Chapter 44: I am saving him! Let me go!

The Dali Temple officials looked in the direction of the sound and found that the person coming was Dali Temple Minister Xu Xiao. He was about fifty years old, with black and white temples and a mustache. He was wearing a deep red official uniform and was glaring at Lin Jiaojiao who was rescuing the old man. "Lord Xu, you are back," Dali Temple Assistant Minister Feng Jun bowed respectfully to Dali Temple Minister Xu Xiao and pointed to Lin Jiaojiao, "Reporting to Lord Xu, this Lin Guniang is treating the witness."

"Treating the witness?" Dali Temple Minister Xu Xiao looked at Lin Jiaojiao with suspicious eyes, "I think this witness was intentionally pressed to death by her! You useless people, why don't you hurry up and pull the criminal away!"

The officials could only respond and then four or five people stood out at the same time, walked over, and pulled Lin Jiaojiao away from the old man's side.

When Lin Jiaojiao was pulled away by four or five officials, she struggled hard to save the person. She shouted hoarsely, "What are you doing! I am saving him! Let me go! If you don't do heart compression, his electrocardiogram will really become a straight line!"

She struggled to break free from the officials' restraint, her hair messy, but one of the familiar officials told her, "Lin Guniang, don't struggle anymore. That is our Dali Temple Minister Lord Xu, we can only follow orders."

"You, go and check if the witness still has breath." Dali Temple Minister Xu Xiao signaled Dali Temple Assistant Minister Feng Jun to go and check the situation.

"Yes, Lord Xu." Dali Temple Assistant Minister Feng Jun responded, walked to the old man's side, squatted down, and checked his breathing: No breathing!

He reached out to feel the old man's pulse again, looked up at Lin Jiaojiao suddenly, and then reported to Xu Xiao, "Lord Xu, this person has no pulse and has already died..."

Hearing Feng Jun's words, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes turned gray. She felt as if a large stone was blocking her chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Such a living life, a second ago he was still trembling and accusing her with out-of-tune words, and the next second he died because of the epilepsy and heart attack induced by intimidation...

The old man's corpse lay straight on the public hall of the Dali Temple, motionless. This picture was the thousand-jin boulder that pressed her so she could hardly breathe, and she even forgot to speak for herself.

"To cover up her own criminal evidence, the female criminal deliberately used the excuse of treating the witness to press his chest to death," Xu Xiao put his hands behind his back and asked sternly, "Recording Official, have you recorded it?"

"Lord Xu, I have recorded it." The recording official nodded repeatedly, his pen and ink flying.

Xu Xiao's voice was stern, "Lock the female criminal up and define the case as intentionally killing the witness. Behead her at the Meridian Gate in three days!"

"Obey!!"

"Lord Xu, what about the other witness...?" Dali Temple Assistant Minister Feng Jun pointed to the old woman. She saw the old woman trembling like chaff from fear, and a pool of wetness under her tattered skirt. The officials smelled a pungent smell of urine.

Xu Xiao glanced at the female criminal, "The witness is innocent. Release her from the Dali Temple."

"Yes! Lord Xu, are there any other orders?"

"Next, the Dali Temple will focus on investigating the assassination of Song Shijie," mentioning Song Shijie, Xu Xiao's tone was even sharper, "What are you still doing here?! Why don't you hurry up and investigate the case!"

"Yes!"

The personnel of the public hall took orders and got busy again. The old woman was so scared that her legs were soft and she couldn't stand up, so the officials dragged her out of the Dali Temple.

Lin Jiaojiao was still trapped in the self-blame and blow of not saving the person, but when the Dali Temple people were arresting her, she woke up like a dream: It was not her fault that she didn't save the old man!

As a medical student, she had been told many times in class that doctors are not omnipotent, doctors have many things they cannot do, doctors will also have mistakes, and doctors cannot save all patients!

This is ancient times, it is impossible to have an automated external defibrillator, and it does not have the necessary medical conditions to rescue a person with sudden cardiac death!

Not to mention that the old man also had epilepsy!

Even if he was saved, he might lose his life because of the lack of necessary nursing conditions later.

And he was a person who wanted to frame her!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao's brain was much clearer, and she felt even deeper hatred for the old hag in the Pei Mansion!

The one who should die is the old hag. She was the mastermind behind the old man's death!

Just as the officials in the public hall came up to put shackles on her, Lin Jiaojiao pushed the officials away and shouted loudly to defend herself: "He was not killed by me! The one who really killed him is you!"

"It is you who refused to give him artificial respiration and blocked my rescue process!" She pointed at Xu Xiao and scolded, "Especially you! Looking like a high official, but actually a dog official who treats human life like grass!"

"Bold criminal woman! How dare you treat Lord Xu like this?" Feng Jun had never seen anyone so bold, actually daring to scold the highest official in the Dali Temple. This was something he didn't even dare to think about!

Xu Xiao's face changed and he wanted to get angry, but suddenly he saw a bright yellow figure flash past somewhere, and his heart tightened: How did he come to the Dali Temple in person!

At this time, he couldn't care about Lin Jiaojiao's scolding, ordered Feng Jun to hurry up and lock Lin Jiaojiao into the dungeon, and then lifted his feet, wanting to walk over to welcome the noble person.

But Lin Jiaojiao was unrelenting. She knocked off Dali Temple Minister Xu Xiao's official hat, then walked forward in two or three steps, and before everyone could react, she had already grabbed Xu Xiao's collar from behind, "You stop!"

Xu Xiao was caught off guard and was grabbed by the back collar by Lin Jiaojiao, almost unable to stand steadily and falling to the ground. He never thought that a small woman could have such great strength, almost dragging him down!

The officials reacted, hurriedly rushing up wanting to pull Lin Jiaojiao away, but Lin Jiaojiao was ruthless, went up directly to the person who reached out to grab her, and bit him hard!

"Ah!" Feng Jun let out a pig-killing scream. He hurriedly pulled his bitten hand out of Lin Jiaojiao's mouth, but Lin Jiaojiao's teeth were sharp, and that bite broke his skin and blood flowed out!

"Catch her for me!" This time Xu Xiao was really angry, "A bunch of wimps! Can't you even catch a woman!"

The officials hurriedly rushed over and pushed Lin Jiaojiao to the ground. Even if she was powerful, she couldn't resist the overwhelming power of a group of strong officials. She was pressed to the ground by the officials!

She licked the scarlet on her mouth, then spat the bloody saliva in her mouth onto the ground, glaring at Xu Xiao with scarlet eyes, "Dog official, if you have the ability, dissect the corpse and find out his true cause of death! Instead of defining the crime and waiting for beheading as soon as you come up!"

At the moment of tension, suddenly a clapping sound came from far to near, "Makes sense, Lord Xu, what do you say?"

As soon as Xu Xiao saw the person coming, he immediately picked up his hat, put it on properly, and then knelt on the ground to salute, "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"

A group of Dali Temple officials were so scared that they couldn't care about holding Lin Jiaojiao down, all knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!" ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
