Outside, the situation was turbulent, with censors submitting memorials to the Northern Pacification Office like snowflakes, and even removing a deputy assistant minister. However, Xie Ying, who was at the center of the storm, was still steadily doing what he was supposed to do, and was not affected at all.
It had only been a few days since he entered the Zhenfu Division. There was also a Zhenfu Envoy Zhu Yuan above him. It was not appropriate to make drastic changes right after he entered the office, so he just looked through the files and tried to improve the conditions of the imperial prison.
He remembered what Ryan Cui had told him, that strong liquor could remove the poison from wounds and weapons. He went to the prison to check on the prisoners' condition and brought in several jars of strong liquor that was so strong that even he dared not drink it. He used it to wash the prisoners' wounds and asked the jailer to bring clean cloth to bandage their wounds.
The jailer smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the air and felt distressed: "Why can't we drink this good wine? We have to use it to wash the wounds of the thieves. Even if we really want to treat their injuries, wouldn't it be better to pour some concentrated salt water on them?"
Even the adults felt sorry for the strong liquor and advised him to keep it for himself instead of giving it to the prisoners.
