Chapter 1322: Re-entering Nanjing
Xu Pengju felt a pang in his heart, if there was chaos again at this time, it would be his responsibility. Before the crowd could fully react, the soldier saluted, turned on his horse, and flew away.
At this time, Luo Xin, Yu Dayou and others had already converged, and with nearly 30,000 people, they had come to ten miles outside the city, gathering those soldiers together, Luo Xin stood in front of them on horseback, and those soldiers looked at Luo Xin in fear. Luo Xin's gaze swept over everyone, and those people lowered their heads one after another, avoiding Luo Xin's gaze.
Luo Xin's eyes fell on the four injured people, these four people were the people who tried to escape from the roof and were shot down, there were nine people at the beginning, one escaped, four were caught, and the other four were shot dead at that time. Qin Shuang said to a person beside him:
"Interrogate those four people separately, I suspect they are not from the Nine Guards."
"Yes!"
Someone immediately took the four people away, and Luo Xin's eyes looked at the Nine Guards soldier opposite again, and said:
"Tell me, why the hell are you making trouble?"
Before those people could speak, Luo Xin said: "Forget it, it was the generals who came out by themselves, you listened well, and now you should be very clear about the seriousness of this matter." Don't say that I won't give you a chance, as long as you follow my orders, I will give you a chance to survive, otherwise you know what the outcome should be. I, Luo Xin, are not afraid of cutting off a few more heads, and I haven't cut them yet.
All the generals with official positions came out on their own, and if they didn't come out and were exposed by the soldiers, then I would cut off his head directly. ”
All the generals were in their hearts, and the people who originally wanted to shrink their necks and not come out also walked out with pale faces, and they knew that they couldn't hide it.
Looking at the dozens of generals standing in front of him, Luo Xin said lightly:
"Say it."
Seeing that none of the dozens of generals spoke, Luo Xin pointed casually and said, "You say." ”
The man squirmed his Adam's apple, his face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice:
"We ...... We want our salaries back. ”
"That's all?" Luo Xin said in a deep voice: "Say whatever you want to say, this official will give you this opportunity." ”
"And ......," the general gritted his teeth and said, "Never disarm." ”
Luo Xin's expression was calm, neither happy nor angry. swept his gaze over the dozens of generals, and then said to the people around him:
"Take them down separately and interrogate them separately."
"Yes!"
Some people walked out from both sides of Luo Xin and walked towards the dozens of generals. Luo Xin rode on his horse and looked at the dozens of generals and said:
"You should all know that when I killed hundreds of people in the Southern Guard, I killed them without interrogation at all. And today I have given you a chance, I hope you will tell the truth of the matter, and whoever tells the truth, I will definitely give him a chance to live. However, if there is a liar, I will not be soft when I kill people. ”
The dozens of generals were taken down with pale faces, and Luo Xin sent people to investigate among the remaining soldiers who brought them to make a noise.
More than an hour later, Luo Xin already had a stack of papers in his hand, these were confessions, and there were people on them.
Through layers of reports, the truth of the matter has appeared on this thick stack of paper in Luo Xin's hand.
First of all, all the soldiers' confessions were directed at the twenty-eight generals. And the confessions of nineteen of the twenty-eight generals were directed at the bodies of nine generals. In the end, the confessions of the nine generals were all directed at the three generals beside Xu Pengju, but the three generals were all in the inner city at this time, and they did not participate in the noise at all, at least not on the surface.
Looking at these confessions, Luo Xin smiled and called the generals who confessed to him and said:
"Guys, I don't think you're any stranger to me."
All the generals looked at Luo Xin in fear, and they were naturally no strangers to Luo Xin. Although Luo Xin was in the south for a few years, he was in Hangzhou. But he also led the army to fight the Japanese and had contact with them, and in the first two years in the south, he killed the officialdom to the ground, and won the title of Luo beheaded.
"No matter what your impression of me is, but the entire Ming Dynasty has a common impression of me Luo Xin, that is, my Luo Xin's words count, don't you deny it?"
Everyone agreed, Luo Xin really has nothing to say about this, even Luo Xin's enemies have to admit Luo Xin's trustworthiness. There is nothing that Luo Xin said that he did not fulfill.
"It stands to reason that not only did you make a noise, but you also laid siege to the inner city at the end......"
At this time, another soldier came up and handed Luo Xin a few pieces of paper, Luo Xin took it and looked down, the confession on these pieces of paper was from those people who flew on the roof, Luo Xin's eyes narrowed and said:
"Sure enough, it's Zhang Daoyuan's person."
Luo Xin simply handed the pieces of paper to the generals and said, "Who knows how to read?" ”
"Me!" One of the generals spoke.
"Read it to them."
The man took the paper, looked at it twice, and his face turned pale and his legs began to tremble.
"Read!" Luo Xin let out a loud sigh.
"Yes!"
The general shuddered for a moment, and immediately read it. By the time he had finished, everyone was stunned. Luo Xin's gaze swept over everyone majestically, and he said in a deep voice:
"Originally, from the moment you began the siege of the inner city, you were a capital offense. And now that you have obtained a confession, you colluded with the thief, do you think you are still alive? Not only will you not survive, but you will also be connected to the nine clans. ”
"Puff puff ......"
The generals all knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously and shouted:
"My lord, I am wronged! Wronged! ”
"Wronged?" Luo Xin's face sank like water and said: "Hand these to Your Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will think that you are wronged?" ”
"Woo ......"
Some of the generals were already crying.
"Shut up!"
Luo Xin shouted, and the generals hurriedly shut up, and then looked at Luo Xin pitifully. Luo Xin took a deep breath and said:
"I, Luo Xin, put down my words here, as long as you cooperate with this official well, this official will protect your life."
"Master Xie, we will do whatever the adults tell us to do."
"Daqing!"
"In!"
Luo Xin stood up and said, "Point a thousand cavalry, take ......"
Luo Xin's eyes looked at the generals in front of him and said, "You all know the three generals beside Xu Pengju, right?" ”
"Acquaintance!" The generals nodded.
Luo Xin casually ordered the three generals and said, "You three come with me." ”
Nanking.

The battlefield outside the city has been cleaned, the wounded are being treated, and the dead soldiers are being buried. Teams of soldiers are searching the outer city for the hidden Nine Guards.
