The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 462 Eavesdropping
"Well said!" Mu Yan strode over and looked at Pan Yun approvingly: "There are law-abiding people and lawless people; there are loyal ministers, good ministers, and treacherous ministers. It all depends on how you choose. As a human being, you should look up, learn from the above, uphold the laws of nature, and eliminate human desires. If you let human desires run rampant and indulge your greed for power and money, you are not a human being, but an animal."

Pan Yun's eyes sparkled, and he looked at Mu Yan affectionately: "Although I don't completely agree with what you said about preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires, I agree with the second half of your sentence, that self-cultivation should be based on self-cultivation, perfecting one's personality through self-reflection, and being consistent in words and deeds. This is what a human being should be."

Pan Yun glanced at Wang Zhen and said, "Unlike some people, who claim to be loyal to the emperor, but try to steal the emperor's women and constantly dig holes for him."

Wang Zhen's complexion had returned to normal. He straightened his robe, stood up, and looked at the Duke of Qian with a half-smile, "Why is Duke Mu here again? Is the talisman paper I just asked for no longer effective?"

When Pan Yun heard this, he immediately acted cute: "Have you used up the yellow talisman? Alas, although I am weak due to fasting, the Mu family is guarding the southwest for the Ming Dynasty and for His Majesty. Even if it means exhausting my energy and sacrificing my life, I will definitely draw the talisman to ensure the temporary peace of the Second Master Mu."

Mu Yan was deeply moved. He immediately asked the jailer to open the cell door, walked in and helped Pan Yun up, with a worried look on his face: "Why does Taoist Pan want to fast? But the food I sent you is not to your taste. What do you want to eat? Just tell me and I will send someone to find it."

Pan Yun sighed and said, "It's not a problem of food. It's that the filthy air in this prison is very heavy. Only by fasting can I keep my body and mind clean, and the talismans I draw will be more effective. So I will fast for one day every day I am in prison."

When Mu Yan heard this, he lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

Pan Yun asked with concern: "Duke Qian, has there been a letter from Yunnan? Is Master Mu II okay?"

Mu Yan came back to his senses and said quickly, "The letter from Yunnan just arrived. The talisman you drew, Taoist Pan, is very effective. Brother Xi feels much better after changing to the new talisman. The corpse worms in his body have fallen asleep and his condition has not worsened."

Therefore, Mu Yan wanted Pan Yun to go to Yunnan even more.

If her talisman can put the corpse worms to sleep, then does she also have a way to get all the corpse worms out of Mu Xi's body and make the person healed?

The more Mu Yan thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He held Pan Yun's hand tightly and said, "Master Pan, wait a moment. I will go to the palace to ask for permission. I will definitely rescue you!"

After saying that, he turned and ran out.

When Wang Zhen saw him running away, he immediately dropped his disguise and returned to his true nature. He squinted at Pan Yun and said, "You guys are really good at scheming. You went to jail to keep me in the prison. Now you want to get out of jail. Aren't you afraid that I will get out of jail to deal with you?"

Pan Jun turned around and smiled at him brightly: "Guess?"

There was no need to guess. As soon as the Duke of Qian left, his confidant sneaked in and told him, "Seal holder, the three courts have obtained new evidence. It is the entire case file of the Yue family murdering her husband and the He family murdering her husband. Your Majesty has approved the case file and is now summoning the three courts for a joint trial. The relatives and related persons of the two cases have all been summoned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a retrial."

Wang Zhen's face changed and he looked at Pan Yun suddenly.

Pan Jun was taking a sip of water for the day. Seeing this, she looked up and smiled at him, then drank the water in the cup.

Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and looked away, suppressing his anger and asking, "Wasn't most of the case destroyed, leaving only the favorable confession? How come there is still some?"

"Xue Xuan had made preparations long ago. He sent the case file via the official post before he was imprisoned. It has never been opened in the past three years."

Wang Zhen laughed angrily: "As expected of Xue Jingxuan, it's our chess master who is one step behind."

Wang Zhen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then waved at him.

The confidant immediately came forward, and Wang Zhen whispered, "Does Guo Jing have anything to say? What does His Majesty think?"

The confidant also lowered his voice, "Eunuch Guo, please rest assured that the emperor is not interested in you, but in the Jiangnan Silver Mine."

Wang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax completely. "The Luchuan War emptied the national treasury, and the northern bandits are ready to make a move. Your Majesty wants to attack the north, but Ren Fa and Si Ji Fa are still alive and have not been subdued. If you want to fight, silver is indispensable. However, the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are getting less and less every year. The silver mines have been reopened, but the silver is nowhere to be found..."

Wang Zhen sneered: "They thought that His Majesty was going to punish me, but they didn't know that His Majesty would not let me go with either hand."

He looked down at his clenched fists, "But, I'm still useful, I won't die, and they won't get what they want!"

Wang Zhen's eyes were blazing with fire. He grabbed his confidant's hand and said in a low voice, "Call Wang Wen back! Find the treasure map! If he can't find the treasure map, ask him to hand over all the account books along the coast of Jiangnan!" He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't let me live, then no one else can live!"

Pan Yun raised his eyelids suddenly, and his hand holding the teacup tightened. With a click, the cup in his hand was cracked.

Pan Jun lowered his eyes and took a look, then silently put down the cup. As soon as he placed it on the table, the cup tilted and broke into three pieces.

Wang Zhen didn't pay any attention to her. He spoke in a very low voice, almost whispering to his confidant's ear.

It’s not good to live with Pan Yun. You need to be extra careful.

However, he could decide many things in the imperial prison, but he could not decide the location of his own cell.

At that time, Wang Zhen knew that this was the emperor's request.

It was also from that moment that Wang Zhen knew the reason why Pan Yun had been imprisoned in this imperial prison and had not been brought to trial.

This is to let the two of them restrain each other.

However, he was the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace. How could Pan Yun, a small Taoist priest, restrain him?

Wang Zhen was not convinced and was terrified, doubting the effectiveness of the yellow talismans in the emperor's hands.

Aren’t the only things Pan Yun can show off the talismans?

The talisman that the emperor believed could restrain him...

Wang Zhen both despised and feared Pan Yun.

He looked down on Pan Yun because she was young, a girl, and not smart...

But he was also afraid of her because what she could do was unknown to him.

Wang Zhen thought: The first thing I would do when I get out of prison is to find a Taoist priest to support me.

He may not know Taoism or magic, but he cannot be completely ignorant of his enemy.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Wang Zhen was ambitious. He made arrangements for the short-term strategic deployment under his whisper before letting his confidants leave.

Pan Jun was also muttering to himself, but only in his heart.

Ever since Wang Zhen was imprisoned, Pan Yun and Pan Xiaohei have been communicating with each other through a wall in their hearts.

Fortunately, the spirit's main body is in her Niwan Palace, so the man and the spirit can communicate without any obstacles.

Pan Xiaohei got the news from her, then ran back to Yin's house and resigned himself to flipping through the book on Yin Song's desk, using his cat's paws to shorten and convey Pan Yun's words bit by bit.

Fortunately, it is a spiritual realm, and the knowledge stored there is vast. After studying, it is relatively simple to shorten Pan Yun’s nonsense and extract the main content.

But no matter how simple it is, it takes a lot of effort to convey Wang Zhen’s daily strategic deployment.

Alas, why can’t they understand cat language? Isn’t it easy to understand?
Pan Yun can even understand what mice say, so why can’t her fellow brothers and sisters study hard?
