Yin Hao has a nephew named Han and Compaq. When he was a child, he was very clever and good at talking. Yin Hao liked him very much, and once said that he had "a device that stood out from the crowd". But Yin Hao is very strict with him. When Yin Hao was exiled, Compaq left with him. On one occasion, Yin Hao was curious when he saw Han talking to someone else, so he listened carefully.
