quick vocabulary question hello If you have a moment I have a quick vocabulary question I have forgotten a term for particular job description probably from Quing dynasty because I ve even seen an old photograph of this type of person Do you recall the word for a local tough guy who worked at the pleasure of a local judge They sometimes worked as runners or heralds of some sort but their main job was to catch lower level criminals and administer the torture justice Something like jaxman Hetman but not that word Thank you for your time and trouble
