Chapter 26: Release
"Is there a need to be so hasty?" Du Huoguan felt compelled to remind him: "Jailer, while the Qi family's own strength is limited, their backing in the Heavenly Court cannot be underestimated. Killing someone's daughter without a reason truly isn't justifiable, and it will be difficult to explain to the Heavenly Court."
Nie turned and sat on the brocade couch, asking: “What was the reason Shi Chun was arrested?”
Du Huoguan: “Theft.”
Nie: “Then let it be theft.”
“…” Du Huoguan choked, speechless.
Qi Yueru comes to visit someone in prison and casually steals something, and then the city guards are all just decorations, and you even personally kill her? Does that reason make sense? Someone would have to believe it, too.
However, he quickly understood the intention.
It was precisely because the reason didn’t make sense that it could protect someone.
Anyway, he would still have to personally handle the fabrication of charges later.
