My identity as an ancient celestial master was exposed by yearning

Chapter 193 The Tricky Behind the Honor

"Peng Peng, what did you say? What was announced?"

Zhang Yixing, who was holding the studio, heard what Peng Yuchang said, and moved over curiously.

"It's the list of ten justices of the peace announced on Hong Kong Island." Peng Yuchang clicked on the news and handed it to Zhang Yixing.

"What is this? Is there any special significance for obtaining this title?"

Zhang Yixing scratched his head, apparently he didn't know much about justices of the peace.

In fact, it's not just him, Xiao Yueyue, Qilin and Zifeng also don't know about it.

"Justice of the Peace is the title on Hong Kong Island that appoints civilians to maintain the peace of the community, prevent illegal punishment and handle some relatively simple legal procedures." Peng Yuchang explained.

"The main duty is to inspect prisons and other detention institutions, and to accept complaints from some detainees, so as to prevent them from being sentenced by the correctional authorities to sentences other than those imposed by the court.

Justices of the peace also supervise and accept oaths and declarations of citizens, making the oath or declaration effective. "

"There is a job among them that you will be more familiar with." Peng Yuchang said with a smile, intending to make a fool of himself.

"Why don't you take a guess?"

"Huh? Familiar? In the entertainment industry?" Xiao Yueyue asked doubtfully.

"I think it should be similar to the previous work, such as review." Qilin thought for a long time, and finally gave a dispensable answer.

"It can't be the Hong Kong Artists Supervision Association, right?" Zhang Yixing expressed his conjecture based on the two people's words.

"Host?" Huang Lei frowned and replied.

"What Mr. Huang said is one of the jobs, but it's not the one I want to talk about." Peng Yuchang, who had been shaking his head before, didn't say until he heard Huang Lei's answer.

"What kind of job is that?" Sister Zifeng couldn't think of what kind of job it was, so she asked directly.

Seeing that it was sister Zifeng who asked, Peng Yuchang didn't dare to continue playing tricks.

After all, she is the one whom Mr. Xiao yearns to take care of the most. If the time comes to make Mr. Xiao unhappy, she will have a BBQ.

"Cough...it's Liuhe Cai who was often seen on TV in the past. The justice of the peace will be in charge of supervising the results of the lottery together with representatives of the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club's sponsoring organizations."

Peng Yuchang seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Liu Tianwang was once awarded."

At this time.

"It's just a title, don't you guys know what's tricky about being a justice of the peace?" Xiao Chen said with a little disdain.

!!!

!!!

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone stared at Xiao Chen with wide eyes.

Is there still something unknown about the title of Justice of the Peace?
Not just yearning for people.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked by Xiao Chen's words.

Although they don't know much about this justice of the peace, they also know that this is a very honorable title on Hong Kong Island.

"Grandpa, you also know justices of the peace." After Peng Yuchang said something knowingly, he asked a question that everyone present, including the audience in the live broadcast room, wanted to ask. .

"Is there something we don't know?"

In fact, Xiao Chen knew the answer from their expressions just now, and explained slowly.

"Justice of the Peace, in English is JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, referred to as JP, and in Chinese it is also called magistrate.

Like the knighthood, this title also originated in Yingjili, from the magistrate system.

Originally, magistrates were appointed by the ZF to serve as respected civilians to maintain peace and order in the community. They had the power to judge some simple crimes.

However, after being introduced to Hong Kong Island, this title, like his Chinese translation, is an honorary title, like a moral model, divided into official justices of the peace and non-official justices of the peace.

Because Hong Kong Island regards justices of the peace as a status symbol, many people in the community actively donate money or take public office in order to be appointed as justices of the peace. "

"Huh? It's just a title, what's the use of that." Peng Yuchang pouted.

He has always thought that it would be difficult to obtain this honorary title, but he did not expect to be appointed by donating money.

"It's useless now, but it was still useful in the past."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said.

"Because in the past, justices of the peace had the power to maintain local social order, so once there was a disturbance of order, justices of peace could organize and command the residents present or nearby to work together to maintain order at the scene. If the disturbers did not obey their stop or advise , will be arrested and imprisoned for a minimum of three months without bail.”

Seeing yearning, everyone didn't realize how great this power was at the time.

Xiao Chen sighed, and continued: "That is to say, if there is a conflict between two groups of forces, if one of them can get the support of the Justice of the Peace, then that side can justifiably say that it is helping the Justice of the Peace to maintain order and stop the conflict. If the other party commits violence, it is fine if the other party does not act, but if he does, he will be arrested and imprisoned for three months."

!!!

!!!

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it.

Doesn't that mean that as long as you have a good relationship with a justice of the peace, you can walk sideways on Hong Kong Island.

If there is a conflict with others, it can still be settled in the name of a justice of the peace.

"Is this okay? It's too outrageous." Zhang Yixing said in disbelief.

However, Xiao Chen said with a sneer: "Don't think that the justices of the peace now grant our people, but in fact these rights were given to the group of armed traffickers in Yingjili before."

"Pirates were rampant near Hong Kong Island at that time. In order to prevent their goods from being robbed, those Yingjili merchants could only arm their cargo ships and recruit armed sailors. In order to give these merchants a reasonable reason for armed trafficking, the so-called security committee was established. The titles granted by these businessmen to the Security Committee, when they were translated into Chinese, were concocted by the master out of thin air as an elegant title of Justice of the Peace."

"Later, there were more and more wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island, and through their wealth, they gradually became justices of the peace. Of course, they could not have their own armed forces, but they also raised a group of thugs who were responsible for surrounding the wharf and grabbing berths for themselves. , in addition to that, powers such as trial cases have also been taken back."

Speaking of which.

Xiao Chen looked up at them, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Now do you still think it is a very honorable thing to be awarded a Justice of the Peace?"

Peng Yuchang and the others, who were still very excited before, lowered their heads silently, all speechless.

The audience in the live broadcast room was even more in an uproar.

None of them thought that justices of the peace had such a history.

no doubt.

The title of Justice of the Peace is just a tool used by the Yingjili people in the past.

There were people who were proud of it before.

I couldn't help but gag.
