094 Low Status

Once someone from a family becomes a policeman, members of his family within three generations are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

Even within the company's Yamen, there is also discrimination against police officers——

The "Daqing Code" stipulates that police officers cannot enter or leave the main entrance of the Yamen, cannot sit in the court, and cannot sit at the same table with officials, scholars, officials and other distinguished people, otherwise they will face the punishment of a cane or criminal detention.

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

There is no official establishment and inheritance of the imperial court, only hereditary inheritance by convention. The rules are different in each place, and there is no clear path for advancement.

Once you become an agent, there is not much room for advancement. At most, you can become the leader of the agents. Basically, you cannot change your identity. Even if you get ahead in life, you will still be despised by others.

In the eyes of serious eunuchs, the catchers were untouchables.

Moreover, the work of an agent is difficult and dangerous. He often encounters various emergencies. If he is not careful, he may be injured or even die.

In modern film and television dramas, we often see scenes of police officers in government offices holding swords and arrogantly arresting people.

But the actual situation is that when police officers go on errands, they can only carry chains, hemp ropes and other tools with them to restrict the suspect's freedom of movement.

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

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

Jiang Wenzhu: "..."

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

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

In addition to dying in the line of duty, police officers were often punished within the yamen.

If the father becomes a policeman and the son does not want to be called that, he will find another way to get rid of his identity as a policeman. He will definitely not be able to make a living by being a policeman.

Once the police officer fails to solve the case within the specified time limit, the county magistrate must impose a cane on the police officer in accordance with regulations.

Aunt Fang satisfied her inner vanity and did not lose her appetite: "He has many brothers and sisters, a total of seven sons and three daughters."

However, in actual work, many of the things that police officers have to deal with are extremely vicious "tricksters".

Generally speaking, if they can find a way out, most people will not choose this way to beg for food.

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

Among the common people, farmers account for the highest proportion, and they rank second among "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants". If they are really forced into a hurry, how can they be afraid of the "untouchable" policemen? They will not be arrested without hesitation.

Aunt Fang said: "Yes, there are some other circumstances. Otherwise, the little lady is smart."

"So which generation of Lu Weiliang's family has been a policeman?" Jiang Wenzhu asked.

And once you do this, your path to the imperial examination will be cut off for three generations.

If the case cannot be solved within the next deadline, the case will continue to be punished for the second round until the case is solved.

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

Although the executioners of this kind of stick punishment are all "ones" in the yamen, and it is inevitable to be merciful, but if you are not careful, the skin and flesh of the policeman who accepts the punishment will be bruised.

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

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

Jiang Wenzhu asked: "That's great. Why hasn't he gotten engaged yet, but there are other things going on at home?"

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

Seeing the joy on their faces, the eldest lady couldn't help but smile: "How about you being lucky? If your affairs are successful, your children will be able to study and become officials."

Unless they have been serving as agents for more than three generations, only those in the fourth generation are eligible to take the imperial examination.

This is not because the police officers are so dedicated, but because after the punishment, they immediately enter the next "competition period."

"What's going on? Madam Fang, tell me quickly." Jiang Wenzhu asked.

The person who released it was very talkative. He said half of it would be left and half of it would be interesting. He was a very good player.

Jiang Wenshan's heart also lifted.

However, the world is hard. If one person in a family becomes a policeman, it means that this family has reached a certain level of poverty. As far as their family is concerned, there is no better way out than this.

The police officer who accepted the punishment of the rod had to get up quickly, regardless of recovering from his injuries, and continued to devote himself to the investigation of the case.

What's worrying is that part of the damage to the police came from the criminals, and a larger part came from the officials.

If there is a person in a family who works as a police officer, then he can only work in this industry. If there are people in the front of the family, the people behind will basically follow this path. There are relatively few people who can change careers, and it is not like now.

Information is developed and there are many channels...

Jiang Wenzhu: "..."

Especially in some bordering wild places, civilization has not yet been civilized and the folk customs are fierce.

This does not mean that ancient police officers strictly enforced the law in a "civilized manner", but rather it was a restriction on the power of the police officers, not only to prevent them from excessively enforcing the law on the people, but also to worry about them joining together to cause trouble.

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

Is it possible to have children in ancient times? How many couples are there to worry about? If it were placed in modern times, she would be a great mother.

"He is the youngest son in the family. His parents have passed away and the family has been separated. However, his brothers have already gotten married with the help of their parents. There are still him and three younger sisters in the family, and no one is willing to raise them.

, he had no choice but to work as a police agent under the introduction of his friends to support his three younger sisters."

"Actually, some of his brothers are also doing well. Everyone has a hand, and there are no problems with their children. But the brothers have their own families, and their wives are very powerful. They don't want to. There are four drags in the family.

Ping. And not every brother is doing well, there are also some who are doing worse. There are only two brothers who can help them. But of these two brothers, one is a son-in-law who has no ambitions, and the other is a mother-in-law.

It’s so powerful that I can’t take action at all.”

"Actually speaking, these brothers are not bad people, but their abilities are limited. Of course, they are not good people either. They are so indifferent to their brothers and sisters. Therefore, Lu Liangwei and his four brothers have stopped interacting with their brothers in recent years.

Already."
