Chapter 270 The God of Plague Enters the Door
Jiang Yinzhi is proud of the spring breeze!
However, he only kept this pride in his heart, and he still behaved modestly and cautiously to the outside world.

Now that he is a fifth-rank official, he is already able to go to court.

Although he stood at the end, he dared not slack off for a day.

Every day in the morning at the courthouse, no matter standing or sitting, the back is straight.

There is no stain or wrinkle on the official robes. Every day when I get home, I have to iron it with an iron and hang it on a special hanger.

Jiang Yinzhi used to be in the middle and lower levels, and the people around him were also of a similar level to him.

The vast majority of people are diligent and serious.

Only now did he know that these high officials of the imperial court, apart from being quite serious in front of the emperor, they actually love to joke in private.

Not only that, but they often take pleasure in talking about the privacy of each family.

For example, the concubine that Shang Shuxin accepted was actually the oiran of the Hualou in Dongdu.

A servant's son lost a house by gambling.

Or a certain general got up too hastily and put on his fat wife's flowery pants by mistake.

A cook from a certain family stole meat, and a certain family lost their account books...

Jiang Yinzhi couldn't help but sigh, as long as a person stands tall enough, he has the capital to be free.

But he also knows that the road under his feet is still long.

However, as far as the current paragraph is concerned, he is quite complacent.

The Zong family has already decided to marry Jiang Qing, although the date of the marriage has not yet been decided, it will be a matter of time.

Jiang Yinzhi also knew that many people were discussing this matter.

Some people even asked him face to face, it was obviously the elder daughter's marriage, why was it replaced by the younger daughter?

Jiang Yinzhi only vaguely mentioned it.

He didn't feel ashamed at all. Although they used some tricks, whose family's prosperity and wealth can't be calculated?
He just replaced his daughter's marriage, and some people climbed up by stepping on corpses. Isn't he also full of benevolence and morality in front of people?

Today, Jiang Yin is still standing in the last class of civil servants in the court.

Dispersed and went out of the palace gate, Jiang Yin got on the horse, and his entourage led the horse home.

After walking for a while, he found someone following behind him, and when he looked back, he was startled.

It turned out that Huo Tian, ​​Duke of Dingbei, was riding his blue-headed 騧, which was bestowed by the emperor, walking behind unhurriedly.

Huo Tian was the youngest duke in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and was highly appreciated by the emperor.

Their Huo family has outstanding military exploits, and the previous generations have all died in battle.Up to now, only Huo Tian's lineage is left, and even he himself has been exiled by the Huns for more than ten years, and only fled back to the capital the year before last.

This Mr. Huo is only 25 or [-] years old, but he is born with a cold face, unsmiling, and treats everyone coldly.

It is said that no one has ever seen him smile, anyway, Jiang Yinzhi has never seen him.

He was quite in awe of this young minister, and only felt that his city was deep and his methods were ruthless.

He is often not in the capital, and he always acts on behalf of the emperor according to a secret decree.

The court officials also tend to keep Huo Tian at a respectful distance.

Of course, at the beginning, they still wanted to get married with him, but Huo Tian mercilessly refused no matter whose family's daughter it was.

The officials who lost face were first ashamed and resentful, and then suspicious.

Because Huo Tian not only doesn't marry, he doesn't even accept concubines, and he doesn't go shopping in flower houses.

All the officials suddenly realized that he was the one who couldn't do it!

This kind of statement was widely spread in private, and of course Jiang Yinzhi had heard of it.

But what he heard was what he heard, and he didn't dare to talk about it.

At first glance, this is a master who his six relatives do not recognize, not to mention that his six relatives have long since died.

The emperor's reliance on him must have taken this into consideration. These ministers in the imperial court have intertwined relationships with each other and form cliques. It is not easy to be truly impartial and selfless.

But Huo Tian could just do it.

Jiang Yinzhi remembered someone's evaluation of Huo Tian: He is just a sharp sword out of its sheath, with a cold heart and a cold face, killing people without blinking an eye.

Although he was older than Huo Tian, ​​his official status was at stake, so Jiang Yin ordered his entourage to pull the horse aside to make way for Huo Tian.

"Grandpa Huo, you go first." Jiang Yinzhi stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Who would have thought that Huo Tian stopped the horse, with a cold face, and did not speak.

Jiang Yinzhi was terrified, thinking that he might have kissed the wrong ass, maybe Mr. Huo just wanted to take his time and leave.

So he hurriedly said with a smile: "I think it's because I'm a low-ranking official, so please feel free, my lord."

After speaking, he asked his followers to lead the horse and continue to walk forward, but he still walked along the side of the road and gave way to the middle.

But Huo Tian just followed behind him and didn't go forward.

After walking through the main street, Jiang Yinzhi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Lord Huo would not go the same way as him this time, because Dingbei's mansion was in the opposite direction.

But before he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that even though he turned to another street, Huo Tian still followed him leisurely.

Does he have something to do?Jiang Yinzhi thought to himself.

But when he thought that Huo Tian was right behind him, he still felt a little uncomfortable, so he quietly ordered his followers to leave quickly.

After walking for a while, he turned back quietly.

But he found that there was still a distance of about ten feet between Huo Tian and himself.

Jiang Yinzhi was terrified, and the hairs all over his body stood up!
Why does he keep following him?Do you want to check yourself?Check for what?
Since he came to Beijing, he has been cautious and dare not engage in any malpractice in his official position, for fear of being caught by others and ruining his future.

It's not because of business, is it because of Jiang Qing's marriage?

But this is just a private matter of my own family, did it also alarm the court?Or did someone tell the secret that there was a conspiracy here?

Jiang Yinzhi was getting more and more panicked, but he still tried his best to keep calm.

Many days have passed since this incident, what can we find out if we investigate again?Moreover, at the time of the incident, Madam had already erased all traces.

He was flustered in his heart, and hoped that Huo Tian following behind him was just a coincidence, maybe after turning another street, he would walk away.

Finally he turned into Tsing Yi Lane, the door of his house was not far away.

But Huo Tian still followed behind him, Jiang Yinzhi didn't need to turn his head, he knew it just by hearing the sound.

He only felt a chill coming from the back of his neck, and he got off the horse stiffly, and tried his best to force a smile to meet Huo Tian's cold face.

"Today is really a coincidence, Mr. Huo actually passed by Xiaguan's house. If you don't mind, you can come in and have a cup of tea." Jiang Yinzhi said politely, but actually hoped that Huo Tian would continue to move forward.

"Okay." Who would have thought that Huo Tian got off his horse and agreed to his request.

Jiang Yinzhi wanted to bite off his tongue. If he pretended to see him and walked into the house, would he not come?

But no matter how regretful it was, it was useless, the words had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be very happy to invite Huo Tian in.

"The official's house is shabby, please forgive me for being rude." Jiang Yinzhi smiled until his face turned sore, this kind of reluctant smile was particularly tiring.

Huo Tian didn't speak, and with his hands behind his back, he crossed the threshold with one step of his long legs.

Jiang Yinzhi felt that he had invited back a plague god.
