No. Zilu’s situation may have made it personal but it doesn’t change the fact he was a dangerous Thumb Capo, Pinky and Ten Blades of the East. Letting Lei Heng roam around would come to bite us even if he made a deal to not attack us because we went into direct conflict of someone of that station.
Jia Qiu had to kill him to keep Zilu’s Pinky cover, to reduce Hongyuan’s risks under Xichun’s rule and to narrow down the repercussion to himself. The Thumb woild have less issues with a Capo dying to someone of his station and even if they did something about it he’d be the main target. We are in their shitlist but we have been there since long ago and our priority isn’t that high.
