Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 104: How Can I Help You Finish This!

Lin Yi’s voice was not very loud, but everyone inside and outside the scene heard it crystal clear.

Even the fat man with his mouth stuffed couldn’t help but prick up his ears.

As for the man being brought over, just as he was about to look up at the fat elder, he was scolded by the soldier.

"Sir, sir, s-sir, his, his name, his name is Zhou Da."

Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction, then spoke up:

"He says he is from Dagou Village in Anqing County, Anqing Prefecture, is this true?"

"It is, it’s true, we really are from Dagou Village in Anqing County, Anqing Prefecture."

Upon hearing this answer, one could already ascertain without further questioning that these people were certainly lying.

After all, the name of this village was completely fabricated by Lin Yi.

"Alright, move to the side, plug his mouth, and bring up the next one!"

After merely asking these two questions, Lin Yi directly waved his hand to have them taken away.

When that man was also gagged and brought next to the fat man, he could see fury written all over the fat man’s face.

No need to think to know, he had certainly misspoken.

But he couldn’t blame himself for this, he had not anticipated this situation before coming here.

However, at this moment, the second person had already been brought over.

Seeing the newcomer, Lin Yi didn’t dawdle and immediately threw several questions at him.

This time, however, Lin Yi changed Dagou Village to Dashui Village.

The result was similar to the first man’s response; other than saying the old man’s name was Zhou Da, the rest was just repeating what Lin Yi led him to say.

For some reason, when the first man saw this person, he seemed to feel some schadenfreude.

It was as if he was saying, see, I’m not the only one who doesn’t know.

What followed was the same; Lin Yi consecutively questioned five people, each yielding different results.

Of course, with some clever tactics, Lin Yi was able to extract some useful information.

Seeing how things had developed, the old man knew inwardly that things were not good, and thus began struggling continuously.

He seemed to want to say something.

Seeing this, Lin Yi directly had the stuff in his mouth taken out.

"What now, do you have anything else to say?"

Lin Yi had him brought back in front of him, then asked with a smile on his face.

"Ha ha, ha ha ha, I never thought I, Zhou Da, after all my calculations, would lose in the details. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

But your Grandpa Zhou is a real man; now that things have come to this, I naturally won’t let you succeed!"

Right after he finished speaking, suddenly there was a crisp snapping sound from his mouth, followed immediately by him swallowing a gulp down his throat.

This caught even Lin Yi off guard. By the time he realized what happened, he saw fresh blood trickling from the corner of the fat man’s mouth.

Not only that, his somewhat corpulent body also thudded to the ground.

Crouching down, Lin Yi put his fingers on the man’s carotid artery and shockingly discovered that the guy had already died.

Poison hidden in the mouth?

In his mind, these words immediately popped up.

This made him react instantly, and he hurriedly shouted to his subordinates:

"Plug all their mouths for this official! Then check their teeth thoroughly!"

However, even with Lin Yi’s quick actions, several other people ended up like Zhou Da.

Seeing this, Lin Yi didn’t bother with those people, as long as there was one survivor left.

Immediately, orders were given to take them all away for interrogation.

Looking up at the city wall at this moment, all the officials had stopped talking.

Each one’s face showed no ripple, as if it wasn’t them who had just suggested the young Emperor to kill Lin Yi.

Seeing this, the young Emperor also let out a long sigh of relief, feeling nervous for Lin Yi.

Fortunately, it ended without any real danger.

Thus, after impassively scanning the faces of the Civil and Military Officials, he continued to fix his gaze on Lin Yi and others below.

Just at that moment, unexpectedly, among the officials, Zhang Liang suddenly spoke out.

The words he spoke were full of pain and urgency:

"Your Majesty, although Lin Yi is skillful in resolving cases, adding dirt to the porridge pot is intolerable by heaven!

I implore Your Majesty to impose severe punishment! Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, difficult to explain to the common people across the land..."

It must be said, these old fellows are indeed adept at casting blame.

Just as those pretending disaster victims were taken away, this fellow jumped out with this remark.

However, coming from him, these words did not seem out of place at all.

After all, he is the Minister of Revenue, managing the finances and food supplies!

As the Minister of Revenue, it is only reasonable for him to despise wasting food.

Upon hearing these words, the ordinarily grim-faced Fourth Prince’s expression softened noticeably.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Liang to strike while the iron was hot in such a manner.

With that, the officials who were previously minding their own business seemed to have found their topic of interest, and started pointing at Lin Yi below.

They repeatedly mentioned how the National Treasury already had scant food supplies, and Lin Yi should not waste food.

Looking below, naturally, they were unaware of the changing sentiments among the officials above.

Focusing on Lin Yi, after handling those people, the crowd below also became very quiet.

Then, Lin Yi flipped himself upright on the high platform and shouted to the refugees below:

"There is a pot of thick porridge here, but it has been mixed with dirt. Anyone who doesn’t want to eat?"

After these words fell, the only sounds left in the court were the gulping of saliva.

Everyone wants to eat thick porridge, right?

As for the dirt mixed in, what does it matter?

What time is it now, not to speak of mixing in dirt, even eating dirt directly would be acceptable if it meant not going hungry.

Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction and then spoke:

"Very well, it seems everyone is keen to eat.

So, I want you all to remember one thing from now on.

Starting today, this moment, every pot you eat will have a spoonful of dirt mixed in!"

Boom~

As soon as these words were uttered, all the officials on the city wall were in an uproar.

Each one was spitting mad, almost pointing at Lin Yi below and starting to curse.

Even the young Emperor was now completely confused by Lin Yi.

She really couldn’t understand which act Lin Yi was trying to play.

Everything was going well, why stage such a scene suddenly?

How are you going to let me wrap this up!
