Chapter 19 Loyalty
"I think that Cheng Feng is the most suspected, and we'll still make a fuss about him." After Dai Rongchang was taken away, Xie Yuan continued.

Li Zhongyi said: "Not necessarily, maybe the opponent has set up suspicious positions to lure us to suspect Cheng Feng, but in fact the traitor is someone else."

Nangong Shaoqing nodded upon hearing this: "What Zhongyi said is not unreasonable, it is inconvenient to make a conclusion now, no matter how hard everyone is working these days, we must find out the traitor."

In the end, the day's interrogation came to an end. Before leaving, Nangong Shaoqing deliberately dragged Lin Hu by his side.

"What do you think of Zhongyi?"

Lin Hu was taken aback at first, but it took a while to realize that Nangong Shaoqing was talking to him.

"Not bad, people live up to their name."

"You really think so?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

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

Lin Hu couldn't help but stop when he heard this, and looked at Nangong Shaoqing suspiciously.
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 interrogated Dai Rongchang. However, facing the evidence, the latter denied it, insisting that it was wronged Even after being tortured, he did not change his words. For this reason, Dai Rongchang was tortured half to death. In the end, Lin Hu, Xie Yuan and others couldn't see it and came forward to intercede.

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 for treatment that night. As a result, when Doctor Bao arrived at the door of the cell, he was suddenly stopped by someone. Qianhu Li Zhongyi.

"Li Qianhu, why are you here?"

"It's nothing. This Dai Rongchang is an important suspect. The higher-ups are afraid that he might make a mistake, so they specially asked him to check his diet and medication in detail. Doctor Bao, don't mind, this is not deliberately targeting you."

"Understood. I have worked in the Yamen for so many years, can I not understand this rule? Li Qianhu, just ask."

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

"You can see that it's all here. It has been told that this suspect is of great importance, so what I brought are all good wound medicines." Bao Guoping opened all the medicine boxes that he carried with him, and Li Qianhu flipped through them Turning over, he suddenly looked at a young man behind Bao Guoping.

"Who is he?"

"Oh, this is my apprentice's name is Gao Jie, don't hurry to follow me!" Bao Guoping was about to introduce Li Zhongyi and his apprentice, when suddenly a person jumped out from the sideways and grabbed Li Zhongyi's wrist. Everyone was taken aback on the spot, and when they turned their heads, they saw a pair of star-bright eyes staring at Li Zhongyi.

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

"Zhongyi, what are you holding in your hand?" Nangong Shaoqing asked.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi's forehead was obviously sweating: "It's nothing."

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

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

At this moment, Nangong Shaoqing's face seemed to be covered with a layer of severe frost: "Zhongyi, I didn't expect you to be one of the traitors in Jinyiwei."

I don't know if it's because of the pain or the embarrassment. Li Zhongyi's facial features seem a little distorted at this time. At this time, Lin Hu and others who have been ambushing around have also appeared one after another. It seems that this is a trap that has been set for Li Zhongyi.

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

"It was you who reminded me. During the interrogation of Cheng Feng, you said that maybe the other party was suspicious about this matter, so I followed this line of thought to investigate, and it turned out that you went to visit Lin Hu on the day of the incident with Dai Rongchang met, and the female prisoner died within a few hours. If you say that this has nothing to do with you, who would believe it? But I really didn't expect a veteran like you to make such a mistake."

Li Zhongyi suddenly realized when he heard this, and a smirk suddenly appeared on his face: "Who made Dai Rongchang hesitate at a critical moment, so I had to take the risk of intimidating and luring him personally. I didn't expect that the bad things would eventually happen to him, but what do you guys think of Nangong?" It's not that easy to catch me!"

As Li Zhongyi was speaking, suddenly his other hand pulled out a dagger from behind and stabbed it at Nangong Shaoqing. Its shape and luster were almost exactly the same as the one that stabbed Lin Hu last time.

"Be careful, the dagger is poisonous!" Seeing this, Lin Hu hurriedly shouted, Nangong Shaoqing reacted very quickly, and dodged at that time, but his control over Li Zhongyi was weakened after all, and the latter took this opportunity to get rid of Nangong Shaoqing strangled Bao Guoping who was on the side, and at the same time held the dagger against the latter's neck.

"Don't come here, or I'll kill him right away!" Li Zhongyi yelled sharply. At this time, he looked like a different person.

Everyone surrounded Li Zhongyi in a half-moon shape, but for a while no one dared to step forward, Xie Yuan shouted loudly: "Leave your hands, Chief Li, we are all outside, you can't escape!"

Li Zhongyi said with a sinister smile: "Now that things have come to an end, I can only fight to the death!"

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

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

"Rebellion? I think you are rebels! Emperor Jianwen is the eldest grandson of Taizu and the son of Prince Yiwen. He is the rightful son of heaven. King Yan rebelled, used his uncle to force his nephew, and used his ministers to seek the master. He is loyal and good from generation to generation, so he will not be recognized!"

Hearing Li Zhongyi's words, everyone changed their colors. You must know that this is a big treason nowadays, but no one refuted it for a while, because everyone knew in their hearts that what Li Zhongyi said was the truth. Li Zhongyi's throne was snatched, and his name was not justified. From this point of view, Li Zhongyi was only loyal to his own name.

At this time, Nangong Shaoqing continued: "Zhongyi, please hold back. With your own strength, it is absolutely impossible to leave alive today."

Li Zhongyi gritted his teeth: "Nangong, everyone, in all fairness, I don't want to be enemies with everyone, but we have to talk about right and wrong, King Yan is not benevolent, and I, Li Zhongyi, will never be willing to be his lackey. the thing is you die"

While Li Zhongyi was talking, suddenly someone from the diagonal stab rushed up and grabbed his hand holding the dagger. This happened so suddenly that even Li Zhongyi himself was shocked. Just as he was about to react, he suddenly felt that his inner strength was rapidly disappearing. , He immediately realized what was going on.

"Old Lin is you!" Li Zhongyi turned his head and saw that it was Lin Hu who caught him. At this time, he was using Huagong Dafa to eliminate his internal strength.
