Poor Family

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

"Is there any need to be so afraid? They haven't committed any crimes. The Special Investigations Division will arrest people on the street for no reason, right?" Shi Fuxin felt that everyone's reaction was overdone.

Manager Shi's face 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 are talking about how terrifying they are?"

Manager Shi's face was full of apprehension: "Miss Six, the Special Investigation Division is extremely powerful, and their eyes and ears are all over the city. They are outside. If we can not 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?"

Director Shi 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 Chief Manager Shi was really afraid of the Special Investigation Division, and shook his head at the four children.

After that, everyone didn't mention Special Examinations.

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 went back to Shifu.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Director 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 they frightened the old slave."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shi was silent for a while: "Thank you for your hard work today, I will tell them about the special inspection department, you can go down and do your work."

When it was time to eat dinner, Shi Zheng and his family came to Yixiang Hall, Mrs. Shi called them to her front, asked about the shopping situation, and finally brought up Special Investigations.

"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 bloody 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 emperor's relatives will not be able to save face."

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

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

Shi Fuxin still didn't understand: "Grandmother, in view of 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?"

Mrs. Shi glanced at Shi Fuxin, thought for a while, and waved her hand to make all the maids in the room retreat, leaving only Madam An to serve: "Why do you think the emperor set up a special investigation department?"

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

Mrs. Shi nodded: "The late emperor gave birth to a total of seven princes, and the emperor was ranked fourth. He was neither the elder 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's position was wrong."

Shi Fuxin felt a little clearer: "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 ascended the throne, 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 of that year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a bloodbath."

"Because he killed too many people, it's 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 bloody things."

Hearing this, Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin with a slightly different gaze, and she was surprised by the depth of her granddaughter's understanding of the problem.

For such an important matter 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.

Mrs. Shi thought for a while before she 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, the harem, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and the emperor is often restrained."

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.

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 Inspection Division just a murderous knife in the hands of the emperor!

Shi Zheng and his family were very silent, the killing knife in the emperor's hand made people feel fearful and fearful, no wonder the manager Shi and the people in the city avoided it so much.

After all, 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 inspection department was the emperor's bargaining chip in the game with various forces. It was a good thing that the emperor always won.

This kind of existence probably has no good results!

Why did Master Ye choose to take such a path?

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

Mrs. Shi suddenly sighed: "The Director Ye of the Special Investigation Department is actually a poor man. He was born in Changlehou Mansion. Changlehou Mansion, like our Wuchangbo Mansion, 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's background was not low, they didn't expect that he would be the son of the Hou family!

Mrs. Shi nodded her head: "The Changle Marquis Mansion used to be a well-known dignitary in the capital, but it's a pity that Jianxing was implicated in the Prince Regent's case in the 20th year, 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."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin and the others became more silent.

Ye Mo has hatred in his heart, Shi Fuxin can clearly feel this, if he has no worries in his heart, it is impossible for him to 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.

Mrs. Shi 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 don't have a chance to know that 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 in silence 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, Special Investigations has ransacked families and exterminated families everywhere, and offended countless people. Now that they have the support of the emperor, 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 Director of the Special Investigation Department."

Mrs. Shi 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 obstacles."

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

Shi Fuxin: "Special Superintendent? 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 moment, a servant girl's announcement sounded outside, saying that Master Shi and Mrs. Shi had arrived.

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