The first assistant girl has space

Chapter 94 094 Low Status
In a family, once someone becomes a catcher, members of his family within three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

Even the inside of the Yamen is full of discrimination against the police——

The "Daqing Law Code" stipulates that arresters cannot enter or leave the main gate of the yamen, cannot sit in the court hall, and cannot sit at the same table with students, scholars, juren and other famous people, otherwise they will face punishment or criminal detention.

Moreover, not only is there no chance of promotion, even after being arrested, there is no prospect.

There is no formal inheritance from the imperial court for arresting fast, only hereditary conventions. The rules are different in each place, and there is no clear upward path.

Once you become a policeman, there is not much room for advancement. At most, you can be the leader of the policeman, and basically you can't change your identity.

In the eyes of serious eunuchs, the catcher is a pariah.

Moreover, the work of catching fast is difficult and dangerous. They often encounter various emergencies, and if they are not careful, they will be injured or even die.

In modern film and television dramas, it is often seen that the catcher in the yamen is holding a sword to arrest people.

But the actual situation is that when the police go to work, they can only carry chains, hemp ropes and other tools to restrain the suspect's freedom of movement.

As for "controlled knives" such as swords, the police, like ordinary people, have no right to equip them.

This does not mean that the ancient police were strict in "civilized law enforcement", but because of the restriction on the power of the police, not only to prevent them from excessively enforcing the law against the people, but also to worry that they would unite to cause trouble.

However, in actual work, many of the things that the police have to face are vicious "troublemakers".

Especially in some fringe wild lands, the civilization has not yet been civilized, and the folk customs are sturdy.

Among the common people, farmers have the highest proportion, and they rank second among the "scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce".Not to mention being caught without a fight.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for police officers to be injured or even die in the line of duty during the process of catching police officers and handling cases.

In addition to dying in the line of duty, the police are often punished by the yamen.

It is reminded that part of the damage to the police comes from the criminals, and a larger part comes from the officials.

It turned out that once a case occurred in ancient times, the county magistrate would ask the police to solve the case as soon as possible and arrest the culprit.

As for the period of solving the case, there was also a proper term at that time-"ratio limit".

For ordinary cases, the "ratio limit" is generally 5 days; for more difficult and important cases, officials will increase the number of layers to shorten the "ratio limit" to within 3 days.

If the police can solve the case within the deadline, all will be fine.

Once the arrester fails to solve the case within the time limit, the county magistrate will impose a punishment on the arrester in accordance with the regulations.

The arrester who accepted the rod had to get up quickly, regardless of recuperating, and continued to invest in the investigation of the case.

This is not because of how dedicated the police officers are, but because they immediately entered the next "deadline" after being punished.

If the case is still not solved within the next deadline, they will continue to accept the second round of punishment until the case is solved.

Although the executioners of this kind of stick punishment are all "insiders" in the yamen, it is inevitable that the subordinates will be merciful, but if you are not careful, the arrester who accepts the punishment will be bruised.

Everyone in the industry knows that this is not a good job.

Generally speaking, if they could find a way, most of them would not choose such a way to beg for food.

If the father becomes a policeman, but the son does not want to be a policeman, and uses another route to get rid of the identity of a policeman, he will definitely not be able to make a living by being a policeman.

But the world is hard. If one member of the family is a catcher, it means that the family is already poor to a certain extent. As far as their family is concerned, there is no better way out than this.

And once this thing is done, the imperial examination path within three generations will be cut off.

In a family, if there is someone who is a catcher, then he can only mix in this industry.There are people in front of the family, and the people behind will basically follow this path.There are relatively few people who can change careers, and they are not as well-informed as they are now, and there are many outlets...

Unless it has been more than three generations as a catcher, the fourth generation is eligible to take the imperial examination.

"Then what generation of Lu Weiliang's family has been a police officer?" Jiang Wenzhu asked.

Jiang Wenshan's heart also lifted.

Then they heard Aunt Fang say a result that made them very happy: "The third generation."

Seeing the happy expressions on the faces of the two of them, Fang Niang couldn't help showing a smile: "Why don't you say you are lucky? If your affairs are successful, your children will be able to study and become officials."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wenshan's face turned crimson, and she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Jiang Wenzhu asked: "That's good, why isn't he engaged yet, but is there something else going on in the family?"

Aunt Fang said: "That's right, there are some other circumstances, or the little lady is smart."

Jiang Wenzhu: "..."

The person who let go is really talking, saying half and keeping the other half, which is tempting, and he is a good hand.

"What's the situation? Tell me, Aunt Fang." Jiang Wenzhu asked.

There is no way, this decision related to her eldest sister, she must take the initiative and be a fan.

Aunt Fang satisfied her inner vanity, and she didn't lose her appetite: "It's just that his family has many brothers and sisters, a total of seven sons and three daughters."

Jiang Wenzhu: "..."

Was it possible to live like this in ancient times?This is simply worrying. How many pairs are there?If placed in modern times, his mother is simply a great mother.

"He is the youngest son in the family. His parents have passed away, and the family has been separated, but the elder brothers have already married with the help of their parents. There are still him and three younger sisters in the family who are not adults. No one is willing to raise them. , he had no other choice, so he became a policeman under the introduction of his friend to support his three younger sisters."

"Actually, his older brothers are also good friends. Everyone is like reaching out. It's not a problem with their children, but the older brothers have their own families. The daughter-in-law is very powerful, so they don't want to. There are four moles in the family. bottle. And not every brother is good at it, and there are some who are not so good. There are only two brothers who can help them, but of these two brothers, one has become a door-to-door son-in-law, and the other is a mother-in-law. It’s so powerful, I can’t even shoot it.”

"Actually speaking, these brothers are not bad people, but their abilities are limited. Of course, they are not good people. They are so indifferent to their brothers and sisters, so Lu Liangwei and his four brothers and sisters have not been in contact with them these years. gone."
