Chapter 210 Confessed?
After confirming that Zhu Ming and the defenders would not punish them, the rebels joined the defenders' army in large groups.
During the days of the mutiny, Zhu Ming arranged for people to deliver food and wine every day, which immediately had an effect.
At this moment, the rebels were convinced by the emperor's grandson who did not care about them and followed the general in mutiny.
"You guys are so bold!"
Jinghui looked at the soldiers who were leaving him one after another, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Of the three thousand rebels, there are not many left except himself and a few generals around him.
The only ones left were because Zhu Ming had just announced that only those below the rank of a hundred households were allowed to surrender.
He shouted angrily, trying to call back the rebels who were about to surrender.
"I wonder who is really bold enough to instigate a mutiny."
Zhu Ming looked at Jinghui and snorted contemptuously.
If he had not instigated the mutiny, so many people would not have been killed or injured, causing panic among the people of Shanxi.
Xu Miaojin calmed down for a moment before looking at Jinghui coldly and pulling the bow in his hand to its full length.
When the bowstring sounded, Jinghui, who was shouting, was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse.
This arrow was a revenge for the arrow he had shot in the back of his hand and hit Zhu Ming.
"Tie me up!"
Seeing Jinghui fall from his horse, Zhu Ming shouted loudly.
Without the defenders having to take any action, the rebels who were planning to surrender rushed forward, tied Jinghui up, and sent him to Zhu Ming.
As Jinghui was captured, the other rebel generals also dropped their weapons in despair, silently dismounted from their horses, and surrendered.
"The rest of you, return to the barracks. We will not be held accountable for the crime of mutiny."
Zhu Ming nodded and shouted to the other rebels.
Now that the traitor has been brought down, there will be no need for any more unnecessary casualties.
And I don’t know what’s going on with the turmoil in the city just now.
Afterwards, he took Wang Xing, Cheng Ji and others, along with several hundred men, and headed for the city.
By the time Zhu Ming returned to the city, Si Jin had already led the soldiers to corner a dozen refugees.
The house that was on fire has been rescued by Si Jin and his men.
“Everyone is here.”
Only when she saw Zhu Ming coming back did she walk over and speak in a cold voice.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhu Ming nodded, realizing that he had not trusted the wrong person.
After thanking Si Jin, Zhu Ming rode his horse to the refugees and asked in a deep voice, "Who told you to do this?"
It was obviously not a coincidence that they set fire at this time and cooperated with Jinghui outside the city.
"No... I don't know him. A man in black gave me 100 taels of silver and said he set his house on fire after hearing two cannon shots."
Under Zhu Ming's questioning, the refugee trembled all over and hesitated for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence.
They didn't know who the other party was, they just took the money and were responsible for lighting the fire.
"Take him away and execute him tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming didn't ask any more questions and just had him take the man away.
Now his patience with these people has reached its limit.
If I had not chosen to believe Sijin and been deceived by these people, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be today.
"But why do they do it?"
Xu Miaojin frowned and began to ponder.
She had just arrived and didn't understand what was happening here. She only knew that a military mutiny had occurred in Shanxi.
"Where's Wang Ganju?"
When Zhu Ming was asked this question, he reacted immediately.
A mutiny of 3,000 people was impossible to succeed from the beginning. It seemed that the purpose of these people was just to cause chaos in Shanxi.
And doing this is to keep myself busy with these things and have no time to take care of other things...
For example, Wang Ganju!
"I have asked someone to take Wang Ganju away and hide him."
Sijin spoke.
"Do you know they are going to attack Wang Ganju?"
Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Sijin had hidden Wang Ganju.
"do not know."
Si Jin shook her head: "It's just that Shanxi City is in chaos, those people will definitely take advantage of the chaos to act, so I'm hiding just in case."
"Take me to see it."
Zhu Ming nodded, but even though Sijin had hidden Wang Ganju, he was still a little worried.
The influence of these people in Shanxi is far beyond his imagination.
It is even possible that there are figures from the capital behind these people.
In a dark room where all light was blocked out, a fat man with a haggard face was tied up and lying on the ground.
To prevent him from making any sound, his mouth was blocked with cloth and even his eyes were covered.
It was not until the door was opened from the outside that a little light came in, revealing Wang Ganju's already miserable appearance.
Noticing the unusual noise in the room, Wang Ganju immediately began to twist his body uncomfortably.
The visitor slowly walked up to him and pulled the cloth out of his mouth.
"You are finally here, take me out, take me out!"
As soon as his mouth was free for a moment, he began to shout in panic.
As he said this, he turned around and showed his bound hands to the newcomer.
"Master Wang, I am very pleased to see you so energetic."
The visitor spoke softly, but Wang Ganju, who was full of expectations just now, froze there.
He was so familiar with this voice.
"I came to see you, are you disappointed?"
Zhu Ming squatted in front of Wang Ganju, looked at him jokingly, and laughed.
As long as Wang Ganju is still alive, all the plans of others will be in vain.
"Your Highness...why is it you?"
Wang Ganju came back to his senses, trembling, his tone full of loss.
"Who is he?"
Xu Miaojin spoke in confusion.
"The local prefect, Wang Ganju."
As Zhu Ming spoke, he took off the cloth covering Wang Ganju's eyes.
The sudden light made Wang Ganju blink his eyes unnaturally and turn away subconsciously.
"You guys are really powerful. You can even carry out a mutiny."
Zhu Ming grinned at Wang Ganju only after he got used to the light.
Seeing Zhu Ming like this, Wang Ganju became completely desperate and stopped talking. No one knew what he was thinking.
"But even if they did that, he still didn't save you from me."
After saying that, Zhu Ming was a little fed up. It was enough for him to just confirm that Wang Ganju was fine.
No matter whether he confesses or not, as long as he is still in their hands, those people will definitely find a way to save him.
Now he had Jinghui as a bargaining chip in his hand.
He must know some of the details.
"Keep an eye on him."
He gave an order, standing up and walking towards the door.
"I admit it!"
Just as he reached the door, Wang Ganju suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice to Zhu Ming.
"As long as I know, I will confess."
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Ming with a dead heart.
I didn't expect that those people made such a big fuss this time, but still couldn't defeat Zhu Ming.
It seems that there is no hope for me.
Rather than being punished again, it is better to confess directly. You will die anyway, so it is more comfortable.
