Martial Arts: This world is different

Chapter 20 Promotion
Li Zhongyi knew that even if he stabbed Bao Guoping to death in this situation, he would inevitably be captured. He and Bao Guoping had no grievances or enmity, and they even had some friendship after working together for many years. Thinking of this, Li Zhongyi felt relieved. After firing Bao Guoping, he returned and stabbed the dagger at Lin Hu.

Li Zhongyi's move seems to be a style of play that hurts both sides. In fact, he must save the enemy. He tried to get out of the current predicament. However, Lin Hu did not dodge unexpectedly. The stabbing was on a layer of hard objects, and he couldn't penetrate it no matter what. At this time, Li Zhongyi's internal strength had been exhausted by Lin Hu, and he collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

Seeing this, Nangong Shaoqing hurriedly waved at the others. Brothers Long Yongfu and Long Yonggui immediately took the lead and pushed Li Zhongyi to the ground, capturing him alive.

The whole process was actually very short, but it was extremely dangerous. After the incident, Lin Hu leaned against the railing of the cell next to him, gasping for breath, while Li Zhongyi was pressed to the ground, his eyes fixed on him.

"Have you mastered the Kowloon Lion Kungfu?" Suddenly Li Zhongyi said this, Lin Hu was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what was going on.

"I wear soft hedgehog armor inside."

Li Zhongyi was stunned at this moment, and then laughed dumbfoundedly: "So that's the case, but you have to be careful, Lao Lin, our people have already set their sights on you, and the matter has just begun."

Lin Hu heard that he was slightly taken aback, and was about to ask for details, but the Long family brothers had already pulled Li Zhongyi up and put him down. When Li Zhongyi passed by Lin Hu, a smile appeared on the former's face. It was a smile that a person would only have when he was relieved. At that time, Lin Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a faint sense of foreboding.

"Are you okay?" At this moment, Nangong Shaoqing's question interrupted Lin Hu's thoughts.

"fine."

"Thanks to you this time, I will definitely ask Shangfeng for your credit later."

"By the way, what will happen to Zhongyi?"

Nangong Shaoqing smiled helplessly: "You are also the old Jin Yiwei, can you not understand?"

"...Actually, I admire him quite a bit, knowing that he can't do it."

"Your words are a bit dangerous, aren't you afraid that I will inform Shangfeng?"

"You won't." Lin Hu said firmly.

Nangong Shaoqing was slightly taken aback: "Are you so sure?"

"Well, you are very arrogant, you will never do such a thing."

Nangong Shaoqing looked at Lin Hu with a surprised look at that time, as if he knew him for the first time.

At first everyone thought that the whole matter came to an end here, but they didn't expect to hear the news that Li Zhongyi had been poisoned and died. According to Wu's autopsy, it seemed that he had taken the poison early in the morning. It was only then that Lin Hu realized what he had done before What happened to that ominous premonition?

In fact, he had sensed that Li Zhongyi had made up his mind to die at that time. Perhaps the other party had also sensed that the matter had been revealed, so he took the poison first just in case. If the action was successful, he would take the antidote, otherwise he would die. , perhaps this is also because Li Zhongyi knows what will happen if he falls into Jin Yiwei's hands, so he might as well settle it by himself.

In Lin Hu's impression, Li Zhongyi was a cheerful and outgoing person who was very loyal to his friends and colleagues. However, it was only now that Lin Hu realized that he didn't know the true nature of this boss. He was under unimaginable pressure. So he didn't seem to be giving up. Whether it is good or bad to do so may be a matter of opinion, but in Lin Hu's opinion, compared to most people who have been muddled all their lives, Li Zhongyi at least knows why he lives.

Although Li Zhongyi is dead, the investigation of this case has to continue. Fortunately, Dai Rongchang is still alive. Although he is only a peripheral guy in this matter, he still has some information about the remaining Jianwen party through his Jinyiwei.

According to what Dai Rongchang said, this group of people is very powerful, ranging from court officials to Jianghu warriors. Li Zhongyi joined them very early and has been secretly cultivating power in Jinyiwei. Dai Rongchang is the next generation of his development. This time, the female assassin was captured. This group originally planned to try to rescue them. For this reason, they contacted many people including Cheng Feng, but the plan did not go well, and finally they chose to kill her.

On the day of the incident, Dai Rongchang used gambling as an excuse to go to cook Xu Erniu, took advantage of his unpreparedness to poison the food, and then planned to plant it on Cheng Feng, but Dai Rongchang did not expect Li Zhongyi to be so ruthless. Want to kill Mikou.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole incident, Jin Yiwei raided the opponent's several strongholds in Nanjing according to Dai Rongchang's confession, but they were all empty. Obviously the other party also knew that the matter had been exposed, so they slipped away. Through Dai Rongchang, Jin Yiwei again Learned an amazing secret.

"As far as I know, these people are closely related to Shaolin, Wudang and other major Jianghu gangs, and even the leaders inside are their people. They plan to use the power of these gangs to make troubles if necessary in the future."

Shaolin, Wudang and other gangs are known as the Taishan Beidou of the Central Plains martial arts, and their disciples are all over the place. If they really want to mobilize them, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

On this day, Lin Hu was suddenly called to meet Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei. Anyone who knows anything about Ming history should know his name. During his tenure, the Jinyiwei really became a fascinating organization. And Ji Gang himself was also powerful, and in the end he conspired against the law and ended up being executed by Ling Chi.

Of course, these are all the history of Lin Hu's original world, and it is still unknown whether it will develop like this in this time and space, but at least it is an indisputable fact that Ji Gang is very popular in the officialdom. Really somewhat nervous.

Ji Gang's rise in the officialdom was quite rapid, so now he is still young and looks quite mighty, especially his pair of eyes are extremely sharp, which reminds Lin Hu of the eyes of a beast, as if he would choose to eat someone at any time.

There were several other high-ranking Jinyiwei present at the time. Among them was a middle-aged man in his 50s. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. Obviously overwhelming, Lin Hu knew that this was Weng Honglie, the number one master of Jinyiwei today.

Lin Hu first saluted everyone at that time, although Ji Gang's eyes were fierce and abnormal, his attitude at this time was still kind: "Excuse me, Lin Hu, I have read the files of the last few cases, especially the arrest of traitors. You have contributed a lot to Li Zhongyi's case."

"A lowly job is nothing more than being loyal to one's duty. The smooth completion of the case depends on the cultivation of the emperor Hong Fu and the officers."

"You are high and not arrogant, young man, you have a bright future. In fact, I have brought you here today because I have two things to tell you. The first is to congratulate you. The imperial court has approved the promotion of you as a senior official based on your recent achievements. Baihu, you have to make persistent efforts in the future."
