七年，金鄉皁役之孫張敬禮冒考被控，知縣汪廷楷置不問，學政劉鳳誥以聞，下和瑛提鞫，誤聽濟南知府德生言誣斷，為給事中汪鏞所糾。 In 1802 Zhang Jingli, grandson of a district runner at Jinxian, was accused of impersonating a candidate in the examinations. Magistrate Wang Tingkai ignored the charge until Education Commissioner Liu Fenggao reported it. The case was referred to He Ying, who wrongly credited Jinan Prefect Desheng and rendered a false judgment, and Censor Wang Yong impeached him.

上以和瑛日事文墨，廢弛政務，即解職，命鏞從侍郎祖之望往按，得實，褫和瑛職，又以匿蝗災事覺，譴戍烏魯木齊。 The emperor judged that He Ying spent his days on literary pursuits and neglected government, removed him at once, and sent Wang Yong with Vice Minister Zu Zhiwang to investigate. The facts were proved, He Ying was stripped of office, and when a concealed locust disaster also came to light he was sent into exile at Urumqi.
