Liang Qingshan told everyone a tragic story that sounds unlikely to happen, but actually happened.
In his story, the protagonist is what he calls the only victim in the case, the carriage driver Jia Liu.
The relationship between the Liang family and the Jia family is not as understated as what Liang Qingshan said before. Starting from their parents' generation, the two families have cooperated. One is running a tailor shop and the other is running a carriage and horse racing shop. They are mutually beneficial in business. They have supported each other until now, and they can be regarded as family friends. Although the two are not real brothers, they are not much worse than real brothers.
Jia Liu is the only son in his family. His parents passed away about ten years ago, leaving him a small courtyard and a carriage and horse racing business. Although he is young, he is loyal and honest. He does not play too many tricks in business and has always been diligent. Although the carriage and horse shop is not large in scale, it does a lot of business and the life is prosperous.
This kind of beautiful life ended one winter night four years ago. Because this time there were a lot of goods to be delivered and the journey was long. Jia Liu was worried and went with the delivery horse team. On the way back, he found a family of three dying from the cold on the roadside. He couldn't bear it, so he rescued the three people and took them home.
"The Duke, the Marquis, and the General, my brother, although not good at words, is kind-hearted by nature. When he sees others in trouble, he is willing to help them. When encountering such a situation, he will definitely not stand idly by. But who would have thought that this time he would actually be helping a group of crazy beasts?" Liang Qingshan shook his head and sighed, "Back then, he rescued people, settled them, invited good doctors to see their illnesses, and even personally I made a soup. If we ordinary people are left alone, we must be grateful. But this family of three is not only ungrateful, but also has evil thoughts. They want to snatch all my brother's property and keep it as their own. have."
"Oh? Is this what you think, or do you have any evidence?" Xue Ruitian played with the fan in his hand, "In front of so many people, you can't talk nonsense."
"Master Marquis, don't be anxious, just listen to what the villain says slowly!" Liang Qingshan looked at Jia Liu, who was kneeling beside him and said nothing, pointed at him, and said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel, " The villain always thought that it was a good thing that this kid never went to those messy places, not even to the theater. At least he would not be infected with those bad habits. But the facts proved that the villain was wrong, and he still had to see the world he should see. Of course, the villain has to admit that the girl is indeed good-looking. If he is a villain, he will also be obsessed with it. But he will never fall into it all at once, like he is completely obsessed and unable to extricate himself. " He sighed, "I don't think it's all my brother's fault. That girl is not a serious person. She started to seduce him in all kinds of ways from the day she moved into my brother's house. My brother is a hot-blooded guy who doesn't follow him very much. There is no way a silly boy that a girl has come into contact with can resist this, and it will only be a matter of time before she takes the bait."
"You think it was the girl who seduced him, you saw that?"
"We met by chance a few times, just...just..." Liang Qingshan was a little embarrassed, "Well, you know, Mr. Marquis, not only that girl is not serious, but that family of three is not serious, they... eh, they did it Those things about Liu'er are really unspeakable. Before Liu'er's parents passed away, they told the villain to look after him well, help him find a good wife, and live a happy life. But he Being fascinated by this family, I can't just watch my brother jump into the fire pit, right? But no matter how many times I tried to persuade him, this kid was obsessed. He had to marry this girl, and even had to marry this girl. The person broke off the relationship.”
“So serious?” Didn’t you make some excessive demands?”
"Half of the family property is used as betrothal gift." Seeing Xue Ruitian's eyes widened in surprise, Liang Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, you have never heard of it, right?" He looked at Bai Meng again, "Commander, may I ask Are there such marriage customs in Xijing?"
"No." Bai Meng shook his head, "Let alone Xijing, this has never been done in the past. This family's intentions are so obvious. Jia Liu, are you still stubborn? Is there something unspeakable?"
"That's for sure." Xue Ruitian looked at Jia Liu and sneered, "I guess he took advantage of the girl and was hit by the girl's parents. According to shopkeeper Liang, this should have been planned by the family of three."
"It's not according to the villain's statement. The villain has real evidence." Liang Qingshan stretched his legs, which were a little sore from kneeling. "My lord and marquis, please send a brother to the villain's shop and tell him My friend, there is a carved box on the top of the camphor wood cabinet in the back room, please help me get it."
Among the onlookers were the clerks of the Liang family. After hearing what the shopkeeper said, he quickly went back to get the carved box that Liang Qingshan mentioned and handed it over to the Shen family soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order.
Looking at the box in his hand, Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, shook it slightly, and handed it to Liang Qingshan without hearing the sound of the metal products hitting it.
Liang Qingshan took out the small key, opened the box, took out a notebook wrapped in oil paper, and respectfully presented it to Xue Ruitian.
Xue Ruitian looked at Liang Qingshan, took the notebook, and slowly flipped through it, "Is this... the evidence you said?"
"Yes, the villain has not been idle in the past few years. Since the appearance of this family of three, the villain has spent a lot of thought and connections, and found the most powerful sect in the world who is best at snooping to investigate. They spent a lot of effort to find out the origins of these three people and confirmed that they were liars and habitual criminals. In the past ten years, they not only deceived people in Daxia, but also in Liao and Jin. There are all kinds of tricks to deceive people. However, the most serious situation is this time with the villain brother."
Xue Ruitian read the evidence very seriously. The more he looked at it, the darker his face became. He felt that this was no longer a simple case, it was more serious in nature. Maybe Liang Qingshan didn't pay attention, but he had already noticed that in the evidence provided, They all vaguely mentioned that the appearance of this family is slightly exotic, and is also different from that of the Jin and Liao Dynasties.
"Jia Liu..." Xue Ruitian looked at Jia Liu seriously, "Do you know that their family is actually a foreigner?"
