Guo Zhongting smiled and explained to him: "Copper shoes are copper shoes, burn a pair of shoes to red, wear them on your feet, and then pour hot copper juice into them and fill them up." When it cools down, your feet will grow in those bronze shoes, and you have to wear them everywhere, which are beautiful. ”

When Adu heard this kind of criminal law, he was frightened: "You, you, you...... Don't you dare! I'm a registered eunuch in the palace! ”

Guo Zhongting deliberately laughed: "You also said that you are just a low-level eunuch." You offended the prince and disposed of you in one sentence, who dares to ask more? ”

Hearing this, Adu began to tremble. Not to mention him, even Xilingyue was scared when she heard the criminal law of the "bronze shoes".

Li Chengxuan saw that he was relieved, so he said slowly: "This king will give you one last chance." If you tell the truth, you should have a glimmer of life; If you still refuse to speak, you need not say more. ”

Aduxu was frightened, struggled for a while, and finally confided the truth: "I am Wang Qiuluo's younger brother, Wang Chundu." ”

"You are Wang Qiuluo's younger brother?!" Xiling Yue was greatly surprised, and everyone present was also surprised.

"What, you hurt my sister and Jiang Gong's family, do you have a grudge with me?"

Xiling Yue did not return the favor. To a certain extent, Wang Qiuluo was indeed killed by her, if she hadn't let Guo Zhongting intercept him at the city gate, maybe Wang Qiuluo would have escaped from Zhenhai and fled away as Jiang Yunyi.

She looked at Adu very calmly: "Your sister committed suicide, but I killed her." ”

Adu heard her admit it in person, and she admitted it so frankly, and she was even more annoyed: "You didn't hesitate to kill my sister and the entire Jiang family in order to climb to King Fu, are you a femme fatale?!" ”

"No, I'm not." Xilingyue replied frankly, "It was your sister who did something wrong and was exposed by me, and she committed suicide in shame." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Adu stood up excitedly, regardless of his hands being tied behind his back, blindly rushing in front of Xilingyue.

Xiao Yi and Guo Zhongting stopped him in time, only to hear him retort angrily: "My sister is kind and intelligent, and she is compassionate, not what you said!" ”

When Xiling Yue saw him react like this, she knew that he didn't know what Wang Qiuluo had done, so she had no choice but to pick and tell him what happened in Zhenhai.

After listening to this, Adu's eyes widened and he refused to believe it, and muttered in his mouth: "No, my sister is not such a person!" She clearly wrote to tell me that she had been freed from slavery and was accepted as a righteous daughter by the Duke of Jiang, and she was given the name ......"

"It's called Jiang Yunyi." Xiling Yue said it for him, "This is the real name of the daughter of the Jiang Mansion." ”

When Adu heard this name, he seemed to have been hit by something, and gradually shed tears.

Li Chengxuan also asked: "Did your sister tell you that it was Gong Jiang who was the master to remove her slaveship?" ”

Adu nodded: "Yes." ”

Li Chengxuan chuckled: "Then she must be."

It is a lie to you, the official slave is pardoned and separated from the slavery must be approved by the Son of Heaven. Do you think that a former doctor who has been in charge for many years will go to great lengths to come to the present saint for the sake of a small slave in his family? ”

Adu opened his mouth to refute, but found that he had nothing to say.

Seeing that he was hit by this, Xiling Yue couldn't bear to investigate his mistakes, and said kindly: "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about it." In fact, your sister is not a vicious person, but she was deceived for a while, and she wanted to get out of slavery too much, so she did a lot of ungrateful acts. She had already remorseed herself before she committed suicide. When Xilingyue said this, she glanced at Li Chengxuan, and said to Adu, "But you stabbed the prince's people, whether you let you go or not, I don't count." ”

Adu looked up at Li Chengxuan, and before he could say anything, he saw Li Chengxuan waving his hand: "Thinking of your first offense, this king will not be held accountable." ”

Adu lowered his head and didn't speak, but his stiff shoulders relaxed significantly.

Xilingyue looked at him, her eyes showed pity, and she asked Li Chengxuan instead: "Does the prince have a way to help him get out of slavery?" ”

"Out of slavery?" Adu asked in disbelief.

Li Chengxuan glanced at him and sighed: "Okay, after all, the Wang family has been an official slave for more than a hundred years, and no matter how big the sin is, it should be paid off......"

"Whoever says we are guilty, we are wronged!" Adu suddenly argued loudly.

"Huh? Wasn't the Wang family involved in Liu Sili's rebellion case and beheaded by Empress Wu? Xiling Yue asked rhetorically.

"Not at all! That's not true! Adu shook his head again and again and denied, "Our Wang family has never participated in the rebellion at all, let alone know Liu Sili!" This is all an excuse made by the martial queen, she wants to take the opportunity to extinguish her mouth! ”

"Why did she kill her?" Xiling Yue realized that there was something else going on.

Adu hesitated for a moment, quite afraid of Li Chengxuan, and refused to speak clearly.

Li Chengxuan knew his concerns: "Don't worry, as long as you don't become the son of heaven, this king will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Adu hesitated and said: "Because our Wang family has discovered a secret, which is hidden in the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng, involving a royal ancestor. ”

"Teng King Li Yuanying?" This time, Xi Lingyue, Li Chengxuan, and Guo Zhongting said in unison.

Adu was surprised: "How do you know? ”

The three of them did not answer, but Li Chengxuan asked him: "Could it be that King Teng really rebelled when he was alive?" ”

Adu shook his head and denied: "No, it's not King Teng, it's Queen Wu." ”

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this. Empress Wu's rebellion and usurpation of the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty have long been witnessed by history books, and it is also a past that the Li Tang royal family is most reluctant to mention. Perhaps the Wang family had the foresight to know about this at the time, but more than 100 years have passed, everything that should have happened has happened, and this matter is no longer a secret.

"There's a lot of grievances here." Adu gloomily said, "My ancestor Wang Li is the younger brother of Wang Bo Prince An. When he visited friends in Hongzhou, he accidentally discovered that Wang Zi'an had hidden the information about Empress Wu's rebellion in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", so he informed Wang Zi'an's brother and told them to denounce it. It's a pity that Gaozong was critically ill at that time, and the matter did not reach the heavens, but was learned by the Empress Wu. She repeatedly suppressed our Wang family, and took advantage of Liu Sili's rebellion to kill all Wang Zi'an's siblings and exile my ancestors, and since then our branch has been an official slave for generations. ”

"It turned out to be a matter involving the usurpation of the Tang Dynasty by Empress Wu." Xiling Yue frowned slightly.

Li Chengxuan also frowned. More than 100 years have passed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false back then, and only Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" has survived. He couldn't help asking: "You said that Wang Zi'an wrote this matter in the "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion", this king asked you, what are the sentences?" ”
