Zed is a nice guy and honestly I would had reacted the same way

"young Zed marched forward to kill the cowering man, but Kusho held him back. Despite the horrors of Jhin's actions, the legendary master decided the killer should be taken alive and left at Tuula Prison. Shen disagreed, but accepted the emotionless logic of his father's judgment. Zed, disturbed and haunted by the murder scenes he had witnessed, was unable to understand or accept this mercy, and it is said a resentment began to bloom in his heart"

Now i Know what started it

You know, Kusho might have wanted to interrogate Jhin about his clientele since we know from his lore that shadowy figures are operating in Ionia. Zed showed his puerile side in that occasion and I'm saying that because his role in the order would have been the arbiter of balance and not a special execution force.

If a madman you fail to stop for 4 years while his actions makes your tough-as-nail mentor and adopted father's hair go white. I don't blame him for losing his shit and being a usurper. Dude still cares about ninjutsu but he is so twisted by the horrors of Jhin murders that he needs some kind of help. I actually favor Kennen of sparing Zed because the dude needs help.

It seems pretty derp of Shen's dad to let Jhin live in jail after his mass murder spree. The only two ways I can see this are as follows.

He left Jhin alive as punishment. Jhin may have been badly injured in his capture and left crippled for (as far as Kusho knew) life. Rather than grant him a merciful death, Kusho saw a long life in prison as a crippled, broken man a fitting punishment. When the shadow council of whomever sprung him, they offered to fix his mangled limbs and make him whole again. He got those hextech limbs from someplace. And yes, I don't care what was said in other threads... those are artifical limbs.... not "armor".
He felt killing Jhin was unjust. Perhaps because he had already been crippled in his capture and heaping further suffering on the man was cruel and dishonorable. Or perhaps because he recognized that Jhin is mentally ill in the extreme and Kusho took that to mean he was not responsible for his actions. They thought Jhin was some sort of demon or spirit before they found him, remember? Perhaps they thought that evil spirits were toying with him or that his actions, while horrific, were not his fault. Perhaps he just wanted to understand Jhin's motives and he never would with him dead.
