The arrest officers took away Mu Dazhong and Mu Danian, along with Mrs. Lin.
But the matter was not over.
Mrs. Jin and Mu Dade knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, noses running, as they recounted their 'bitterness' over the years to the County Magistrate!
"Sir, you have shown me a great kindness, and as your subordinate, I should have devoted myself to the court and to you, even unto death!
But now, my two younger brothers have made such a big mistake. I know I am guilty, firstly for not bringing them to justice sooner. Secondly, for troubling you at my daughter's wedding feast...
It's my fault. I ask you to let me accept punishment alongside my two brothers!" Mu Dade appeared willing as he addressed the County Magistrate.
