Great Xia Kingdom, Chang 'an City.
Vermilion Bird Street.
Zhang Chen was wearing the uniform of the Six Fan School, with a standard longsword hanging at his waist. His pair of eyes flashed with a sharp light as he scanned the pedestrians one after another.
A constable protecting the family and the people was a very important profession in any country.
However, the importance of one's occupation did not mean that one's status was high.
The law of the Great Xia Dynasty stipulated that constables were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations.
Many constables inherited their father's career from generation to generation. Those who had the ability would change careers and go into business after earning enough money.
Although the social status of merchants was lower, their descendants could participate in the imperial examination.
Zhang Chen's mother had transmigrated. In this life, he was born into a constable family and had followed his father in martial arts since he was young.
Half a month ago, his father passed away due to a hidden injury in his early years. Zhang Chen successfully inherited his position and became an internal constable. At the same time, he activated the Divine Constable System.
The so-called Divine Constable System was naturally related to capturing criminals.
As long as he caught the criminal, Zhang Chen would be able to obtain all kinds of benefits from the system.
He could obtain everything from the system, from gold and silver treasures to peerless divine techniques.
The higher the status of the criminal, the stronger the strength, the greater the benefits!
However, what made Zhang Chen depressed was that he was only a constable with a wooden badge. He had no chance to come into contact with big shots.
Ever since he activated the system, although he had captured many criminals, the rewards he received were basically low-level martial arts or gold and silver treasures. He did not obtain any of the peerless divine techniques mentioned by the system.
In order to get more rewards, he had to keep his eyes wide open when he patrolled the streets, hoping to catch a few fish that escaped the net.
The Six Fan School stipulated that constables had to form a team of two when they went out to patrol.
Zhang Chen also had a partner, but that partner was a real bad cop. It was already good enough that he was not busy looting everywhere. How could he possibly accompany him on patrol under the scorching sun?
In fact, what that partner did was the norm.
The Great Xia Kingdom had existed for 300 years, and it had gradually gone from prosperity to decay.
The entire officialdom was rotten, and the Six Fan School was no exception.
Most of the constables were either listening to music in the bars or tea houses or gambling in the gambling dens.
A person as serious as Zhang Chen could be said to be one in a hundred.
……
It was noon, and the sun was getting hotter.
Zhang Chen walked into a teahouse and was about to order some wine and dishes to enjoy when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter not far away.
Then, someone rushed into the inn and said to him,"Officer, there's someone outside harassing an innocent woman, please go and take a look!”
"There's such a thing? Quickly bring me there!"
Zhang Chen frowned slightly. Anyone who dared to flirt with an innocent woman on the street under the feet of the emperor must be either rich or noble.
Low-level constables were most afraid of such things. If they did not handle it well, it was very likely that their entire family would be harmed.
He couldn't ignore it either. If he sat idly by and was reported, the crime of dereliction of duty would definitely be unavoidable.
However, this was an opportunity for Zhang Chen.
Rich or noble? Wouldn't that make him a big shot? The person he wanted to capture the most now was a big shot.
After walking a few steps out of the door, he saw a noble young master with a few attendants stopping a beautiful woman from touching her.
There were already quite a number of passers-by who had gathered nearby to watch the show. At this moment, they were discussing animatedly.
"In broad daylight, they actually dare to flirt with an innocent woman. These silkpants are getting more and more outrageous!”
"Sigh! Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the world has become more and more turbulent. In the end, she is a woman, but she can't convince the masses!”
"Nonsense! Her Majesty was a good emperor, and her policies were good. It was only because some scoundrels deceived the emperor and did not do their job properly that the government became a mess.”
"That's right. These noble young masters all have powerful people backing them up. Martial Emperor has just ascended the throne not long ago and needs to rely on the powerful people to stabilize his position. These dogs only dared to act recklessly because they were protected by the nobles. This was not His Majesty's fault.”
"Shh! How dare you say such things? Be careful not to get yourself killed if you're heard!”
……
When he got closer and took a closer look, the noble young master did not even have an Adam's apple. He was clearly a fake young master dressed as a man.
The woman was even stranger. She looked embarrassed and angry, but she didn't seem to panic.
A woman teasing another woman?
Zhang Chen felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think. He showed his waist token and scolded,"Stop! In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, he actually dared to flirt with an innocent woman? Come with me to Six Fan School!"
When the fake young master saw the constable, a strange look flashed across his eyes, but his expression did not change at all.
She examined Zhang Chen and said arrogantly,""A wooden token dares to meddle in my business. Do you know who I am?”
The constables of Six Fan School were divided into seven grades, which were wooden, iron, bronze, silver, gold, title, and traveling god.
" The Great Xia laws state that anyone who molests a good woman on the streets will be punished with a light punishment of caning and imprisonment," Zhang Chen said indifferently." The heavy punishment is castration and beheading. Although I am only a constable with a wooden badge, I have to do my best.”
The fake young master chuckled and said leisurely,""If I don't follow you to Six Fan School, what will you do?”
Zhang Chen's eyes turned cold as he said expressionlessly,"Six Fan School is not a place where you can go and not go as you please. Since you violated the law, you have to go.”
