"This is definitely not okay; otherwise, who would dare to come to the Infant Care Hall to adopt children in the future?"

"Is that the logic, Lord?"

Liu Dashan spoke extremely fast and sighed to Gao Yang.

Gao Yang nodded, raised his eyebrows and said, "After Family Head Liu said this, I understand; that is to say, this is a misunderstanding."

Liu Dashan sighed and said, "There are no parents in the world who don't love their children; if it weren't for being desperate, who would be willing to send their heart's flesh to my Infant Care Hall?"

"I can also understand."

"But when encountering this situation, I really cannot open my mouth to ask for the children, and I cannot say who the children's foster parents are; otherwise, if the commoners find out, they will definitely go and make trouble."

"Over time, the reputation of the Infant Care Hall will stink."

"It is precisely because of this that some commoners feel that I harmed their children, so they are unwilling to reveal it; in these ten years, things like this are not few."

"Sigh!"

When Liu Dashan said this, he sighed heavily.

The prayer beads in his hand continued to flick, making a huge sound.

At this moment, let alone the kind-hearted Lv Luo, even Wu Guang and Zhao Da fell into huge hesitation.

Liu Dashan's reason was impeccable.

This was like a huge closed loop; commoners, because they were desperate, sent their children to the Infant Care Hall, and some of the commoners could not survive and died in this natural disaster, but some commoners survived and wanted their children back, or wanted to see their children.

This is human nature, and it is also what parents will definitely do.

But the Infant Care Hall received the children and would definitely find a good family for them immediately; if they told the commoners who the children's foster parents were, the commoners would definitely go and make trouble.

If they didn't say, the commoners would suspect their children were harmed.

Under human nature, whatever you do is wrong!

Gao Yang was enlightened, and then suddenly said, "I heard that the Infant Care Hall has existed in Suiyang County for decades, and naturally has found good families for many children."

"Family Head Liu should have an account book record, right? For example, the number of children sent to the Infant Care Hall, and who adopted the children?"

Liu Dashan's face changed slightly, and then he smiled, "That is natural!"

"If Lord Gao wants to see the account book, I will order someone to get it."

This was clearly a polite remark, but Gao Yang smiled directly and said, "Then I will trouble Family Head Liu; with imperial orders on me, I cannot afford to be the slightest bit negligent."

"I want to take this account book away!"

"May I?"

Liu Dashan smiled and said, "That is natural."

"If Lord Gao takes action, I can also get a clean slate; why would I be unwilling?"

"Someone!"

"Go get the account book!"

Soon, a thick account book was brought up.

Gao Yang took the account book, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Lv Luo.

Subsequently, he said to Liu Dashan, "Family Head Liu, then I won't disturb you anymore, I will go first."

Liu Dashan stood up, "Then I will see Lord Gao off."

"No need."

Soon, Gao Yang led his people out of the Infant Care Hall.

Almost the moment Gao Yang left the mansion, the kindness on Liu Dashan's face suddenly disappeared, and his face became extremely gloomy.

He stood in the center of the main hall, his eyes like a poisonous snake, looking at the direction Gao Yang left, the prayer beads in his hand flicking with a crackling sound.

Behind him, the plaques sent by the government were still hanging high: "Saving the World and the People," "Model of Suiyang"!

"This Living Yama is truly difficult to deal with!"

Not long after.

Liu Hong walked up; his smile like a Maitreya Buddha no longer existed, and the simple and honest look on his face turned into a ruthlessness.

"Father, I suddenly remembered something, and I have a bad premonition in my heart."

Liu Dashan's eyes looked at Liu Hong, his eyes filled with confusion.

"What is it?"

Liu Dashan asked subconsciously.

"I heard that the Living Yama seems to be extremely good at mathematics; will he see the clues in this account book?"

Once these words were spoken, Liu Dashan's face changed drastically.

"The Living Yama is good at mathematics?"

Liu Hong was stunned, and then said: "Father, you don't know this?"

"When the Great Chu mission made things difficult for our Great Qian, it is rumored that the Great Chu mathematics master Zheng Suan was the number one mathematics master in Great Chu, claiming to be invincible in the world, and was once angered by the Living Yama to the point of vomiting blood on the spot!"

"What?"

Liu Dashan heard this, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

The number one mathematics master in Great Chu was angered by the Living Yama to the point of vomiting blood on the spot?

Slap!

Liu Dashan was so angry that he slapped Liu Hong on the face directly.

He said with a gloomy face, "You bastard, such important news, since you knew it, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Liu Hong covered his face, looking aggrieved.

"Father, you didn't ask either!"

Slap!

Liu Dashan slapped him again.

"Still dare to talk back?"

Both of Liu Hong's cheeks were fanned red, burning with pain, but he dared not speak.

The original pride on Liu Dashan's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bad feeling.

But after years of experience and seeing many big storms, he took a deep breath and calmed down again.

"Don't panic, the Master Zhai I invited is the recognized mathematics master in the entire Suiyang County."

"That Living Yama might not necessarily see the flaws."

Liu Dashan spoke to himself.

This sounded like he had confidence, and also like he was comforting himself.

"Someone, summon Master Zhai!"

"I have something to find him for!"

Liu Dashan wanted to ask Master Zhai well if he had confidence that the fake accounts he made would not be seen by the Living Yama.

This was his most proficient field!
