Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 102: Arrest them all for me!

Lin Yi was seen squatting with an iron ladle in his hand.

This scene left the group that had organized themselves at the front to scramble for porridge somewhat perplexed.

However, in the next moment, Lin Yi was seen to plunge the ladle used for serving porridge straight into the ground.

Right under the astonished gaze of everyone, he scooped up a ladleful of yellow soil.

Upon this action, the chubby man in the front immediately became furious.

He pointed at Lin Yi with trembling fingers and exclaimed:

"You, you, you, you’re treating us like we’re not human! That iron ladle was clearly for serving porridge, yet you use it to dig up soil!

This is utterly outrageous! Outrageous, I say!

Do we, the disaster-stricken people, deserve such humiliation in your eyes, you high-and-mighty official?

Heavens! Your Majesty! Is there no one to judge fairly for us poor souls?"

However, during the man’s wailing and howling, Lin Yi merely smiled faintly, and then he astonishingly poured that ladleful of yellow soil right into the rice porridge.

Not only that but he even stirred the porridge a few times with the ladle.

In an instant, the ladleful of yellow soil was thoroughly mixed into the porridge.

This action left everyone, including the chubby man, dumbfounded.

After a long while, a burst of curses suddenly exploded from atop the city walls.

"This son of a bitch! How dare he do such a thing?

This is treating the common people as less than human!"

"It’s not just treating the people as less than human; this is practically a mockery of imperial power!

How could he act like this in front of Your Majesty, isn’t it making Your Majesty seem unkind and unjust in the hearts of the people?"

"Yes! In doing so, where does that leave the court’s laws and regulations? Could he, a mere eunuch, think he can turn the world upside down?"

"Such a creature is worse than pigs and dogs. Your Majesty, I beg that you execute this dog of a eunuch on the spot, to serve as a warning to others!"

"What’s the use of keeping such scum around? If Your Majesty does not execute him on the spot, then the position of the Minister of Revenue is not something I wish to hold any longer!"

"We all plead with Your Majesty to execute him, to serve as a warning to others!"

For a moment, these ministers were like wolves scenting meat.

Especially with the Fourth Prince’s covert instigation, they clamored to have Lin Yi swiftly executed!

Not only that, but they even resorted to threatening resignation as a form of pressure.

This time, even the young Emperor internally cried out in confusion!

But considering the distance, all that was in Lin Yi’s mind was completely unheard by the young Emperor.

It made her wish she could rise from her seat and go to Lin Yi’s side.

Lin Yi had always been brave and wise, but why would he behave so impulsively today?

If Lin Yi were anyone else, the young Emperor might not even hesitate to order an execution on the spot!

But the difficulty lies in the fact that it is Lin Yi!

How could I possibly bring myself to do it?

Putting aside the true nature of their relationship, to say nothing of how the current status she held was all thanks to him.

Even without mentioning that, he had saved her life more than once!

That’s precisely why executing Lin Yi is absolutely impossible!

The uproar from above naturally reached Lin Yi’s ears as well.

But he did not take it seriously at all and even chose to ignore it.

After thoroughly mixing the soil into the porridge, Lin Yi then turned his gaze towards the chubby man.

He then spoke directly:

"Enough with the wailing and howling. Didn’t you want to drink thick porridge? Come on then, this official will personally serve you a bowl!"

At these words, the fat man’s face immediately turned ashen.

And in his heart, he cursed Lin Yi thoroughly, this guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

This was just to disgust him.

The corn porridge was hard to swallow as it is, let alone with added yellow dirt.

Not to mention eating it, merely thinking about it made him feel sick.

"Hmph, you are humiliating us!

Though we are merely the lowliest of disaster victims, we still have our pride.

Such humiliation, even if it leads to death, what does it matter!"

After making this righteous statement, the guy slammed his broken clay bowl onto the ground and prepared to leave.

It wasn’t just this fat man; the several hundred people around him also exchanged glances and likewise pretended to be filled with righteous indignation.

They too slammed their broken bowls onto the ground and then prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the ministers on the city wall were even more infuriated, pounding their chests and stamping their feet!

They genuinely wished they could leap down and chop this eunuch to pieces themselves!

However, just as those people were about to leave, Lin Yi behind them suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"Hehe, you think the show is over and you can leave like that? Guards, arrest these bowl-smashing fake disaster victims for me!"

At these words, there was an instant hush across the scene.

Fortunately, the Soldiers of the Right Martial Guard were quick to react.

And since they were also holding back a bellyful of anger at this moment, they immediately charged at these people without a second word!

Before they could react, they were pressed to the ground.

By the time they came to their senses, the fat man was already pinned to the ground.

No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail.

Of course, given there were also hundreds of them, naturally, some managed to escape.

But this was of no concern; capturing this fat man was enough!

Facing the other party’s arrogance, Lin Yi approached with a smile:

"Speak up, who sent you to make trouble!"

At these words, a clear flash of panic crossed the fat man’s eyes.

But he quickly concealed it and also hurriedly pretended not to understand Lin Yi’s words.

Watching the man stubbornly denying the truth, Lin Yi didn’t continue to ask questions; instead, he nodded with a smile and then directly addressed the soldiers nearby:

"Lift his hand up for everyone to see.

Let’s see how ’poor’ this disaster victim really is!"

The soldiers, of course, didn’t hesitate, immediately raising the fat man’s hand.

And the next moment, a huge gold ring appeared before everyone!

When they saw this scene, everyone was stunned.

The next moment, as they looked at the fat man, their eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Looking back at the fat man, even though he resisted fiercely, trying to retract his hand, it was futile.

And in his heart, he regretted deeply.

When disguising himself, he had meant to remove the gold ring, but because his fingers had grown fatter, he had trouble taking it off for a while.

Furthermore, he was reluctant to destroy it, so he brought it along.

Only he had been extremely cautious about it, never in a million years did he expect that this eunuch would discover it!

Meanwhile, on the city wall,
