"Here''s the thing..."


    Liu Yang told the story in simple language.


    "That''s what happened."


    Jin Ming showed a sudden look: "so, Wu Xiu was killed by himself?"


    "Wu Xiu wants to kill me. I can only fight back." Liu Yang said, "I hope the mountain Lord can understand."


    Jin Ming stared at Liu Yang for a while and asked, "why did you tell me the truth? Aren''t you afraid of my punishment?"


    Liu Yang shook his head: "if the mountain Lord really wants to check, he will be able to find out. Instead of being found out by the mountain Lord, I''d better take the initiative to explain it. In this way, he can leave a good impression on the mountain Lord."


    "You see very clearly. You know you can''t hide it, so you take the initiative to explain." Jin Ming hummed, "even if Wu Xiu made a mistake first, you can''t kill him directly. Do you know how much responsibility it is to kill a cave master without authorization?"


    "I just said that Wu Xiu wanted to kill me. I must fight back."


    "You can catch Wu Xiu alive. There''s no need to kill him!"


    "I''ve fallen out with Wu Xiu. If he doesn''t die, I can''t sleep at ease."


    "You..."


    "Either don''t do it. Once you do it, you should make things perfect and don''t leave hidden dangers for yourself."


    "You have a lot of courage to kill people." Jin Ming sneered, "aren''t you afraid that I''ll really punish you?"


    "I''m afraid. Why not? But I know the mountain leader is fair and will never punish me heavily."


    "Don''t wear a high hat for me! What you did this time is too bad. If I don''t punish you, I can''t explain to other cave owners."


    "I..."


    "If other people learn the same as you and commit suicide, wouldn''t it be chaos in the world?"


    "I left evidence."


    "That forged letter, do you think everyone else is a fool? Can you believe that letter is true?"


    "It doesn''t matter whether others believe it or not, as long as you believe it, mountain Lord."


    "I believe it?" Jin Ming was angry and happy: "let me tell you the truth. I know the handwriting of Master Li Shan. I can see that the letter is false at a glance."


    "Excuse me, mountain master, do other people know Master Li''s handwriting besides you?"


    "Others don''t know."


    "It''s easy to do. As long as the mountain Lord insists that what he believes is true, others have nothing to say. As long as I believe that Wu Xiu is a traitor, I''m not only innocent but also meritorious to kill him."


    "Hey! You''re kicking your nose and face, aren''t you? Why should I help you cover it up?"


    "Mountain master, I''ve already asked Wu Xiu''s confidants. Wu Xiu has indeed contacted mountain Master Li in private, and Wu Xiu also complains about mountain master''s injustice to him in private. Wu Xiu has a betrayal heart for a long time, and killing him before he betrays can be regarded as stopping the occurrence of a major accident. Mountain master, do you think, if Wu Xiu really takes refuge in mountain Master Li one day, he will be released A few bad words from the wind will directly affect your reputation. "


    "Oh, I want to thank you for that, don''t I?"


    "Mountain master, I admit that I have selfishness, but it''s more for your consideration... Anyway, I think I''m right. If you''re really angry, cut off my head. I won''t resist."


    "You boy..."


    Jin Ming glared at Liu Yang fiercely: "listen to me. This is the only time. It won''t be an example!"


    "Ah?"


    "Ah, what! Don''t you hurry and call the others!"


    "Ah?"


    "You don''t understand what I''m saying, do you? Call someone quickly! Call everyone here! I want to announce something in public!"


    "Oh... Ok..."


    ……


    It wasn''t long. Everyone came.


    "I''ve found out what happened." Jin Ming said loudly, "Wu Xiu... Defected. Liu Yang found him in time and intercepted him in time. It''s a great credit! I announce that from now on, Liu Yang will succeed Wu Xiu and become the cave master!"


    "Mountain master... You should think twice..." Mr. Lin''s face changed and hurriedly said: "there are many strange things in this matter. We can''t make a decision so soon. I think..."


    "Don''t talk too much, Mr. Lin. I know what happened."


    "Ah?"


    "Wu Xiu is a traitor. There is no doubt that Liu Yang has made meritorious contributions to killing Wu Xiu. It is natural to promote him as the cave master."


    "But..."


    "That''s it. It''s getting late. Let''s go back."


    Jin Ming went to Liu Yang and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder: "work hard and strive to make some achievements. As long as you are wholehearted to me for the public, I won''t treat you badly."


    "Yes." Liu Yang nodded.


    Jin Ming led Mr. Lin away and disappeared in an instant.


    "Congratulations to the cave master, congratulations to the cave master." Fat Li was the first to run over with a smile on his face.


    "Congratulations to the cave master! Congratulations to the cave master!"


    "Congratulations, cave master..."


    Everyone came forward to congratulate.


    "Cave master, today is a happy day. I suggest buying a party to celebrate... Look..." asked Li pangzi.


    "OK, you can do it." Liu Yang nodded.


    "OK, I''ll do it now." Fat Li ran away excitedly.


    ……


    On the way back, Mr. Lin couldn''t help asking, "mountain master, you know there''s something fishy in here. Why did you promote Liu Yang to be the cave master?"


    "Who will be promoted if Liu Yang is not promoted?" Jin Ming asked.


    "Er... Well... There are so many talented people under the mountain master that anyone can take over the position of cave master..."


    "Talented people? Hehe... Do you really think my men are talented?"


    "Mountain master... You..."


    "Mr. Lin, you don''t have to say these nice words in front of me to please me."


    "Ah? Mountain master..."


    "I have many mediocre talents and few talents, which is why I like Liu Yang at a glance. Liu Yang is a rare talent." Jin Ming said, "this is a good example. He took only a few days to bring down Wu Xiu, and there are reasons and grounds. We can''t find any problems. This means is not common to ordinary people."


    "What''s justified? It''s nonsense! Wu Xiu is not a fool. How can he defecte... Ten thousand steps back, even if he really wants to defecte, he will leave carefully and secretly. How can he be found by Liu Yang? The most interesting thing is that Liu Yang led Wu Xiu''s confidants to hunt down Wu Xiu and finally kill Wu Xiu. Aren''t you kidding?"


    "It''s really interesting." Jin Ming smiled and nodded: "Wu Xiu''s confidants who were raised with him finally took refuge in Liu Yang. Then Liu Yang led these people to kill Wu Xiu. Wu Xiu must have been very sad at that time."


    "I admit that Liu Yang has some small skills, but I think this man is impure and his origin is unclear. The mountain Lord directly promoted him to be the cave master. I think it''s a little hasty. If Liu Yang is a spy sent by the enemy... Let him be the cave master, it''s really bad." Mr. Lin looked worried.


    Jin Ming glanced at Mr. Lin: "since Liu Yang came out, you have been saying bad things about Liu Yang. Are you so small? Just because Liu Yang asked you to avoid and want to talk to me alone, you hate him?"


    "Ah... No, mountain master, don''t misunderstand." Mr. Lin quickly explained: "I''m not such a person. I''m just thinking about the mountain Lord..."


    "You make me have to misunderstand. Mr. Lin, you should know one thing. You are my staff. Your duty is to help me give advice and solve all kinds of problems. You are not gossiping in front of me. I hope you can be more relaxed and don''t hate anyone easily."


    "I... I..."


    "Liu Yang is a talented person. I appreciate him, so I give him a chance. As for whether he is a spy sent by the enemy... Let''s look at him slowly. If he is a spy, I will not let him go. If he is not, I will train him well."


    "Yes, the mountain Lord said yes."


    "Mr. Lin, you will have contact with Liu Yang in the future. I hope you can be generous and get along well with Liu Yang. I don''t want you to fight. Do you understand what I mean?"


    "Yes, I understand."


    "Well, let''s go."


    After being beaten by Jin Ming, Mr. Lin was much more honest and dared not speak ill of Liu Yang any more. On the surface, he looked like an open-minded teacher, but his resentment towards Liu Yang was deeper.


    All this is because of Liu Yang. Without Liu Yang... How could Jin Ming be dissatisfied with himself?


    You know, in the past, Jin Ming almost obeyed himself, but now he began to question himself and said some ugly words, which would never happen before.


    At this time, Mr. Lin has regarded Liu Yang as the number one enemy.


    ……


    After Jin Ming returned to his residence, he was just about to rest when he heard a noise outside, followed by a man in black.


    "Mountain master, this man broke through... We didn''t stop him... Please cure the mountain master..." several bodyguards ran in and knelt on the ground to apologize.


    "All right, it''s all right. You all go out." Jin Ming waved generously. He knew the black robed men who broke in. He knew that these guards could not be stopped, so he didn''t blame them.


    "Thank you, mountain master." Several bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.


    Jin Ming glanced at the black robed man: "what are you doing here? And he broke in directly. He didn''t understand any manners."


    "Politeness?" The man in black hummed, "you don''t have to be polite in front of people like you."


    "You..."


    "Cut the crap. I got the news that your man Wu Xiu died. He said he received the letter I wrote to him and was ready to defecte. Then he was killed by a group of men... I wonder when I wrote to Wu Xiu?"


    "Oh?" Jin Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "you''re smart enough to know so soon? It seems that you''ve planted many spies around Wu Xiu?"


    "Don''t talk about these useless things. Where''s the letter? Take out the letter and let me see it!" Lord Li shouted angrily.


    "Letter? What letter? I can''t understand what you''re talking about?"


    "Don''t pretend! Didn''t you say I wrote a letter to Wu Xiu? Take this letter out and let me see. If I wrote it, I''ll kneel down and apologize to you now. If it wasn''t written by me and forged by others, you must give me a statement today."


    "Oh, you mean that letter. Sorry, I can''t show you."


    "What do you mean? You''re too guilty to show me?"


    "What''s wrong with me? I''ve always been aboveboard and upright. I don''t know what the word guilty is."


    "Since you don''t feel guilty, why don''t you dare take out that letter and let me have a look?"


    "It''s not that I don''t show you, but that I can''t see it."


    "What do you mean? Why can''t you see it?"


    "The letter was accidentally destroyed."


    "What are you talking about? Destroyed?!"


    "Yes, it''s really ruined. It''s a pity to say. I wanted to take that letter to ask you for an explanation. I didn''t expect it to be destroyed accidentally, which depressed me for a long time. Without that letter, I''ll ask you for an explanation. You certainly don''t admit it, so I didn''t go to you. What I didn''t expect was that you came. Have you already I got the news and knew that the letter had been destroyed, so I dared to come to me? "


    "You fart, I didn''t know that the letter was destroyed, right! No!! you lied!!! The letter was never destroyed. How can you destroy the letter if you are so careful? You deliberately don''t take it out for me to see, because you know very well that the letter is forged or false. After you take it out, you will reveal the truth. I''m afraid I''ll chase you for an explanation 。”


    "Whatever you say, anyway, I have a clear conscience. That letter was destroyed. Do you believe it or not?"


    "Jin Ming, can you have a face? Can you have a face? Since you dare to forge that letter, don''t hide it and show it to me? What skills do you dare to take it out? You only dare to hide behind your back and engage in these conspiracies. You have the ability to fight me openly. What skills do you have to hide behind your back and engage in these conspiracies."


    "Keep your mouth clean. Don''t forget that this is my territory. It really annoys me. You won''t want to leave if I give an order."


    "Hey, you think I''m scared. If you leave me here, I''ll leave my words here. If you dare to touch me today, I''ll make you feel overwhelmed."


    "Hey, how dare you threaten me? Li, you don''t know what you did secretly behind my back? Say I''m shameless, I think you''re shameless. You think I don''t know that you secretly contacted Wu Xiu and wanted him to take refuge in you, and then beat me in the face. Dare you say it''s not true?"


    "No, what evidence do you have to prove that I contacted Wu Xiu privately? You take out the evidence. If there is no evidence, you are planting a frame up. I''m going to sue you at the house Lord."


    "Wu Xiu is dead. There is no proof of death, so you have the courage, right? I know I can''t give evidence, can you? I tell you, there are some things lovers are doing and watching. You have done so many dirty things behind my back. Sooner or later, you will be punished."


    "Jin, don''t talk to me about this. It''s useless. I''m here today to read the letter. I want to see if I wrote it. Now I order you to take out the letter and let me have a look."


    "There''s something wrong with your ears, isn''t it? I''ve made it clear to you that the letter has been destroyed. I can''t take it out. I repeat, the letter has been destroyed."
