People who have watched costume dramas know that the ancient method of catching fugitives is actually no different from modern times, they are all put on the prisoner's appearance characteristics, and then describe the prisoner's address, where they fled, and finally call on everyone to provide clues together, but there is a little difference, that is, the ancient "wanted order" is too abstract, basically only the approximate appearance characteristics, if this person is slightly disguised, may stand in front of you, you do not know that this person is the person on the painting, Many costume dramas have shots of wanted people standing in front of the notice to see their portraits, and the onlookers know nothing.
In fact, strictly speaking, costume dramas are not restored, because there is a very strange phenomenon in ancient times, that is, as long as it is posted with a notice, if it is not escaped to the end of the world, there is no possibility of escape. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a celebrity Wu Zixu who was made a portrait by King Chu Ping and pasted it all over the Chu Kingdom, forcing Wu Zixu to have nowhere to escape and had to flee to other countries to save his life, which shows that we feel that there is no practical "wanted order", and it is not so unbearable, and it can even be said that it is "a hundred tests and a lark".
So why is the "wanted warrant" so abstract that it can still catch people? There are many reasons, the biggest reason is that there are 13 words written on it, and these 13 words determine that the fugitives can't run away at all! You can't run away!
First of all, we must know that in ancient times, if we want to go to the level of wanted, it proves that this matter is very big, and officials up and down must cooperate, so generally as long as this person is wanted, his ancestors have been clearly investigated for eighteen generations, and if they want to find their relatives for help, it is tantamount to throwing themselves into the net. Since you can't ask for help from your relatives, then run to other places to hide, this is another problem, we all know that in ancient times when entering the city, you need a road guide, this is to prove the identity of a person, if you don't have it, it is a suspicious person, so as long as you are posted a notice, the city does not want to go in, then only the wild is left, the danger of the wild is not to say more.
Some people may say, there are still some small villages, can not also hide, this idea is also unrealistic, because in ancient times there was also a crime of "knowing and not reporting", that is, if you see a person suspicious and do not report to the government, then you are also going to be convicted together, which greatly limits the scope of escape of prisoners. Of course, the most important point is that the "wanted list" has such 13 words, which is a straw that crushes the camel.
These 13 words are "there are people in the world who can sue the murderer, the reward is fifty thousand", this reward provision has been in place since the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing gradually expanded the scope, many prisoners have this honor to be rewarded, to the Ming Dynasty, and even can be awarded officials! This is equivalent to as long as you catch a person, you can send windfall wealth from heaven, and you can even get a small official position, shade your descendants, what a big pie, ordinary people can not use twelve points of strength to catch prisoners, therefore, if the fugitives reach this level, the whole world is the enemy, it is better to obediently tie their hands and capture it.
Of course, the reason why the ancient prisoners were so efficient is also related to the small number of people, there are so many people in a place, if you change the modern era, there are people everywhere, just by relying on a portrait to catch people, it will be very difficult, so now the wanted person will also give a lot of money, at least 50,000 bar, I have to say that using money to improve enthusiasm This trick is really good, try a hundred and one larks.
