高祖詔使者於州刑人處宣告兵民，然後斬洛侯以謝百姓。 Emperor Gaozu sent an envoy to announce the case to soldiers and civilians at the site of execution in the province, then had Luohou beheaded to answer the people's grievances.

高祖聞而嘉焉，賜泥衣服一襲。 Emperor Gaozu heard of this and praised him, granting Ni a suit of robes.

將就法也，高祖臨太華殿引見，遣侍臣宣詔責之，遂就家賜自盡。 As he was about to face punishment, Emperor Gaozu received him at Taihua Hall, sent an attendant to read out an edict of rebuke, and then permitted him to take his own life at home.
