Chapter 703
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
No one blamed Pan Yun, and no one blamed the mountain god.
The villagers were all very open-minded. Old Man Wang took Pan Yun's hand and said with a wrinkled smile: "The mountain god has blessed us. Fei Yin has been taking care of us since we were captured. This is the reward for our daily worship of the god.
There are too many expectations and wishes, but there are so many people in the world, so many gods in heaven, and only one mountain god of Sanqing Mountain. How can everything go as you wish?"
When the villagers heard this, the circle surrounding Pan Yun dispersed. Everyone left, returned to their seats, and quietly wiped their tears, unwilling to embarrass Pan Yun anymore.
Pan Jun opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Mr. Wang squeezed her hand vigorously, then pushed her out: "You've been here, you've seen it all, that's enough, go back, go back..."
Pan Jun glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Where's Wang Erliang?"
Old man Wang paused while pushing her hand, his back hunched, and his body seemed to be heavier.
Wang Xiaojing's mother choked up and said, "Erliang... committed suicide."
Someone nearby whispered, "This is to avoid bringing trouble to the family."
"It's a pity for that kid. He has already learned carpentry and has arranged a marriage. Who would have thought that he would be drafted to work as a courier?"
Listening to the discussions coming from all directions, Pan Yun suppressed the bitterness in his heart and asked loudly: "How many children, how many young women, and how many elderly people over 60 are there in the prison?"
Everyone was quiet.
Pan Yun said: "Report your number as soon as possible. I will try to get the elderly, children and women out first."
When everyone heard this, they immediately started to count, and soon the number of people was determined.
Pan Yun then took Xiaolan's hand and said, "Wait for me for a few more days, I will find a way to rescue you all."
Xiaolan agreed while crying.
The yamen runner watched from the side, and when he sent Pan Yun out, he whispered to remind her: "If you want to save people, you have to be quick. Yesterday, Master Wu brought three people here, and from the looks of it, they wanted to pick good-looking girls under 18 years old and over 13 years old."
That's why Xiaolan is so anxious.
Pan Yun pursed his lips, clasped his fists towards the yamen runner and said, "Thank you for your reminder, brother. Although these people are the families of the rebels, you can see that, firstly, they know nothing, and secondly, they are all civilians who are really forced into no choice..."
The yamen runner sighed and said, "Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for them."
Pan Yun thanked him repeatedly, "If anyone else comes, whether it's Master Wu or not, as long as they come to pick someone, please send someone to tell me and help me stop them."
The yamen runner hesitated for a moment but finally agreed.
Only then did Pan Yun and Wang Feiyin go back.
They had sneaked out, and the yamen clerk who was in charge of watching over them was a good friend of Wang Cong, so he turned a blind eye to their whereabouts. When he saw them come back, he turned his back and pretended he didn't see anything.
There were a lot of people queuing in the yard. There were three doctors setting up tables and seeing patients. When they saw Wang Feiyin coming over, their faces all looked grim.
Wang Feiyin smiled at them, then covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "They all came to the free clinic voluntarily. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be able to get out."
After that, he pointed to Miao He, Tao Yanbai and Miao Zhen and said, "All three of you go and see the doctors. Let the three doctors take good care of you."
After the three doctors finished examining the patients, they stood up, packed their medicine boxes silently, saluted Pan Yunwei, put on their medicine boxes and left.
Pan Yun quickly returned the gift and said goodbye.
Wang Feiyin muttered: "This is too rude. I have wasted my time teaching them."
Pan Yun looked around and asked, "Did Cai Sheng build this free clinic for you?"
Wang Feiyin hummed and said, "After the rebels entered the city, the city was in chaos. Although he later led the garrison to recapture the city, there have always been rumors in the county that he forced the people to rebel.
This is for the people, and the people in the city can come here to see me for free medical treatment."
Pan Yun: "Where's the medicine?"
"Take the prescription and go to the pharmacy to buy it yourself."
Pan Yun: "He is generous to others, but this is his only plan to keep the people safe?"
Wang Feiyin: "He said that the rebels had taken all the money, and the county was left with no money, not even enough to give me food."
Wang Feiyin: "By the way, I am responsible for my diet, so you..."
Pan Yun: "I have money."
Wang Feiyin exhaled, looked Pan Yun up and down, and praised: "You are very generous after going out."
Pan Yun nodded modestly: "It's okay, I just have a small amount of savings."
She looked around, then quickly leaned over to Wang Feiyin's ear and said, "I got the treasure back from the sea."
Wang Feiyin's eyes lit up: "All?"
"Half," Pan Yun emphasized, "I am a man who keeps his promises."
Wang Feiyin nodded repeatedly and praised generously: "How do you plan to use it?"
Pan Yun: "When we flew back, we saw that many places along the way were affected by the disaster. I wanted to distribute the money to disaster relief and keep some to solve the problem in Yushan County.
But with such a large sum of money, including a lot of silks, jewellery, books and paintings, it would be difficult to leave no trace.”
Wang Feiyin said, "Give it to me, I will exchange it for money and food for you." "Big Brother, my nephew is still overseas, not in Ming Dynasty."
"I don't need his people," Wang Feiyin said, "I'm his father, how can I not handle this matter?"
Pan Yun was very curious.
Wang Feiyin didn't say much, and directly stretched out his hand to her: "Do you have an order? I'll take care of the arrangements."
"No," Pan Yun said, "There are too many things. If I were to count them, it would take at least seven or eight days."
When Wang Feiyin heard this, he said, "Then just put it in the space for me."
He frowned, and then he remembered to ask: "Why did Cong'er stay overseas?"
"Oh, he's guarding the silver mines and ports in Japan." Pan Yun explained the whole story of the Japanese delegation in a few words, very briefly, but she asked about the matter in Yushan County in detail: "Where are the rebels hiding now? What is Wang Xiaojing's position in there? It's impossible for Cai Sheng to arrest the family members of any soldier, right?"
Wang Feiyin sighed, "Good fortunes often follow misfortunes, and misfortunes often follow good fortunes. Xiaojing's fortune this year really lived up to this saying."
Pan Yun said she was all ears.
Wang Feiyin: "After Wang Erliang fell off the mountain, he didn't have time to go to the express delivery shop to ask for leave. The county government sentenced him, and the bailiffs came to the village to arrest him."
Pan Yun: "...He broke his leg, can he still deliver the letter?"
"But he didn't ask for leave, which means the procedure was incorrect. The county government had reason to punish him."
Pan Yun: "Laws are nothing more than human feelings. When did Yushan County become so severe?"
Wang Feiyin: "After the new county magistrate took office."
Pan Jun pursed her lips: "Forget it, what next?"
"According to the law, he should be fined and arrested for dereliction of duty," Wang Feiyin said. "After he was injured, I treated his injury. Most of the medicinal materials were available in the temple, so the cost was not that high. Most of his family's savings were used to pay his fine. In order to exempt him from punishment, the Wang family also gave him money to atone for his sins, but the money was not enough.
It was only then that Xiao Jing rushed back and took out the Great Edict from his home to atone for his crime, and only then was the bailiff sent away.
In order to popularize legal education, Zhu Yuanzhang had people compile the "Great Edict" and issued a law that when a crime was committed, anyone whose family had the "Great Edict" would have their crime reduced by one level.
The dereliction of duty crime committed by Wang Erliang was not serious. After being downgraded to a lower grade, he would not be punished and only needed to pay the fine.
"After all the people in Fenshui Village were arrested, I secretly went into the mountains to look for Xiaojing. Because the boy had read the Great Edict since he was a child, he was considered a relatively smart person among the rebels, and he was one of the few people who could read, so he became a deputy general."
"What?" Pan Yun stood up in surprise.
Wang Feiyin spread his hands: "Why do you think I have so many acquaintances in the county government, but Fenshui Village was still captured without a single one left? Because Xiaojing is now the second in command of the rebel army."
Pan Jun sat back slowly, his face full of amazement: "I didn't expect that our former friend would be so powerful..."
Wang Feiyin gave her a slap on the head: "Why do you look quite happy to me?"
"No, you heard it wrong!" Pan Jun thought for a moment, "Then I have an idea. Those people in the land temple can't be rescued by just throwing money at them."
Wang Feiyin sighed sadly: "Yes, it's hard to save it even if you spend money."
They have to be saved no matter how difficult it is, especially those beautiful young girls, they can no longer live in the land temple. Who knows what Cai Sheng is thinking?
Pan Yun: "Did you use the name of Second Senior Brother to do anything?"
"Do you think I can be safe?"
Pan Yun regretted it deeply: "When I first became friends with the little emperor, I should have asked him for a token of trust. Now I can use this to bully others."
"Were you still close to the little emperor?"
"Don't be so serious. At least I have eaten at the same table with the little emperor and swam with him arm in arm." Pan Yun began to search in his own space, and finally found an iron plate and a jade pendant: "In fact, I also know two little princes."
She looked left and right, and finally put away the iron plate Mu Lin gave her, and took the jade pendant Zhu Zijin gave her and looked at it: "The Zhou Palace is close to here, so I can use it to bully others."
Wang Feiyin took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, frowning: "It doesn't look like it belongs to the royal family. I can only take it to the door of Prince Zhou's palace to identify it, right?"
Pan Yun took back the jade pendant: "He can't see that he is a weakling. Did I lie to him?"
Pan Jun got up and went to Miaozhen to ask for a painting, a painting that looked very expensive and was placed in a very expensive sandalwood box.
She asked Miaozhen and Miaohe to take a bath and change clothes, then put on the Taoist robes of Longhushan Academy and went to the county government waving a white whisk to ask to see the new county magistrate.
Wang Feiyin and Tao Yanbai sat at the table and watched the three men leave in a proud and confident manner, and only looked away when they were out of sight.
While feeling the patient's pulse, Tao Yanbai asked Wang Feiyin, "Master, aren't you going?"
"I'm already an adult, what should I do?" Wang Feiyin shook his head and said, "I'm an old and sick cat now, and I'm not worth mentioning anymore."
Tao Yanbai immediately said: "That's because they don't know the real thing."
Wang Feiyin snorted and laughed: "You guys are now able to talk after going out for a while."
After Pan Yun and the other two went out, their demeanor changed. They walked to the gate of the county government office with a haughty look on their faces, and without waiting for anyone to report, they quickly arrived at the lobby door.
The county government runners all widened their eyes and hurriedly followed after them.
The Magistrate Cai and Master Wu, who were facing them directly, stared with their eyes wide open. When the others came to them, they couldn't help rubbing their eyes. (End of this chapter)
