The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 448 Imprisonment
Zhu Qizhen's face turned serious and he asked, "Whose criminal daughter is she?"

Wang Zhen replied, "She is the daughter of Pan Hong, the former censor of the Metropolitan Censorate."

"Pan Hong?"

Wang Zhen: "They were the cronies who helped him accept bribes and framed Xue Xuan in the case."

Zhu Qizhen's mind suddenly flashed with Pan Yun's words "I have a grudge against Wang Zhen".

At that time, he just thought she was joking, and that she was prejudiced against a legendary high-ranking eunuch from the perspective of an ordinary citizen.

I really didn't expect that there really is a grudge!
Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth slightly but didn't say anything for a long time.

Cao Jixiang was also in the hall. Seeing this, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yin Song, the Xiaguan official of the Imperial Observatory, wants to see you and has been waiting outside the hall for half an hour."

Wang Zhen glanced at Cao Jixiang with cold eyes.

Cao Jixiang lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Zhu Qizhen also restrained his expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking, "Let him in."

Outside the hall, Yin Song heard the call and finally swept up the tea that had just dripped, then walked into the hall with his eyes lowered.

Before crossing the threshold, he paused and lifted his right foot first.

He asked for divination before going out in the morning, and the right was auspicious.

Yin Song walked to the center of the hall with his head lowered, lifted his robe calmly, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize."

Zhu Qizhen: ...

Today's ministers are so direct, he likes it!

Zhu Qizhen leaned forward and asked, "What crime has Lord Yin committed?"

Yin Song said: "I apologize on behalf of my junior sister Pan Yun. She is actually the daughter of the criminal Pan Hong. She has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhu Qizhen & Wang Zhen & Duke of Qian: She really is Pan Hong’s daughter. I thought Wang Zhen (I) had wronged her.

Duke Qian frowned and looked at Yin Song with some disappointment.

Wang Zhen was very proud and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you see, I was right. This Pan Yun is the daughter of Pan Hong. She has other intentions in approaching Your Majesty, and her intentions are sinister..."

"She did have other intentions in approaching His Majesty," Yin Song said with a look of regret, "Although my junior sister has only been practicing Taoism for a short time, she is extremely talented. She has made great achievements in divination at a young age. She had already calculated that His Majesty would leave the palace, so she deliberately wandered around the streets. Who would have thought that she would actually run into His Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen looked doubtful, "Wasn't it Yin Qing who helped?"

Yin Song shook his head and denied it, saying seriously, "I didn't know her identity before, let alone her plans, so how could I help her?"

Zhu Qizhen just smiled, neither saying that he believed it nor that he did not believe it.

Seeing this, Yin Song hurriedly explained to him, "My little sister was wandering outside. She was accidentally met by my third and fourth junior brothers and sisters, who brought her back to the mountains to practice."

"She said that her family sold her into slavery, and that she had repaid the kindness of raising her. For those of us who practice Taoism, since we have entered Taoism, these mundane matters are over. I never expected that she was the daughter of a criminal."

Wang Zhen said sharply, "Since she deceived the Taoist priest, why doesn't Sanqing Temple expel her?"

Yin Song smiled and said, "The child lied and was disobedient. She was naughty and mischievous. She is very hateful. But since she has entered the gate of Sanqing Temple, she is a member of Sanqing Temple. She caused trouble. Although we are annoyed, we still have to take responsibility for her. Please punish the Sanqing Temple for our negligence."

Wang Zhen: "Such a serious matter, and your Sanqing Temple only has one sin of not noticing it?"

Zhu Qizhen stopped the excited Wang Zhen and said, "Wang Banban, Pan Yun did it on purpose. She was only eight years old three years ago. Who would have known that an eight-year-old child could tell such a big lie? It is understandable that Sanqing Temple took her in."

Yin Song immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Wang Zhen couldn't help but whispered, "Your Majesty, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Yin Song: "Your Majesty, I just learned her identity last night. She said that she came to the capital this time to file a complaint with the emperor. Her father was really wronged. I ask Your Majesty to investigate the case of Pan Hong's clique and clear Pan Hong's name."

"How dare you! His Majesty is already showing leniency by not pursuing the crime of harboring criminals at Sanqing Temple. How dare you go even further!"

Zhu Qizhen also frowned.

When the Duke of Qian saw this, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Mu Xi is still waiting for Taoist Pan in Yunnan. Please pardon Taoist Pan and let her make amends for her crime."

Yin Song's eyebrows jumped, wondering how Pan Yun was related to the Mu Mansion in Yunnan again.

Mu Xi knew that it was he who rescued him in the beginning, but the corpse worms had already entered his body and he was helpless and could only leave it to the imperial physician to treat.

What use can Pan Yun’s mediocre medical skills be?

But if it weren't for medical skills...

Yin Song's eyebrows twitched, suspecting that Pan Yun had used talismans.

Every time these kids talk about their experiences, can they explain every detail?
While he was stunned, Wang Zhen had already fought with the Duke of Qian twice, with no winner or loser because the emperor remained silent.

Zhu Qizhen lowered his eyes and said, "This matter is not trivial. Can Pan Yun really relieve Mu Xi's symptoms?"

The Duke of Qian immediately said, "Mu Lin wrote that he met Pan Yun when he was traveling south and received a talisman from Pan Yun. Mu Xi relied on the talismans to relieve his pain. Your Majesty, the corpse worms are gnawing at my internal organs and it is really painful. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Come here, bring Pan Yun here. I want to ask her in person!"

Yun Yan personally led the people from the Northern Pacification Office to Yin’s house to arrest the person.

Pan Jun had just put away two baskets of steamed buns and placed them in the spiritual realm, and was tearing a hot bun into pieces when Yun Yan arrived.

Pan Yun followed him.

On the way, Yun Yan looked at her several times. Seeing that she was not afraid at all, he asked, "Have you prepared?"

Pan Yun: "The Southern Pacification Office made such a big move, as if they were afraid that I wouldn't know. How could I not be prepared?"

Yun Yan: "You told me this in person, aren't you afraid that I will report it to His Majesty?"

"I never lie to the emperor. The only difference is whether I tell it or not." This means that since she said this, it means she has no intention of hiding it.

Yun Yan snorted, "I have become your mouthpiece."

Pan Yun smiled, and as he walked he realized something was wrong, looked around and asked, "Aren't we going to see the emperor? This road doesn't look right."

"This is the way to the Imperial Prison. You should stay inside first."

Pan Yun asked: "Are we going to learn the etiquette of meeting the emperor in there?"

Yun Yan glanced at her and sneered.

Pan Yun nodded slightly: "I understand. The emperor is trying to intimidate me. You should think carefully about whether to meet me or not. After all, if you meet me, you will have to face my questioning and respond. Should you re-investigate the previous unjust case or continue to wrongfully accuse people?"

"How dare you!" Yun Yan's face darkened, he drew his knife and pressed it against her neck, saying coldly: "You have no respect for the emperor and father, if you dare to ridicule His Majesty again, I will kill you."

Pan Jun smiled at him, pressed his fingers on the blade and gently pushed the knife outward, "My Lord, I will remember your teaching."

Yun Yan's heart began to beat faster when he saw her push the knife without leaving any marks on her fingertips.
