Zhang Tie heard this, first stunned, then a name flashed through his mind, his eyes widened, and he said in shock.

"Could it be... Lord Gao?"

Meng Ziyi did not speak; he seemed to have lost all his strength, slumped in his chair, muttering to himself.

"It's over."

"This time it's over."

Zhang Tie couldn't help but ask carefully, "My Lord, what is over?"

"Lord Gao has made up his mind. This must be the start of the cleanup. All participants of the Infant Care Hall will face a reckoning!"

"Without exception!"

Zhang Tie heard this and was suddenly stunned.

His expression changed constantly.

Meng Ziyi originally had full confidence; Gao Yang definitely knew the weight of that list. Clearly, by turning a blind eye, he could not only get money but also gain a heaven-sized help for free.

Gao Yang must have realized this point.

Even with his identity as a poisonous scholar, having offended so many people in the court, this was clearly the first choice after weighing the pros and cons.

But why?

He couldn't figure it out.

But this was no longer important.

Because mobilizing troops to seal the city was the decision Gao Yang had made.

Meng Ziyi raised his head, and seeing Zhang Tie's expression as if his parents had died, he couldn't help but console him, "Chief Yan Zheng, you didn't participate in this matter, why the expression as if your parents died?"

"On the contrary, I am full of sins and truly deserve to die. Tie me up; perhaps Lord Gao will give me a decent end."

Meng Ziyi stretched out his hands to his subordinates, saying with a sigh.

He knew that since Gao Yang was going to make a move, he had nowhere to run!

But then,

He saw Zhang Tie also stretch out his hands.

"Tie me up as well."

Meng Ziyi was instantly stunned.

He looked at Zhang Tie, and Zhang Tie looked at Meng Ziyi.

At this moment, everything was understood without words.

"..."

At the same time.

Infant Care Hall.

Inside the main hall.

Liu Dashan sat in the main seat, wearing a plain robe, turning prayer beads in his hand, his eyes like an ancient pool, bottomless.

On the left and right seats beside him, one person sat in each.

They were none other than the reclusive Scholar Zhou of Suiyang County and Master Jingnian of Ci'en Temple.

Although Scholar Zhou was very old, his voice was full of energy; he said with concern, "Family Head Liu, do you think the Living Yama will turn a blind eye?"

"Otherwise, we are in danger!"

Liu Dashan moved the prayer beads in his hand, making a clattering sound, and said indifferently, "This matter brings a hundred harms and no benefits to the Living Yama. Without solid evidence, if he wants to make a move, he will offend too many people."

"Although the Living Yama has the ability, it is unnecessary!"

But just as he spoke confidently.

Clatter!

A crisp sound rang out.

He saw the prayer beads in his hand break, the Buddha beads scattering and rolling on the ground, fleeing in all directions.

At this scene, Liu Dashan was instantly stunned.

A bad premonition surged in his heart.

The next second.

Outside the mansion.

A burst of dense footsteps sounded, and Liu Dashan heard the voice of the mansion's steward, "Without reporting, you may not enter the Infant Care Hall!"

But immediately after.

There were crisp "slap" and "slap-slap" sounds.

Two slaps tore through the sky, extremely loud.

At the same time, a voice that seemed to want to vent all the pent-up frustration from the bottom of his heart suddenly rang out.

"I've come to kill, why would I need to report?"

Following this voice, Liu Dashan saw Chen Sheng appear with large strides, head held high, chest out, followed by a large group of soldiers.

As soon as Chen Sheng met him, he grinned hideously at Liu Dashan, "Family Head Liu, we meet again."

At this instant.

A chill seeped into Liu Dashan's heart, rushing straight to his crown.

Chen Sheng brought troops here.

This demonstrated Gao Yang's attitude.

His face showed the same astonishment as Meng Ziyi's.

But immediately, it turned into a touch of composure.

Ever since he started doing this, he had thought of the outcome.

He smoothed his slightly wrinkled clothes and looked calmly at Chen Sheng, "No need to arrest me, I will follow on my own."

The next second.

Chen Sheng took three steps in two, striding forward.

Then, he directly slapped him twice fiercely.

Slap!

Slap-slap!

Chen Sheng used almost all his strength, directly knocking out two of Liu Dashan's teeth, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Dashan was stunned.

Chen Sheng flexed his wrists, squinting at Liu Dashan, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Do you know? I've long been unable to stand this ugly face of yours; now I finally feel refreshed."

"Completely clear!"

To the side.

Master Jingnian said, "Amitabha, Buddha is merciful. Benefactor, your behavior is wrong."

Slap!

Slap-slap!

Chen Sheng didn't say a word, and slapped him twice more.

"Appearing in the Infant Care Hall now, looking at you, you aren't a good thing either!"

"Is it right now?"

Master Jingnian, in a fit of anger, spoke again, "Benefactor, violence is wrong, especially forcing a monk like this!"

Slap!

Slap-slap!

Chen Sheng slapped him twice more.

"Is it right now?"

"No..."

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Hmm?"

"It's right!"

Master Jingnian saw stars and changed his words directly.

"Take them all away!"

"Seal the Infant Care Hall, and take good care of the children inside!" ===== CHAPTER 1045 =====
