The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 482 Analysis
Pan Yue and Pan Yu didn't know Yin Song. Seeing that his smile was not very good, they took two steps back and hid behind Xue Shao.

Xue Shao: ...

He had to take the initiative to introduce: "This is Lord Yin Song, the Xiaguan Zheng of the Imperial Observatory. He is also a disciple of Mount Sanqing and Pan Yun's second senior brother."

Pan Yue and Pan Yu's eyes lit up, and they immediately came out from behind Xue Shao, saluted him with tears in their eyes, "So it's Second Senior Brother."

Yin Song nodded slightly, "I have been looking for you since Lord Pan entered the capital, and I even had people guarding the city gate, but I didn't see you two."

Pan Yue and Pan Yu looked at each other and said embarrassedly, "We two came in after dark, just before closing time."

The capital did not allow refugees to enter the city. The two of them had paid money to use connections to get back. They had no pass and were wearing rags. They had no money to buy more clothes, so they could only sneak in when the city gates were closed and there were many people, so the inspection was not so strict.

Many refugees sneaked into the city to become beggars in this way.

This was the experience Pan Yue learned on his way back to Beijing.

After entering the city, as he knew nothing about the progress of the case, he and Pan Yu went straight to the Dali Temple. He heard that his father was imprisoned as soon as he returned to the city. He did not dare to stay and began to look for a safe place to stay in the city.

If the case is in favor of his father, then his father was escorted back to Beijing and should be restricted from leaving the city, waiting to be summoned at any time;
At worst, he could be imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison, or in the Imperial Prison...

Who in the world doesn’t know that Ma Shun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is Wang Zhen’s right-hand man?

As soon as Pan Yue heard about the imperial prison, he judged that this case was unfavorable to his father. In order to prevent himself and his second brother from becoming his father's weaknesses, he could only find a safe place to stay first.

Yin Song led them back to Yin's house: "Although it took some effort to find you, it's a good thing that you did that. I didn't find you, and no one else found you either."

Pan Yue: "Others?"

"Yes," Yin Song asked Feng Yan to boil water for them to bathe, asked Yin Qingjun to go to the kitchen to cook, and poured tea for them himself: "The Jinyiwei of the Southern Pacification Office and several other masters have sent servants to look for you all over the city."

Pan Yu: "So we were right to run?"

Yin Song nodded: "Although it was a bit troublesome, it was indeed the right way to go."

He looked at Xue Shao and smiled: "Speaking of which, Master Xue is lucky. You didn't deliberately look for someone to meet you."

Xue Shao smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you two would follow me back to Beijing. Pan Yun said that since you have served in the army and have made military achievements, if you stay in Datong and make more achievements, you can be transferred to military status, which is also a good prospect.

If the injustice is redressed, you can naturally come back. If it cannot be redressed, you have already served in the military and it won’t be any worse, so why do you want to come back?”

Pan Yue: "We can't let my father come back alone to face the storm."

He asked, "Second Brother, what's the matter with my little sister going to Yunnan?"

Yin Song explained the whole thing in detail.

When they heard that Pan Yun was involved in the whole matter of overturning the verdict, and that she had been in prison for more than ten days in order to restrain Wang Zhen, the Pan and Yue brothers were immediately heartbroken.

Yin Song said: "The people from Longhu Mountain should have picked her up. From now on, she is safe."

Pan Yue: "The emperor sent my little sister to Yunnan at this time. Is this to protect her?"

Yin Song nodded.

Pan Yue was puzzled: "Why? The emperor has feelings for my little sister?"

Yin Song: "Your Majesty loves talents. My junior sister is quite gifted in Taoism and can be called a genius."

Pan Yue immediately felt proud: "I told you, my little sister has been meditating and practicing since she was old enough to understand. She said she wanted to cultivate immortality. This must be her early wisdom."

Pan Yu: "Maybe my little sister was an immortal in her previous life, and she came down to earth to experience disasters, but she didn't drink all the Mengpo soup, so she has some impressions of her previous life, which is why she has been self-disciplined and practicing since she was a child."

Yin Song: "...You two are really brother and sister. That's what my junior sister said."

Pan Yue and Pan Yu looked as if they had guessed correctly.

Pan Yu used to scoff at the idea of ​​ghosts and gods, and Pan Yue was half-believing and half-doubting, but after getting the little sister's amulet, they changed their minds. No, they changed their minds together with their father.

Pan Yue asked quickly: "Second Brother, Master Xue, what can we brothers do?"

Yin Song: "There is so much you can do."

Pan Yue and Pan Yu looked expectant.

Yin Song said: "You guys make money, find a way to make more."

Pan Yue asked expectantly: "And then?"

"Then just wait."

"Wait?" Pan Yue frowned: "Don't we need to take care of the imperial prison?"

Yin Song smiled: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you."

After a moment of silence, Pan Yue asked, "What about the court officials?"

Yin Song shook his head: "They don't need to be managed."

Pan Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My father said the same thing last time, and then my family was raided. So if it helps, we are willing to pay more. If this is not enough, we have already written to our family, and they will send money."

Three years ago, Pan Hong was suddenly arrested. Pan Tao went to see him and asked him if he wanted any help.

Pan Hong refused. His original words were: "When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will suffer. No matter how much money the fish in the pond give, it can't fill the moat. Rather than spending everything on the impossible, it is better to leave the money. At least two can save one."

So the Pan family didn't do much at the time. Later, Pan Hong was the official who received the heaviest sentence except for Xue Xuan.

Xue Xuan was sentenced to immediate execution, while Pan Hong and his entire family were exiled to Datong.

But the annoying thing was that after Xue Xuan was escorted to the execution ground, the emperor regretted his decision and temporarily pardoned Xue Xuan.

Then Xue Xuan was driven out of the capital, forbidden to enter the capital forever, and his descendants were restricted from taking imperial examinations.

In the end, the Pan Hong family was the most seriously injured.

This time, the situation happened again, and Pan Yue wanted to try another way. What if they could make arrangements this time?
"Even if the verdict cannot be overturned, if someone can plead for mercy and ask His Majesty to spare him from exile, that would be great." Pan Yue said in a low voice, "You don't know how hard life is in Datong. My second brother and I are young and strong, but my father is old and frail. The winter wind blows on people, as if it wants to penetrate clothes and flesh and break bones."

Yin Song counted on his fingers and said expressionlessly, "If I'm not mistaken, your father is thirty-eight this year, in the prime of his life, right?"

Pan Yue sighed: "He is only forty years old, but he looks like a man in his seventies. If this is not old age, what else can it be?"

Yin Song: "...I just saw your father in the imperial prison yesterday."

Pan Yue immediately asked: "Second Brother, does my father have any message for us?"

"Yes," Yin Song said, "Master Pan told you to obey me in everything."

He looked at Pan Yu and said, "Master Pan asked you to listen to your elder brother and me in everything."

Then he looked at Pan Yue and said, "Master Pan asked you to be calm and self-controlled, and not to forget the Pan family's ancestral teachings. If you can't ask for something in the world, then don't force it. Also, listen to me and Master Xue in everything."

Pan Yue couldn't help but look at Xue Shao and frowned.

Xue Shao is younger than him, why should he listen to Xue Shao?

Yin Song seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "Talent does not depend on age. Not only is he talented, but he also knows how to choose better than you."

"What do you mean?"

Yin Song said: "Do you know who your enemy is now?"
