Chapter 1094 - 349: The Puppet Master, Curtain Falls_3
Thus, under the lure of a "considerable amount" of silver, he cast aside his underlying fear and willingly became Mo Erni’s blade, turning on Zhenzhen. After pushing Zhenzhen into the icy cave, he thought she was surely doomed to die, so he fled to Mo Erni to avoid Mo Family’s vengeance, and also to secure those fifty taels of silver, believing the sum could help him escape Jing City and lead a carefree life forevermore.
"How do you plan to deal with these two?" Xiao Ruiyuan asked.
Mo Yan’s expression turned icy as he coldly said, "Send them to the government. They won’t survive."
Although Zhenzhen was rescued, the fact that these two people had intended to take her life was undeniable. Sent to the Government Office, they would be tried for the crime of murder, without the concept of "attempted murder" that existed in a past life. This time, she would not be soft-hearted and let those two off the hook.
"In that case... I will send someone tomorrow to take them to the Government Office," Xiao Ruiyuan had intended to handle these two personally, but since Mo Yan wished to involve the authorities, he had no objection; the outcome would be the same either way.
Mo Yan realized he somewhat disagreed, yet offered no explanation. Those two indeed deserved to die, but they had no direct connection to him. Since the cycle of karma exists, she couldn’t let his hands be stained with the blood of irrelevant people. She certainly couldn’t let Zhenzhen kill them to resolve this enmity; sending them to the Government Office was the best option.
The next day, Xiao Ruiyuan’s subordinates threw Mo Erni and Wang Cai into Jingzhao Mansion. Jingzhao Yin dared not take the matter lightly; he temporarily set aside other cases at hand and focused on investigating this murder.
While the evidence was conclusive, due processes still had to be followed. Jingzhao Yin sent two constables to Liu Yang Village to verify the facts. The constables politely inquired about the specifics at Mo Family, then sought confirmation from the villagers. Once they were certain, they returned to the Government Office to report the results.
