Ganging up on one another

Yu Dong rolled her eyes. She had to admit that Kong Tai was indeed foolish, he was digging the grave of his daughter with his own hands, if there were no bodies, Gu Mu would at least have a chance to come out of the Yamen in a year or two. But if he was to insist that they looked for the corpses of the mers who were killed by Gu Mu, then his daughter would be locked up in the yamen for more than ten years.

After all, being locked up because of sheer suspicion and being locked in prison because of concrete evidence was different.

She rolled her eyes and sneered, "Wouldn't the Yamen officers find the evidence once they are captured and questioned? What's the rush?" Yu Dong paused and added, "Even if the corpses are not found, no one can ignore the fact that your daughter threw hot oil on her colleague and caused her to suffer severe burns. Her life is ruined because of your daughter, this alone is enough to have your daughter locked up."
