"I heard that the escort who accompanied this official on the trip South has caused some trouble and ended up in jail. I've come to take a look."
Vice Minister Huang's face twitched with difficulty as he said, "Lord Zhao, this..."
Zhao Douan smiled and said,
"Mr. Huang, there's no need to feel troubled. This official is simply visiting the prison. It won't kill anyone to check on the food and drink. If there's any issue, it's on me."
The Ministry of Justice had been walking on eggshells for the past few months due to the incident where Gao Lian and County Magistrate Wang Chusheng died in jail.
Vice Minister Huang hastily waved his hands,
"Lord Zhao, you jest. With your influence, who would dare refuse a gift of food or even bedding for the prisoners? It's not that I'm unwilling to accommodate you, it's just that..."
Zhao Douan raised his eyebrows, "Just what?"
