長子思芳有武略，省父至葉，任以守衛事。 His eldest son Sifang was skilled in military affairs. When he came from the capital to visit his father at Ye, Yin put him in charge of the county's defense.

一日，思芳巡歷近郊，見二人縶馬坐樹下語，異之，歸戒門者伺狀。 One day Sifang was patrolling the outskirts and noticed two men tie up their horses and talk beneath a tree. Struck by the sight, he went back and told the gatekeepers to watch for them.

寅趣思芳往與雜坐，出不意縛之，鞫得實，械至都伏法。 Yin sent Sifang to join the men at their table; he seized them by surprise, obtained a full confession under interrogation, and had them sent in chains to the capital, where they were executed.

思芳少時居鄉治團練，從軍數有功，官至江蘇候補道。 In his youth Sifang organized local militia in his home district, served in several campaigns with distinction, and rose to expectant circuit intendant in Jiangsu.
