If this matter is reported, Qian Hui Chun could naturally avoid part of his guilt, and might even make amends by doing meritorious deeds. Perhaps the court would be lenient and spare his life.
However, this matter is deeply entangled, and he actually has a hand in it. Those silvers, even if he only had a taste, he still stretched out his hand.
If the court investigates, he himself will have to bear the blame!
At that time, what difference would it make? Plus, due to the flood disaster, more crimes would be piled on, and he would face multiple charges!
Moreover, if he were to speak out, those officials would not spare him.
There's a fear that the court hasn't had time to pursue it, he might already be dead by others' hands.
To expose it means death; not to expose it, he might still die.
Chen Zhao is close to Qian Hui Chun, and he naturally understands what the master is hesitating about.
