Liu Yang''s mouth tilted slightly: "OK, I can guarantee that every word you said today will not come out."


    "If you can promise, I''ll rest assured."


    The fat man breathed a long sigh of relief: "yes, I..."


    "Wait." Liu Yang waved his hand: "up to now, I don''t know your name?"


    "Oh! Look at my memory!" The fat man reached out and patted his forehead: "I forgot to introduce myself... I''m really sorry. My name is Li Hai. Everyone calls me Li pangzi on weekdays."


    "Fat Li?" Liu Yang smiled: "the nickname is quite appropriate!"


    "Don''t look at me as fat. In fact, I eat very little and seldom eat meat. Even so, I still keep growing meat, which makes me very upset."


    "Well, don''t talk about these useless things. Let''s get down to business."


    "Yes, yes, let''s get down to business..."


    Fat Li leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Deputy cave Master Liu, can I ask you something?"


    "What''s up?"


    "What''s your relationship with the mountain master?"


    "Why are you asking about this?"


    "I just ask casually. If it''s inconvenient to say..." Li pangzi smiled awkwardly: "in fact, I can guess that the mountain master must have a purpose to arrange you to be the Deputy cave master here."


    "Oh?" Liu Yang looked at Li pangzi quietly: "what do you think the mountain Lord has in mind?"


    "I sent you to monitor Lord Wu Xiudong." Speaking of this, Li pangzi leaned forward and lowered his voice: "I know... The mountain Lord is not satisfied with Lord Wu Xiudong... That''s why he sent you to monitor Lord Wu Xiudong..."


    "How do you know that the mountain Lord is not satisfied with Wu Xiu?" Liu Yang asked, "do you know something inside?"


    "I don''t know." Fat Li shook his head: "I''m all guessing."


    "Oh... You came here just like I asked?"


    "No..." Li pangzi continued shaking his head: "I came here... To make a deal with you..."


    "Deal? What deal?"


    "I know a secret of Lord Wu Xiudong, a secret enough to bring him down."


    "What secret?"


    "I can tell you the secret, but you must promise me a condition."


    "What conditions?"


    "After bringing down Wu Xiu, you should take over as the cave master? Can you let me be the Deputy cave master then? Don''t worry, I will cooperate with you well and will never fight against you."


    "I''m really curious." Liu Yang looked at Li pangzi with a smile: "you could drink with Wu Xiu last night, which shows that Wu Xiu still trusts you and regards you as his confidant. Since Wu Xiu is good to you, why do you betray him?"


    "This..." Li pangzi smiled bitterly: "you''re right. Wu Xiu is really good to me, but... For my own safety and future, I can only choose to betray him."


    "What do you say?"


    "Since the mountain Lord is dissatisfied with Wu Xiu, Wu Xiu will have bad luck sooner or later. If I continue to follow Wu Xiu, I will follow bad luck, so I came to you."


    "Oh, you''re thinking long-term."


    "If you have no foresight, you must have immediate worries. If you want to live longer in this world, you must pay more attention."


    "Well, you''re right." Liu Yang nodded: "people have no foresight, there must be immediate worries! I also like this sentence."


    "Vice cave Master Liu, look..."


    "All right, look at your honesty, I''ll give you a chance." Liu Yang nodded: "as long as the secret you said is really valuable. If you can bring down Wu Xiu, I can protect your life. As for whether you can be the Deputy cave master... I can''t guarantee it. I can only say... I will recommend you to the mountain master at that time. As for whether the mountain master will agree or not, I can''t control it."


    "As long as vice cave Master Liu recommends me, the mountain master will promise."


    "You have great confidence in me." Liu Yang smiled: "well, tell me, what secret have you mastered Wu Xiu?"


    Li pangzi took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "Wu Xiu privately contacted Lord Li and wanted to take refuge in Lord Li."


    "Who is master Li?" Liu Yang asked.


    "Lord Li and Lord Jinshan are sworn enemies. As long as they meet, they will quarrel and sometimes fight."


    "Oh..."


    Liu Yang''s eyes narrowed: "do you mean that Wu Xiu wants to betray Lord Jinshan and take refuge in Lord Li?"


    "Yes, that''s it." Fat Li nodded hard.


    "How do you know such a secret thing?"


    "Once when Wu Xiu was drunk, I sent Wu Xiu back to his room to rest. At this time, Wu Xiu said a few drunken words about taking refuge in Lord Li. I was very shocked after listening to it..."


    "Oh, you heard Wu Xiu''s drunken words."


    "Yes."


    "Then how can you be sure that Wu Xiu''s drunken talk is true? What if it''s false?"


    "This can''t be fake!" Li pangzi hurriedly said, "as the saying goes: speak the truth after drinking! At that time, Wu Xiu was drunk and his consciousness was blurred. He couldn''t help but speak the truth from the bottom of his heart..."


    "Don''t worry." Liu Yang waved his hand: "it''s not that I don''t believe you, but it''s a big deal. If I make a mistake, I''ll suffer. Therefore, I must confirm the matter."


    "How to confirm?"


    "There''s no proof. You''d better find evidence."


    "Evidence?"


    "Yes, as long as there is evidence, everything will be easy. At that time, Wu Xiu can''t deny it if he wants to deny it."


    "But... Wu''s practice is always careful. It''s hard to get evidence..."


    "Someone once told me that a person who does bad things will leave flaws even if he is careful! Now I give this sentence to you."


    "You mean..."


    "From now on, you will secretly monitor Wu Xiu and find a way to get the evidence of Wu Xiu''s collusion with mountain Master Li. As long as there is evidence, I will report directly to mountain master, and then mountain master can clean up Wu Xiu. At that time, I will tell mountain master what you have done, and mountain master will reward you."


    "This..."


    "Brother Li." Liu Yang said earnestly, "if you want to get benefits, you must be willing to pay. The more you pay, the more benefits you get. This truth... You should understand?"


    "..." after pondering for a moment, fat Li nodded: "OK, I know... Give me some time and come back to you when I get the favorable evidence..."


    "OK! That''s it!"


    After Li pangzi left, Liu Yang frowned and whispered in his heart: is this Li pangzi really looking for himself? There won''t be any problem here, will there?


    Let''s see what happens first.


    If Li pangzi really wants to expose Wu Xiu, he can properly pull Li pangzi. If Li pangzi is calculating himself, don''t blame himself for being cruel.
