Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 179 - 177: A Glimmer of Dawn (The 12th Update)

Charles really wanted to say, if you don’t want to do business with us, then just send us away.

Even if you don’t send us away, just ignore us and we would leave on our own.

Besides, even if you don’t let us go and don’t want to do business with us, what about giving you everything we have?

At the very least, you could spare me a way to live.

Isn’t doing business all about the deal, not necessarily about benevolence or righteousness?

Moreover, it’s fine if the deal doesn’t work out, there’s no rule sayings one can’t ask for an exorbitant price.

But now, before we even had the chance to ask for a high price, we’ve been caught.

This is simply lacking in martial virtue.

But now, seeing Lin Yi, they have finally seen hope and can pour out their grievances.

Seeing this, Charles suddenly burst into tears, which even Lin Yi did not expect.

As for the other foreigners around, seeing Charles’s expression, their faces also conveyed a similar sentiment.

Although they did not cry out loud, they all looked at Lin Yi with hopeful eyes.

They now pinned their hopes solely on this person before them to let them go.

Charles had even more on his mind, although he didn’t know the extent of the other party’s authority, whether they could let him go or not, but in any case, at the very least he could find out the current situation through him.

Whether he was to live or die, how he was to be treated or punished, he knew absolutely nothing.

During these days, they lived with constant trepidation.

Including every word spoken by the prison guard, it all made them very anxious and fearful.

Every time the prison guard came to deliver food, it scared them, fearing it was someone coming to lead them to their execution.

They wanted to rush to the bars again, but then they saw the hawk-eyed Prison Director nearby.

This made Charles subconsciously shrink his neck and also stop in his tracks.

But those pitiable eyes still turned towards Lin Yi, causing Lin Yi to chuckle helplessly.

Then, he turned his head and smiled as he said to the nearby Prison Director:

"I say, how do you usually treat them that you’ve tormented this bunch into such a state?"

However, when the Prison Director heard this, he wore an expression of being wronged:

"My lord, you’re accusing me wrongly, these people are foreign envoys, without Your Majesty’s decree, how would we dare to do anything to them?

We treat this group with utmost care, like our ancestors, and they eat whatever we eat every day.

You can see for yourself, their living environment here isn’t much different from that of our prison guards."

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he seemed, his face even carried an expression more wronged than Dou’e.

Seeing this, Lin Yi found it somewhat amusing and waved his hand with a smile towards the Prison Director:

"Rest assured, I am not blaming you. These Foreign Devils are no good anyway; however you treat them is not considered too much."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the Prison Director’s eyes immediately lit up.

Although no prisoners had been sent here in recent years, as the Prison Director, he naturally understood all the ins and outs of these matters.

Lin Yi’s words had many implications.

At the same time, he roughly guessed that Lin Yi surely must not care much for these foreigners.

Immediately, he showed Lin Yi a knowing smile:

"My lord speaks so, and I understand entirely. Please rest assured, I will take good care of these foreigners."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Yi just shook his head with a wry smile:

"It’s too late to say anything now, today I’m going to take all these guys away.

Haha, I suppose it’s their fate, it seems that they are not destined to suffer this misfortune."

The Prison Director immediately closed his mouth and stepped aside.

At this moment, Lin Yi once again turned his gaze towards Charles inside.

And Charles was intently looking back at Lin Yi, his voice dry as he asked:

"Is it true, are you going to execute us?

Oh, my God. Are we really going to be buried in a foreign land? freewёbnoνel.com

Are we really never going to return to our homeland?"

As he spoke, he turned his eyes towards Lin Yi, filled with a pleading look:

"Your Excellency, may I request that after you execute us, you cast us into the vast sea, we want to return to our homeland."

At this point, a tear fell down his cheek, clearly showing how desperate he was at that moment.

His expression also instantly influenced his subordinates around him, as a bunch of them started sobbing along.

However, upon seeing this, Lin Yi was amused and couldn’t help but chuckle:

"Charles, my old friend, are you in such a hurry to meet death?

Don’t you want to live?"

Those words about living instantly revived Charles’s hope.

Without caring about the stern looks from the prison guards nearby, he rushed over like a madman.

He came up to the bars, holding onto them with both hands, looking at Lin Yi with hopeful eyes.

Just as the Prison Director was about to step forward, Charles suddenly knelt before Lin Yi with a plop:

"I, I, I certainly don’t want to die!

Your Excellency, as long as you save our lives, as long as you let us live, we are willing to offer up all our treasures! Including those glazed glass vessels we brought!"

Then, like suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he spoke to Lin Yi frantically:

"Oh, right, Your Excellency, not just these gold and silver jewels, but also our glazed glass vessels.

I can even teach you the craft of making glazed glass.

Yes, that’s right, I know the craft of firing glazed glass vessels, I can do this craft.

This is worth more than any amount of money, once you master this craft, you will definitely become the wealthiest person in the entire You Country.

You may not know, even in our place, glazed glass is very expensive.

In the previous kingdom, we traded our glazed glass vessels for ten thousand taels of gold.

They are all hidden on our ship, all yours if you let me go.

Moreover, if you truly master the craft of firing glazed glass, that gold will be inexhaustible.

And I believe, without my help, it would be impossible for you to fire glazed glass."
