Zhang family had a background and was not easy to mess with, so they also died down.

"Dexing, it's great that you're back." When Zhang Niang saw her youngest son come back safely, her heart was relieved, but tears flowed down.

"Dexing, are you okay? Is the prefectural magistrate embarrassed? Second Brother Zhang ran to his younger brother to look left and right, he heard the news of home in the academy, and immediately ran back, but as soon as the front foot entered the door, the back foot Zhang Mu came back.

"Dad, mother, second brother, I have nothing to do, the county officials have already figured it out and returned my innocence. No one will come to us in the future. Zhang Mutou smiled at the three people.

"That's good, that's good." Dad Zhang bowed his hand in the direction of the county government, "Thank you Lord Qingtian, thank you Lord Qingtian." ”

Zhang Mutou: "......"

It's better not to tell Zhang's father and Zhang Niang about the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes is the county official's brother-in-law, so as not to worry them.

"Dexing was frightened, hurry back to the room to rest, and when your father and I clean the shop, we will make something delicious for you." Zhang Niang said, "Deyuan, you accompany your brother." ”

Zhang Mutou looked at the chaotic shop, and his anger soared, but then it burst like a bubble.

Zhang Mutou sighed. This field can't be found for the time being. Although relying on the jade pendant of the four princes made the county officials retreat, the county officials' local connections and power were not something that the Zhang family could afford to provoke, and if they were on a hard line with the county officials and their brothers-in-law, it would only be their own family that would be unlucky. At that time, as long as the county official snatches away the jade pendant and does not let the four princes know their news, he will be powerless, and the county officials will be killed.

It seems that you have to add some extra weight to yourself. A bold idea popped up in Zhang Mutou's heart.

Help the Four Emperors seize the throne! Exchange the title from the dragon's skill, so that the county magistrate will bow his head when he sees himself!

In the previous life, the fourth prince died in the assassination and did not ascend to the throne. According to Zhang Mutou's later knowledge, the fourth prince was actually the prince with the most hope of ascending to the throne, so the second prince sent someone to assassinate the four princes, and the person who finally ascended the throne was also the second prince. If it was the second prince who ascended the throne in this life, he knew that he had saved the fourth prince, and he would definitely not be pleased. Therefore, the four princes can only be supported to ascend to the throne. I remember that the second prince launched the forced palace next spring, and he was already in the palace at that time, and he had an understanding of how the second prince forced the palace and when he forced the palace, if he told the four princes in advance, then the four princes would be ready to deal with the second prince, and wouldn't the last one become the fourth prince? The more Zhang Mutou thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Dexing, what's wrong with you? Is it sick? Second Brother Zhang was startled when he saw Zhang Mutou's appearance, and hurriedly asked.

"Second brother, I'm not sick." Zhang Mutou hurriedly said, "I just thought of some things, and I was a little excited." ”

"What excites you so much?" Second Brother Zhang asked worriedly and suspiciously.

"Second brother, do you know why the county magistrate returned my innocence and let me go?" Zhang Mutou asked, he felt that he would tell the truth to Second Brother Zhang. The second brother is no better than his father, and he will only become his help after knowing the truth.

"Didn't the county magistrate let you go after investigating the truth of the matter?"
