Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 100 These disaster victims have problems.

Especially when his gaze swept toward the refugees lined up in front of the soup shed waiting for their serving, this feeling intensified.

Even though these refugees were dressed in tattered clothes, Lin Yi always felt like something was missing from them.

At this time, the person in charge here also hurried to Lin Yi’s presence.

"Sir, you have arrived, today the number of refugees has already exceeded ten thousand.

A rough estimate, at least thirty-five thousand people."

Without waiting for Lin Yi to ask, this person had already recounted the situation of the day.

Regarding the number exceeding thirty thousand, Lin Yi was not too surprised.

After all, free soup distribution here would naturally attract the beggars from the surrounding areas as well.

Moreover, some of the civilians from outside the city might also sneak in to receive soup.

After all, in these times, having enough food was already a very difficult thing.

Not to mention a disaster, even in normal years, the households of commoners didn’t have surplus grain.

After listening to his subordinate’s report, Lin Yi frowned and gestured with his chin towards those refugees waiting for soup at the front:

"What’s the matter with these people? Although there are both men and women, their faces are rosy and not like the other refugees who are pale."

When this topic was brought up, the person in charge also frowned deeply:

"Sir, these people all appeared early this morning.

Then they pushed their way to the front.

Our manpower is really insufficient, so we only scolded them briefly."

After this conversation, Lin Yi frowned even more.

Especially when he raised his head and his gaze swept to the figure of the young Emperor on the city wall, his frown deepened.

His instincts told him that there was definitely a problem here.

"Have these people’s identities been verified?"

"They have been verified, sir, according to their own statements, they are all refugees.

Since they are fleeing famine, they also don’t have things like travel permits on them.

Therefore, I couldn’t verify their true identities.

However, many of them can testify for each other, proving that they are from the same village."

"Ridiculous, they are all in cahoots; their testimony for each other is useless.

Go and bring one to me, I want to interrogate personally."

However, just at this moment, suddenly a noisy clamor came from the queue.

Following the noise, Lin Yi saw that the group at the front was arguing with the soldiers distributing the soup.

Just by listening briefly, Lin Yi already understood.

It turned out that these people were upset because they saw water being added to the well-cooked soup.

Not only were they shouting not to dilute the soup with water, but they were even inciting the emotions of the people around them.

And very quickly, around five hundred people also started shouting non-stop.

Looking at the situation, as if adding water to the pot by Lin Yi’s side was an unforgivable sin.

Even though Lin Yi was providing them with food for free, it couldn’t outweigh the crime committed.

Even the words they spoke were extremely tricky.

If put in today’s terms, it would indeed be labeled.

Looking now at the young Emperor, standing on the city wall, he naturally also saw everything happening below.

This also made him immediately furrow his brows.

Not only the young Emperor, there were quite a few people gathered on the city wall at this time.

After all, the Emperor had come out to inspect the civic conditions, so the officials naturally had to make an appearance too.

Because of this, the two Princes and all the high-ranking ministers almost all attended the event.

At that moment, observing the expressions of the refugees below, then glancing at Lin Yi’s back,

two people’s corners of the mouth could not help lifting slightly.

However, they quickly covered it up.

But then again, looking at the refugees at that time, not knowing who raised their head,

and saw the young Emperor in Dragon Robe.

Instantly, they began to cry and shout towards the city wall.

They even threw their hats directly at the young Emperor.

It seemed as though everything was instructed by the young Emperor.

The two Princes and high-ranking ministers accompanying the young Emperor also began pointing fingers down below.

Of course, the young Emperor swept his gaze over them and saw the undisguised schadenfreude in their eyes.

It seemed like they relished seeing the Emperor make a fool of himself.

Listening to the refugees’ tearful accusations below, not asking for money, but just asking for a bowl of thick porridge to fill their stomachs.

Clearly, such a request was not unreasonable.

Even more so, because of these people’s cries, the refugees anxiously looking this way from the outskirts also began to empathize.

At that moment, they all felt deeply aggrieved.

They didn’t expect that coming all the way to the foot of the Emperor, the Emperor would not even provide them with enough food.

This made them feel a sudden surge of grievances in their hearts.

Seeing that some people in the back were also echoing them, Lin Yi immediately became furious.

He realized that these people were definitely not real refugees.

The porridge given in the last two days was also diluted with water, but not only did no one complain, but they were also grateful and thankful.

To the refugees, not to mention eating rice porridge, even if they were given grass roots and bark, as long as it kept them alive, they wouldn’t complain.

They might argue over not getting enough porridge, but they would definitely not fret over half a bowl of rice in a bowl of porridge.

Looking at the young Emperor now, his expression was also very unpleasant.

What Lin Yi did was naturally discussed with her.

At the very least, it would help more refugees.

Therefore, the current situation is equivalent to roasting her on fire.

Especially those officials around suddenly began to speak ill of Lin Yi.

From the initial low murmurs, it turned into open loud discussions:

"This Eunuch Lin seems gentle and civilized, who would have expected him to be so heartless.

Could it be that he pocketed the other half bowl of rice from this bowl of porridge?"

"Is there even a need to ask? His Majesty must have instructed him to make sticky porridge, but this fellow is so perfunctory, he really deserves to be condemned."

Similar remarks were many, and evidently, nobody spoke well of Lin Yi.

But in such a situation, who doesn’t know that Lin Yi is the young Emperor’s trusted aide?

Now speaking demeaningly of Lin Yi implies demeaning the Emperor.

This is also why the young Emperor’s power is currently usurped; if it were another Emperor, those babbling officials would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

However, under these circumstances, the young Emperor also had no other options.

She could also see that those supposed refugees must be fake.

But even if she realized that, what could she do?

Since these people dared to do so, then

...
