back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 284 Robbery
The guards who were guarding Wang Yuanshi watched a vigorous figure stepping on the roadside peddler's stall, and with a little help, he jumped onto the roof.Immediately afterwards, a masked man also quickly shot a crossbow arrow at the figure.

The figure narrowly dodged the attacking crossbow arrows and continued to pursue.The masked man threw the crossbow that was too late to be wound at the approaching figure, but was swept off the roof by the long sword.The bow and crossbow rolled slowly and finally fell off the roof, taking two pieces of blue tiles with it.

"There are thieves!!!"

Looking at the standard bow and crossbow that fell on the ground, those yamen servants finally came to their senses. They pulled out the simple knives from their waists, pulled Wang Yuanshi, who had not had time to react, into the foot shop, and then shouted: "Xianzai!" People wait to avoid!"

At this moment, the yamen servant with the bamboo whistle had already found out the bamboo whistle.Only a sharp and rapid whistle sounded, which immediately alarmed the jailers in the sky prison and the arresters of Dali Temple. Before they had time to think, they quickly picked up the simple knife and rushed to the street.

Wang Yuanshi's indifferent expression finally seemed a little panicked. Looking at the crossbow arrows on the pillar not far away, the blue swaying made his eyes hurt.He could only hear him muttering: "They are going to kill people to silence them, kill people to silence them!"

It's a pity that his voice was too low. The panic-stricken yamen servants around him had never seen anything like assassinating the court's criminals in the street. They didn't have a backbone, and they were in a mess.They didn't know how many enemies had come. Whether it was out of the idea of ​​saving their lives or of devotion to their duties, they tried their best to hide Wang Yuanshi in the foot shop, and they would not expose their vitals.

The most innocent one was the customer who was eating in the foot shop, but he didn't know what was going on, so he shot a crossbow arrow.Seeing the opportunity quickly, he got under the table in fright.After others came to their senses, they did the same.It's just that he was a little too flustered, and knocked down the food on the table, and the soup was dripping, soaking his clothes.

In just half a quarter of an hour, the jailer in the prison arrived.The situation represented by the bamboo whistle cannot be used in non-emergency situations.All the guards in the prison knew the meaning of the bamboo whistle.It's just that since the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, there have been very few such cases.Who is so bold, dare to make trouble in the capital?

After the jailer arrived, the arrester arrived on the back foot.The two groups together, nearly 200 people, controlled the surrounding streets.It's a pity that whether it was the person who shot the crossbow arrows to assassinate, or the figure who helped Wang Yuanshi escape the catastrophe, they all disappeared on the row upon row of roofs at an extremely fast speed.

After the police arrived, they immediately asked, "What's the matter? You can't even look down on a prisoner. What's the use of you?"

Among the subordinate officials, the status of the fast catcher is always higher than that of the yamen servant.The policemen are equivalent to the policemen of later generations, while the yamen servants are handymen, and they do all the hard work, tiring work, and dirty work.It is precisely because of this that it is natural for the police to look down on the yamen servants.

A yamen servant stammered out the whole story, and the policemen were taken aback.Even the important criminals of the imperial court dare to assassinate them. If they are successfully robbed and killed by the robbers, where will the imperial court face?

The most painful thing is that if the thief cannot be caught, the little emperor blames them, and they can't afford to go around!Catching fast is a tolerance, and it is a tolerance with better treatment.Although they are petty officials, they are eating the emperor's food.Although he can't take scientific examinations, he is superior to ordinary subordinate officials.It is lower than Zhimaguan, but the treatment is not bad.After all, Dashun can be regarded as a humane dynasty after all. The police often face criminal gangs such as vicious snitches. If they are not skilled in martial arts, the death rate is very high.In order to continue this "low business" in the eyes of the common people, the imperial court naturally had to pay a salary to win people's hearts.

The catchers of the Dashun Dynasty were different from the catchers in the TV dramas of later generations. Most of the time they were dressed in casual clothes, with an iron plate hanging around their waists to identify themselves.When wearing casual clothes, you can't carry a knife to investigate, you can only carry iron rulers and ropes.When arresting Wang Yang's bandit, martial arts were very much considered.These villainous Wang Yang bandits are generally good at martial arts, and they have a variety of weapons, making them hard to defend against.A policeman who is not skilled in martial arts will die in a single encounter.

And they can only wear swords when they are wearing ordinary clothes, that is, the official clothes of the police.Because the knife is a control weapon, a knife has more functions on the battlefield than a sword.Therefore, the catchers who usually wear casual clothes, whether they are head catchers or ordinary catchers, can only carry an iron ruler.

The prison guards in the sky prison are different. There are not many prisoners in the sky prison, but those are all important criminals of the court.Therefore, the jailers are all equipped with simple knives, which is very necessary to prevent people from robbing the prison.After all, the traffic in Chang'an City is so large, who is the robber, can't they still have their face engraved?

After the yamen servant finished speaking, he said with a mournful face, "Captain, what should we do now?"

The catcher was a big man who looked like a bearded man, with a bearded face that looked extremely rough.Using a white silk scarf, he pulled out the crossbow bolt nailed to the pillar, observed it carefully, and then said lightly: "Take the prisoner back to the prison first, and then report to Siqing Ren. As for How to write the memorial, it is..."

Before he could finish speaking, another group of people arrived and pulled all the arresters around the door aside.The leader immediately asked, "Who played the bamboo whistle?"

The disgust in the head catcher's eyes flashed, because he couldn't afford to offend these people in front of him.He was just a salaried catcher, he didn't even have a senior official, but the person in front of him had a real official position.

These people can be regarded as another example of the Dashun Dynasty motivating people to make progress.They were nothing more than frontier soldiers before, but they were able to enter the Supervision Department because of their outstanding military exploits.That's right, they are all inspectors.It's just that the leader is the team leader of the inspectors, and the officers are the same, they are all from the eighth rank officer.

The difference between officials and officials in the Dashun Dynasty is like that of the Jing River and the Wei River.No matter how small an official is, he is still an official; no matter how powerful your official is, he is nothing more than a subordinate official.The county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and the first-level official crushes people to death, that's what it says.

Although the head arrest was not fast, facing the inspector he couldn't offend, he still lowered his head: "Return to the inspector, someone just wanted to kill the important criminal of the court."

The team leader was taken aback: "But Wang Yuanshi from the Taiyuan royal family who is being tried today?"

"Exactly!"

"Whether the thief succeeded or not?"

"I didn't succeed, but I left evidence here, a crossbow arrow."

Hearing that nothing happened, the inspector team leader breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Quickly take the prisoner back to the dungeon, and I will report to His Majesty after this time, and ask His Majesty to order you." After finishing speaking, a group of inspectors left in a hurry. go.

Seeing these inspectors walk away, the head catcher spat, and thought to himself: "What is it, isn't it just luck, so arrogant!"

I don't even think about arresting the head. If it wasn't for the establishment of the Supervision Department, he would still be extorting the people of Chang'an and setting up various schemes to collect benefits!Comparing the inspectors with him, the behavior is like a villain and a gentleman. You can tell who is a villain and who is a gentleman at a glance.
