Chapter 552 Stabbed
The Minister of Justice is so overwhelmed that he might as well burn him to death!
"My Lord, what shall we do?"
There are many people among these people whom they cannot afford to offend. If they use force and hurt others, won’t they be the ones who will be in trouble?
"Sir, why don't we get that Fairy Bai Lian out and let her tell these people in person that he is a liar?" Otherwise, they will have no good life if they continue like this.
The Minister of Justice was a little hesitant. What if something went wrong after he got the person out, wouldn't he die faster?
But these people were determined not to leave, and he couldn't chase them away...
The Minister of Justice’s brows were so furrowed that he might as well pinch a fly to death!
Finally, after careful consideration, the Minister of Justice decided to bring the person out and let her explain things to these ladies. It would be more convincing if she said it in person.
Thinking of this, the Minister of Justice ordered a prison van to be brought over and the prisoner was locked in the van so that she could not escape.
"Since you don't believe me, I'll let her come out and tell you in person!"
The Minister of Justice waved his hand and the officers came over with the prison cart.
When those people saw that the White Lotus Immortal, whom they believed in the most, was locked up in a prison van like a stray dog, they rushed over in anger.
"Master, Master, are you okay?"
Fairy Bai Lian had been questioned enough in the cell these days. She thought she was doomed. When the officers dragged her out, they whispered a lot in her ears, saying things like confessing her crimes in public. She heard it all, but she felt so uncomfortable that she had difficulty opening her eyes, let alone speaking to explain.
"Great Immortal, how are you?" The general's wife rushed to the front and almost cried when she saw Great Immortal Bai Lian like this. She didn't cry so sadly when her husband died.
The officers gritted their teeth and stopped these people, not allowing them to get too close.
"Back off, back off, everyone back off, she has something to say to you!" The Minister of Justice finally squeezed in and shouted at the top of his voice.
When those people heard that the White Lotus Immortal had something to say to them, they all stepped back.
After they had pulled a certain distance away from the prisoner van, the Minister of Justice lowered his voice and said to the White Lotus Immortal: "Tell them the truth about what I just said to you. If you tell the truth, I will give you a lighter sentence."
When Fairy Bai Lian heard that her crime could be mitigated, she struggled to stand up slowly, holding on to the wooden railing of the prison van.
“I, I…”
The Great Immortal Bai Lian swallowed hard and was about to speak when an arrow flew quickly from not far away and pierced through the Great Immortal Bai Lian's chest with a "swish".
"ah!"
The incident happened suddenly and everyone present screamed in fright.
The officer reacted quickly, drew his sword and blocked the prison van and the Minister of Justice.
The Minister of Justice was also frightened out of his wits. If the arrow had been a little off, the person who would have been pierced through the chest would have been him!
"Quick, bring the prisoner in, doctor, go find the doctor."
The officials escorted the Minister of Justice and the White Lotus Immortal to the yamen.
The ladies were also frightened by the scene and dared not make any more noise. They all fled away.
Their running blocked the officers who were chasing the murderer, and when the crowd dispersed, the murderer was nowhere to be seen.
The White Lotus Fairy was hit in the chest by an arrow, but luckily it was a little off target. If it had hit her heart, she would have had to go to see the King of Hell on the spot.
"Doctor, what's the matter? Can the patient be saved?"
The doctor looked at the arrow that almost pierced the chest of the White Lotus Immortal, and after struggling for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous. I'm not too sure. My lord, you should report it quickly and see if you can ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
The imperial physicians treat the nobles in the palace. Would they be willing to come and save the life of a prisoner?
But this case was of great importance, so the Minister of Justice immediately prepared to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
However, when he arrived outside the imperial study, he was told that the emperor was happily playing with the queen in the imperial garden and it was unknown when he would come over.
When the Minister of Justice heard that the Empress was there, he became excited and immediately went to the Imperial Garden with a thick face.
As soon as the Minister of Justice arrived outside the Imperial Garden, he smelled a strong fragrance. The smell was so fragrant that he almost forgot to greet Xiao Jin and Su Ying when he saw them.
"Look at the Minister of Justice, he must be confused by the incense."
Su Ying's cold voice startled the Minister of Justice and he came back to his senses, "Your Highness, Your Majesty."
Xiao Jin calmly handed a roasted chicken wing to Su Ying and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Su Ying picked up the chicken wing with chopsticks, blew on it, and took a bite. The chicken wings were marinated by Uncle He and were very flavorful. After taking a bite, she felt as happy as a god.
The Minister of Justice looked at the Emperor and the Empress eating and drinking as if no one was around, and it was really... so greedy!
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Xiao Jin didn't even raise his eyelids, "Huh? What crime?"
"The White Lotus Immortal has been assassinated and is now in imminent danger. Please, Your Majesty, punish me."
Xiao Jin paused for a moment, "There are so many people guarding the Ministry of Justice Prison, and you actually let the assassin take advantage of the opportunity?"
The Minister of Justice looked even uglier, and could only tell the general's wife and the others about the trouble. "I tried to stop them in every way, but it was useless. I can't let the general's wife set herself on fire outside the Ministry of Justice. I can only let them bring the White Lotus Immortal up, but they took advantage of it. It's my fault for not thinking carefully. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Did you pull this person out to use as a living target?" Su Ying gave the Minister of Justice a look while eating barbecue.
The Minister of Justice wanted to cry, "I am incompetent..."
"Is he dead?"
The Minister of Justice said hurriedly: "He is not dead yet, he is still hanging on to his last breath."
Su Ying frowned slightly, "The other party wants to silence me. I guess this White Lotus Immortal is not telling the truth."
If that was all the information that the White Lotus Immortal knew, it would be difficult for them to catch the person hiding behind the scenes, and there would be no need for the other party to take the risk of killing to silence him.
Unless the White Lotus Immortal has something that makes the other party afraid.
"I said that charlatans are full of nonsense and not a single word of truth is told."
After Su Ying finished speaking, she took a leaf to roll up the barbecue, dipped it in the sauce and put it into her mouth.
"I order you to save her. If she dies, you can forget about your official position. If you can't even protect a prisoner, what use is there for me to have you?"
The Minister of Justice's knees went weak and he knelt down in front of the two men.
"I am a damned humble servant. I beg Your Majesty to ask the imperial physician to save the patient. Other doctors simply don't dare to take over."
When the Minister of Justice said this, his eyes kept glancing at Su Ying.
In fact, he wanted Su Ying to take the initiative to speak up and take care of this matter, but the Queen seemed not interested at all!
