Chapter 286 Worse than Pigs and Dogs

After arriving in Lingnan, Yue Fuli first sold all the goods he brought, then asked Yue Yi and others to buy the goods to take back, while he went to find the exiled ministers.

After several days of investigation, Yue Fuli finally had a clue and decided to look for someone the next day.

What Yue Fuli hadn't expected was that those ministers actually lived like that. Honestly, she knew that life was difficult for exiles, but she hadn't imagined it would be this difficult.

Not only was he skinny, but his clothes were also tattered, making him look like a beggar.

What made Yue Fuli even more difficult to accept was that they were actually working in a mine. From time to time, there was a supervisor beside them cracking a whip, and if they worked even a little slower, they would be whipped.

Yue Fuli simply couldn't imagine how those ministers who had once lived a life of luxury could endure and survive such days.

Yue Fuli came this time just to visit them. If they were not doing well, she would help them and make their lives a little better.

But seeing this situation, Yue Fuli knew that if these people were not rescued, they would die sooner or later.

But how can we save people?

They are criminals, and even if they are rescued, they will be wanted unless their deaths are faked.

Yes, let them fake their death.

If that was the case, she would have to find the drug that could cause the person to fake their death, and then come back to save them. It would be best if the supervisor fell ill in the next few days and couldn't supervise them.

Thinking of this, Yue Fuli watched in secret for a while, then became invisible and quietly approached the supervisor.

The supervisor felt a slight pain, as if he had been bitten by something, but when he looked closely, he found nothing.

Because they were in the mountains and there were a lot of insects, the supervisor just thought it was an insect bite and didn't take it too seriously.

It was not until he suddenly felt unwell, had a headache and a fever that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

So he had to leave the workers in the mine and hurried to find a doctor.

There was more than one supervisor in a mine, and Yue Fuli repeated her old tricks, making several supervisors sick.

The miners breathed a sigh of relief when the overseer's problems arose. The former ministers also gathered together and began to talk.

At this moment, Yue Fuli came up to the group and quietly asked them, "Do you want to leave here?"

Hearing the voice, several ministers were startled and turned around to see Yue Fuli coming to their side at some point.

"You, who are you and why are you here? What do you want to do?" Several ministers asked Yue Fuli while looking at her warily.

Yue Fuli smiled, picked up a stone and gently squeezed it, then showed her hand to the others. Then she said, "As you all have seen, if I had any ill intentions towards you, you would have died long ago. I came here today to save you."

"Save us? How can we save us? We are criminals. Even if we leave here, we will be wanted."

"Don't worry about that. As long as you want to leave, I have a way to save you, and I won't let you become a wanted person."

"Is this true? We don't know each other, why should we trust you?" Several people still looked at Yue Fuli warily, thinking that she had bad intentions.

Yue Fuli didn't answer them. Instead, she looked at them and asked seriously, "Are you going to stay here forever? Or do you have any extravagant hopes for the emperor, thinking he will pardon you?"
