Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 91, Killing Knife

   Meeting Ye Mo by chance, Shi Zheng and his family were very happy, but hearing the discussions around him, knowing that he is now the director of the special inspection department that makes everyone in the capital fearful, the whole family is a little silent.

   "Is there any need to be so scared? They haven't committed any crimes. People from the Special Investigation Department won't arrest people on the street for no reason, right?" Shi Fuxin felt that everyone's reaction was overdone.

   Manager Shi's complexion changed drastically when he heard it. If he hadn't considered his identity, he would have stepped forward and covered Shi Fuxin's mouth: "Miss Six, speak carefully."

  Seeing Director Shi's solemn expression, Shi Fuxin was even more puzzled: "I said something wrong? Could it be that the Special Investigation Department really arrests people on the street for no reason?"

Manager Shi looked around in panic, and then quickly led Shi Zheng and his family to an open place, then lowered his voice and said, "Miss Six, stop talking, you just came to the capital, and you don't know that the special inspector How terrifying."

  Shi Fuxin: "Then you tell me how scary they are?"

  Shi’s manager’s face was full of apprehension: "Miss Six, the Special Investigation Division is powerful, and their eyes and ears are all over the city. Outside, if we can’t mention the Special Investigation Division, we will try our best not to mention it."

  Shi Fuxin frowned: "You can't even mention it? The Special Investigation Division still controls the people's freedom of speech?"

  The manager nodded solemnly: "Otherwise, why do you think everyone is so afraid of Special Investigations? If you say something wrong outside, and the people of Special Investigations hear it, you may be hacked to death in the street."

"how come?!"

  Hearing this, both Shi Dingxuan and Shi Fuyin were shocked.

  Yes, Master Ye is a bit indifferent, but they don't believe that he will kill people casually.

Director Shi sighed, and looked at Shi Zhenghe: "Fourth Master, it's true that Special Investigations can't be mentioned casually outside. If you really want to know, after returning to the mansion, ask the old lady and the old lady in person. They know more than the old slave. gone."

  Shi Zhenghe saw that Manager Shi was really afraid of Special Investigations, and shook his head at the four children.

  Afterwards, no one mentioned Special Examination Division.

  But because of this episode, everyone was not very interested in shopping. After Shi Fuxin bought some spices, herbs, and materials for making rouge and gouache in the West Market, the family returned to Shifu.

  As soon as he returned to the mansion, Manager Shi told Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi that they ran into Special Investigation Division in Xishi.

   "Miss Six and the others inquired about Special Chasi on the street, but the old slave was frightened."

   After hearing this, the old lady was silent for a while: "You have worked hard today, and I will tell them about the special inspection department. Go down and get busy."

  During dinner, Shi Zheng and his family came to Yixiangtang, Mrs. Shi called them to her, asked about the shopping situation, and finally brought up the Special Investigation Department.

   "The Special Inspection Division is a department established by the current emperor after he ascended the throne. It specializes in monitoring officials and collecting evidence of various crimes such as treason and treason inside and outside the court."

   "As soon as they make a move, it is a big case and a **** case. The nobles and officials in the capital are unwilling to deal with them, let alone have the slightest involvement with them."

   "Boss Shi didn't let you mention it outside to avoid trouble. With Special Chassis, not to mention the earl, even the royal relatives will not be able to save face."

   "In the future, when you meet people from the Special Investigation Division, you should avoid it as much as possible."

  After Shi Zheng and his family heard this, their eyes were a little gloomy.

  Shi Fuxin still didn't understand: "Grandmother, given the duties of the Special Investigation Department, it is understandable for the officials to be afraid, but why are the people in the city so afraid? Can't even mention it?"

  Old Madam Shi glanced at Shi Fuxin, thought for a while, and waved her hand to make all the maids in the room retreat, leaving only Nanny An to serve: "Why do you think the Emperor set up the Special Investigation Department?"

  Shi Fuxin: "Prevent someone from conspiring to rebel."

  The old lady nodded: "The late emperor gave birth to a total of seven princes, and the emperor ranked fourth. He was neither the eldest son nor the first son, nor was he the favored youngest son, but in the end he was the one who ascended to the throne."

   As he spoke, he paused.

   "In the year when the emperor ascended the throne, rumors arose in the capital, all saying that the emperor was not in the right position."

  Shi Fuxin had some understanding in her heart: "So, in order to suppress the rumors, the people from the Special Investigation Department wantonly killed people in the city?"

Mrs. Shi was silent, and gave an unbiased answer: "It's not true that the Special Inspection Division killed people at will, but in the year the emperor took the throne, many people died in Beijing, some were honorable officials, some It was ordinary people, and the main streets of the inner and outer cities were all stained red with blood."

   "The honorable officials were killed mostly because they were involved in the battle for the throne. The main ones who competed with the emperor for the throne were King Fu and King Kang. After the emperor came to power, King Fu, King Kang, and their henchmen would naturally be held accountable."

"Most of the people were killed because of the desperate counterattack of King Fu, King Kang and their henchmen. They bewitched the people, incited the people to make trouble, and talked about the emperor's injustice in the city. Wrist suppression."

   "The capital city in that year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a bloodbath."

   "Because too many people have been killed, it is normal for Special Examinations to be feared and feared."

Shi Fuxin still couldn't figure it out: "Extreme means are used in extraordinary times. That special period has passed. Now that the emperor has been on the throne for four years, the rebellious party should be almost wiped out. The Special Investigation Department will definitely not be the same as before. Everyone shouldn't be so afraid of **** things."

  After hearing this, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin with a slightly different gaze, and she was surprised by how deeply her granddaughter saw the problem.

   As for such important affairs in the court, among the women in the family, she can only chat with Mrs. Shi, who was raised as a clan wife, and the others can't even catch up.

  After thinking for a while, the old lady said: "The court is not the emperor's hall of speech. The civil servants, military officials, family members, nobles, as well as the emperor's relatives, and the harem, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and the emperor is often constrained."

  Shi Fuxin understood, looked at her family, and said with a heavy tone, "So, the Special Investigation Division is actually a murder knife in the hands of the emperor to control the court and eliminate dissidents!"

  The tone was affirmative, without any hesitation.

  Old Madam Shi's eyes brightened, she looked at Shi Fuxin with deep joy in her eyes.

  There are many grandchildren in the family, but there are very few truly outstanding ones.

  Sister Xin who just came home surprised her so much.

   Isn’t the Special Investigation Department just a murderous knife in the hands of the emperor!

  Shizheng and his family were very silent. The killing knife in the emperor's hand made people feel fearful and fearful.

  Ye Mo is the master who taught them martial arts, Shi Fuxin is not in a good mood at the moment.

  She knew very well that the Special Investigation Division was the emperor's bargaining chip in the game with various forces. It was a good thing that the Emperor always won.

   Such an existence probably has no good results!

  How could Master Ye choose to take such a path?

  Shi Fuxin thought for a while, then looked at Mrs. Shi: "Grandmother, what is the background of the Director of the Special Investigation Department?" How could he go directly to the emperor and be used by the emperor?

  Shi the old lady suddenly sighed: "The Director Ye of the Special Investigation Department is actually a poor man. He was born in the Changlehou Mansion. The Changlehou Mansion is the same as our Wuchangbo Mansion. It is a home of meritorious service in the founding of the country."

  Shi Fuxin's family was shocked: "Changle Hou Mansion?!"

  Although they had already guessed that Ye Mo had a high background, they never expected that he would be the son of the Hou family!

  The old lady nodded her head: "The Changle Marquis Mansion used to be a well-known dignitary in the capital, but it is a pity that Jianxing was implicated in the case of the regent in the past 20 years, and was directly ransacked and exiled."

   "The Ye family is full of families, the males are exiled, and the female relatives are filled into the Jiaofang Division. Now the entire Ye family seems to be left with only Director Ye."

  Listening to this, Shi Fuxin and the others became more silent.

  Ye Mo has a grudge in his heart, which Shi Fuxin can clearly feel, if he had no worries in his heart, he would not have such a desire to survive.

  So, taking over Special Examinations, nine times out of ten he is an important step in the revenge plan.

  The old lady thought of something, and suddenly looked at Shi Zhenghe and the others: "The place where the Ye family was exiled is the Northwest Frontier Pass. It seems to be near Dieling Pass. Do you know that Director Ye?"

  Shi Fuxin said directly: "I don't know! Dieling Pass is such a large area, and every military station is separated by a long distance, we have no chance to know the director."

Mrs. Shi's eyes flicked across the faces of Shi Zhenghe and the others one by one. Seeing that the second son's family all bowed their heads and did not look at her directly, their eyes moved slightly, and finally smiled faintly: "It's best not to know each other. If you do, you can also Pretend not to know."

   "In the past few years, the Special Investigation Division has ransacked families and wiped out families everywhere, and offended countless people. Now they have the support of the emperor, and others dare not act rashly, but people who are familiar with them and have no self-protection ability have no worries."

  Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Grandmother, don't worry, we don't know the chief of the special investigation department."

  The old lady nodded with a smile: "It's good if you don't know each other." After a moment's pause, she continued, "The Special Chassis is very powerful now, but they are not without constraints."

   "After the emperor ascended the throne, in addition to the establishment of the Special Inspection Division, he also established a Special Inspection Division. These two departments supervise each other."

  Shi Fuxin: "Special supervisor? He also murdered?"

Mrs. Shi shook her head: "The special inspector is much more mysterious than the inspector. It mainly collects all kinds of information and rarely shows up in front of people. You can understand that the special inspector is the emperor's eyes and ears, and the special inspector is the emperor's sharp knife." .”

  At this time, a servant girl announced from outside, saying that Master Shi and Mrs. Shi have come.

   "Okay, let's stop here for today, let someone pass the meal on."
