Chapter 19 Loyalty

Author: Mao Senlin

"I think Cheng Feng is the most suspect, and we will still make a fuss about him next," Xie Yuan continued after Dai Rongchang was taken away.

Li Zhongyi said: "Not necessarily. Maybe the opponent is spreading suspicion to lure us into doubting Cheng Feng. In fact, the traitor is someone else."

Nangong Shaoqing nodded after hearing this: "What Zhongyi said is not unreasonable. It's not easy to draw a conclusion now. Everyone will work hard these days to find the traitor."

Finally, the day's interrogation came to an end, and Nangong Shaoqing deliberately dragged Lin Hu beside him before leaving.

"What do you think of Zhongyi?"

Lin Hu was stunned at first, but after a while he realized that Nangong Shaoqing was talking to him.

"That's right, he lives up to his name."

"You really think that?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"Suppose. I mean, if one day Shangfeng asks you to deal with him, can you do it?"

Lin Hu couldn't help but stop after hearing this and looked at Nangong Shaoqing in confusion.

The next day, news came out from within Jinyiwei that someone had testified that Dai Rongchang had purchased poison recently. For this reason, Lin Hu and others conducted a surprise interrogation of Dai Rongchang. However, faced with the evidence, the latter denied it and insisted that he was unjust.

Even after being tortured, he did not change his story. For this reason, Dai Rongchang was tortured to the point of death. In the end, Lin Hu, Xie Yuan and others couldn't bear it and came forward to intercede. Only then did Nangong Shaoqing relent and temporarily take Dai Rongchang into custody.

In order to fear that Dai Rongchang would be seriously injured and die, Jin Yiwei specially asked the exclusive doctor Bao Guoping to give him medicine that night. As a result, Dr. Bao just arrived at the door of the cell and was suddenly stopped by someone. He turned around and saw that it was the deputy who called him.

Qianhu Li Zhongyi.

"Li Qianhu, why are you here?"

"It's nothing. This Dai Rongchang is an important suspect. The superiors are afraid that he may make mistakes, so they have specially requested that his diet and medication be carefully checked. Doctor Bao, please don't mind. This is not deliberately targeting you."

"I understand. I have worked in the yamen for so many years. How can I not understand this rule? Li Qianhu, feel free to ask."

"Show me all the medicine you plan to give to Dai Rongchang."

"You see it's all here. I was told by the higher-ups that this suspect is of great importance, so what I brought here are all the best medicines for injuries." Bao Guoping opened the medicine box he carried with him as he spoke, and Li Qianhu flipped through it casually.

Turning the page, he suddenly looked at a young man behind Bao Guoping.

"who is he?"

"Oh, this is my apprentice named Gao Jie, why don't you follow me quickly?" Bao Guoping was about to introduce Li Zhongyi and his apprentice, when suddenly a man came out from behind and grabbed Li Zhongyi's wrist. Everyone present

Everyone was stunned on the spot. When they turned around, they saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars staring at Li Zhongyi.

"Nangong, why is it you!?" Li Zhongyi said in surprise, because he recognized that it was Nangong Shaoqing who caught him.

"Zhongyi, what do you have in your hand?" Nangong Shaoqing asked.

Looking again, Li Zhongyi's forehead was obviously sweating: "It's nothing."

Nangong Shaoqing turned Li Zhongyi's wrist over with all his strength. At this time, everyone around him saw clearly that he was holding a small medicine in his hand.

"Didn't I bring this?" Bao Guoping couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this.

Nangong Shaoqing's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost at this time: "Zhongyi, I didn't expect you to be a traitor among the Jinyi Guards."

I don't know whether it was because of pain or embarrassment. Li Zhongyi's facial features looked a little distorted at this time. At this time, Lin Hu and others who had been ambushing around him also appeared one after another. It seemed that this was a trap that had been laid for Li Zhongyi long ago.

"When did you know that I was a spy?" At this time, Li Zhongyi had already understood the situation, but he was still a little confused.

"It was you who reminded me of it yourself. When you were interrogating Cheng Feng, you said that maybe the other party was spreading suspicion about this matter, so I followed this line of inquiry and found out that on the day of the incident, before you went to visit Lin Hu, you and Dai

We met in Rongchang, but the female prisoner died within a few hours. Who would believe that this matter had nothing to do with you? But I really didn’t expect that a veteran like you would make such a mistake."

Hearing this, Li Zhongyi suddenly realized, and a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Who made this boy Dai Rongchang hesitate at the critical moment? I had no choice but to take the risk and coerce him personally. I didn't expect that bad things would happen to him in the end, but Nangong, you guys think

It’s not that easy to catch me!”

As Li Zhongyi said this, he suddenly took out a dagger from his back with his other hand and stabbed Nangong Shaoqing directly. Its shape and luster were almost exactly the same as the one that stabbed Lin Hu last time.

"Be careful, the dagger is poisonous!" Lin Hu shouted hurriedly when he saw this. Nangong Shaoqing reacted very quickly and dodged away. However, his control over Li Zhongyi eventually weakened, and the latter took this opportunity to get rid of Nangong.

Shaoqing strangled Bao Guoping who was standing beside him, and at the same time put a dagger to the latter's neck.

"Don't come over here, or I will kill him right away!" Li Zhongyi shouted sternly. At this time, his face looked as ferocious as a completely different person.

At that time, everyone formed a half-moon shape surrounding Li Zhongyi, but no one dared to step forward for a while. Xie Yuan shouted loudly: "Li Tou, please stop, we are all outside, you can't escape!"

Li Zhongyi said with a cruel smile: "Now that things have happened, all I can do is fight to the death!"

Nangong Shaoqing was holding the handle of the knife at this time, ready to take action at any time, but he was also afraid of hurting Bao Guoping, so he could only distract Li Zhongyi while talking to him while looking for opportunities.

"Zhongyi, why do you do that? Your family has been loyal for generations, why would you want to rebel against the court!?"

"Rebellion? I think you are the ones who are rebellious! Emperor Jianwen is the eldest grandson of Taizu and the son of Prince Yiwen. He is the legitimate son of the Ming Dynasty. King Yan raised an army to rebel. He used his uncles to force his nephews and his ministers to seek the master. Our Li family is because of

He is a loyal person for generations, so that’s why we won’t recognize him!”

Everyone changed their colors when they heard what Li Zhongyi said. You must know that this is treason nowadays. However, no one refuted it for a while, because everyone knew in their hearts that what Li Zhongyi said was the truth. No matter what the reason, today's Emperor Yongle

The throne was stolen from him, and his name was not justified. From this perspective, Li Zhongyi was only loyal to his name.

At this time, Nangong Shaoqing continued: "Zhongyi, please stop. It is impossible for you to leave alive today on your own."

Li Zhongyi gritted his teeth: "Nangong, everyone, to be fair, I don't want to be enemies with everyone, but we have to talk about right and wrong as human beings. King Yan is unkind and unjust, and I, Li Zhongyi, will never be willing to be his lackey. Today, I am not willing to be his lackey."

The thing is you die”

As Li Zhongyi was talking, someone suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his hand holding the dagger. This sudden attack even shocked Li Zhongyi himself. Just as he was about to react, he suddenly felt that his inner strength was disappearing quickly.

, he immediately realized what was going on.

"Old Lin, it's you!" Li Zhongyi turned around and saw that it was Lin Hu who had caught him. At this time, he was using the power-changing method to eliminate his internal strength.
