“Catch people? Is it still a detailed task this time?” Gu Yunqing looked at Shang Xingchen suspiciously.
Shang Xingchen smiled, “How many detailed works are there? I came out this time to deal with the gangsters here.”
Han Yuan, who was on the side, looked at Shang Xingchen and continued, “No, right? Isn’t the constable and yamen runners responsible for the matter?”
Shang Xingchen sighed helplessly and whispered, “It was indeed the case before, but later, Yuan Qingyu transferred his people to various positions, including the constable and yamen runners in the capital. They said they were catching gangsters, but in fact they were arrested.”
“So that’s the case. What should we do if these people are vacant after they are captured?” Han Yuan asked in confusion as he looked at Shang Xingchen.
“Oh, it’s a headache to talk about this. Of course, the ones that can be retrieved are the best. But many people have been killed by Yuan Qingyu. These positions can only be taken care of by others. They will not be selected until after the spring of next year.”
“Isn’t the examination once every three years?” Gu Yunqing looked at Shang Xingchen in confusion.
“Yes, but now is the critical time. The court is short of people. In addition, Yuan Qingyu killed many people. Many positions in the court are vacant. Lord Mo takes into account four positions at the same time. In addition to Shaoqing of Taifu, there is also the prefect of Jingzhao. Jing Ming said that since Lord Mo was restored to his post, he has never had a good rest.”
Gu Yunqing was stunned, and then asked in a low voice, “He. Is he okay?”
“It’s okay.” Shang Xingchen looked at Gu Yunqing and smiled and comforted in a low voice, “Yunqing, don’t worry, Lord Mo is okay now.”
“That’s good.” Gu Yunqing slowly breathed.
“Okay, you’ll go back soon after you buy it. The emperor issued an order to let the people have a good New Year. It is necessary to convict all of these people before the New Year. Not only are we busy, but the yamen are even more busy. The county magistrate sat in the court from day to night. Not only is the capital like this, but there are also many other places.”
“I’m going to go and do it. By the way, Yunqing, have you received an invitation to a banquet in the palace?”
