There are two scholars in Jiangkou Town, Taibai County, one is Su Cheng and the other is Li Liang. The two were born in the same year and month. Su Cheng was three days old. They played together since childhood. Although they were not brothers, they had a deep relationship.
Su's father and Li's father are also friends. They go out together to do business together all year round. Both families are rich families in the town and live a relatively prosperous life. But when the two were 5 years old, something big happened at home.
Su's father and Li's father went to Changsha to do business. By the end of the year, only Li's father was left to return home. Moreover, one of Li's father's calf was seriously injured and almost broke. He limped back home with one leg.
Father Li said: "We have a good business this year and have made a lot of money. But on the way back, the coachman colluded with bandits and robbed the mountain road. Brother Su was accidentally killed by a knife. I was stabbed in the calf while running away. In the crisis, fortunately, I met several corpses. With the help of the corpses, I escaped and went home." After learning the news, Su's mother cried and fainted. Li's mother secretly called her luck and kept chanting Buddha's name.
After the incident, Li's father said to Su's mother: "I have been with Brother Su for half a lifetime. Now he has left. Your family's affairs are mine. If you have any needs, just talk!"
More than a year has passed, and the two children are studying, Li's father paid money to send Li Liang and Su Cheng to a private school together. He also told them earnestly that they could succeed in their studies in the future. As for the cost of studying, they would pay wherever they read. All Su Cheng spent on studying was paid by him.
After entering the private school, the characteristics of the two children are reflected. Although they are all smart kids, their performance is completely different. Su Cheng is down-to-earth and diligent, and is meticulous on the road to study. Li Liang was much more playful and often liked to be clever. The private school teacher often scolded him, but he didn't agree.
When they were 18 years old, they both passed the college entrance examination and became scholars.
This year, there was a rural examination in the provincial capital, and the two originally planned to take the exam together. But Mr. Wang from a private school said, "With your talents and knowledge, there is no hope for you to take the provincial examination now. If you study hard for another three years, you may be able to pass the imperial examination!"
They all followed his teacher's advice and decided to take the provincial examination again in three years.
At that time, most of them would have to get married at the age of 18. They are all scholars, so naturally there are constantly matchmakers coming to talk about the media. Of course, the situation between the two families is different. The Li family is quite rich. Although the Su family has been sponsored by Li's father over the years, it is still much worse. They can only have enough food and clothing.
The brotherly relationship between Su Cheng and Li Liang is far worse than that of childhood at this time. Although it is better on the surface, the Su family has been sponsored by the Li family all year round, and the relationship between the two is quite special.
At that time, there was a Liu Juren in the town who worked as the county magistrate. There is a daughter Liu Yulian in his family who looks as if she is ashamed of the moon and flowers. At that time, the young men and rich gentry in the county were all looking forward to marrying Juren Liu.
But Liu Juren spoiled his daughter and promised her to choose her husband. Miss Yulian said, "If you want to marry me, you don't care about your appearance. You just need to write a poem for three months. I will choose my husband myself!"
So, all the scholars in the whole county who had not married wrote poems and sent them to Liu's mansion.
Su Cheng did not intend to participate in this matter, but at the urging of his mother, he also wrote an article to send it to him. Li Liang accidentally met Miss Liu at the temple fair , and he loved her crazy and wrote three long poems in succession.
Three months later, the matchmaker came to the Su family and said that Miss Liu had chosen Su Cheng and would marry the Su family on a date. Su Cheng and his son were extremely surprised, but they didn't expect to marry the daughter of Juren.
Not long after, Yulian married into the Su family with a generous dowry. Juren Liu also attaches great importance to his son-in-law and provides funding to his family. He believes that he will be able to pass the exam in the future.
After Su Cheng got married, Li Liang rarely went to his house. He felt extremely sad and felt strongly jealous of Su Cheng. This guy's father died early, and he relied on his own family to study and get into a scholar. When he was studying, his husband praised him and scolded him. Today, he even snatched away the woman he should have belonged to him!
But because of Li’s father’s attitude, Li Liang didn’t dare to say anything, but he just felt a sense of resentment in his heart.
Seeing that Li Liang rarely came to his home, Su Cheng went to the Li family to invite him many times. That day, he met Li Liang on the road and pulled him home to drink. Su Cheng said: "Our brotherhood for more than ten years must not be alienated because of my marriage. My wife is also a sensible person and will not talk about anything!"
Liu knew about this relationship and did not treat Li Liang as an outsider. When the two brothers were drinking, she added wine to the two of them. Li Liang always lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, and he looked very shy.
Liu sometimes jokes about him and says he introduces one of his cousins to him. But Li Liang refused, saying that he would study hard now and he would wait a few years before considering the marriage.
More than two years later, Li Liang and Su Cheng went to Fucheng to take the provincial examination together. In the final result, Su Cheng passed the exam successfully, and Li Liang lost his name.
But two months later, only Li Liang returned to his hometown. According to him, they encountered a pack of wolves on their way back, with six or seven wolves. The two of them fled separately, and Su Cheng was separated because of this, and it may have been unexpected.
Liu was shocked and hurried to report to the official. Li Liang took a group of officers to search in the barren mountain where something happened. Finally, he found Su Cheng's bloody robe under a cliff, and only a few bones were left in the body!
Su's mother and Liu were extremely sad. Su Cheng had suffered such a disaster when he was a juren! Su's mother became ill in grief and died of illness two months later. Liu was also extremely sad and became a little widow.
A lot of things happened in the past year. Shortly after Su's mother died, Li's father also died. Then something happened to Juren Liu. When he was a county magistrate, a county magistrate was corrupt and abused the law, and he was implicated and was imprisoned.
Li’s father passed away, and Li Liang took the lead in his family, and he had not yet married. One day, Li Liang found a matchmaker to come to Su's family and expressed his desire to marry Liu. Although Liu was a little embarrassed, he thought that he was her husband's good brother after all, so he finally agreed. Soon Liu married into the Li family and became a married couple with Li Liang.
It was not long after she married, and Liu regretted it very much. Li Liang was kind-hearted on the surface, but in private he had another virtue. At night, he used various methods to torture his wife. Once he refused, he would punch and kick her.
Li Liang often scolded her: "Do you still think of yourself as a daughter? You are just a loser. I'm just marrying you. I just want to wave my hand. Which woman can't marry you? You are still not tactful, and you are still thinking about that dead ghost!"
Liu hates that he is blind. She endured the humiliation and endured it alone in pain. The women in the village often go to the mountains to collect herbs. Liu doesn't want to stay at home, so he often goes to the mountains to learn to collect herbs.
One day, Liu went to the mountain to collect herbs and never came back. Li Liang had no results in searching, so he went to the county to report to the official registration and never took this matter to heart again.
After that, Li Liang became a playboy and often appeared in the willow alley. He also hooked up with some unruly women and lived a very happy life.
That day, Li Liang was a little bored at home and went to the back mountain alone to stroll around.
In the forest, he saw a girl collecting herbs. The girl was tender and beautiful, like a fairy. Li Liang looked around and no one was around. He suddenly became a beastly person and rushed over to defile the girl.
Afterwards, Li Liang warned the girl that she had power and power and never had the idea of suing him.
Unexpectedly, the girl stood up and clapped her hands and said, "Young Master, this is a small matter. Is it a pity to sue you? But since you have forced me to have me, I am yours. Go to the same place with me and I will give you a token. You will marry me in the future!" Li Liang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the girl to be so obedient, so he nodded and agreed.
The girl took him into a cave. As soon as he walked into the hole a few steps, the girl disappeared, and a huge red python appeared in front of her. This python was thicker than an adult hug, and was more than three feet long.
The python raised a huge snake head and stared at Li Liang coldly with his eyes.
Li Liang's face changed drastically, and he turned around and wanted to run. But the snake's body swung, and a snake's tail swept over. He was swept away and hit the stone wall. The bones on his body were broken, screaming in pain.
The python said, "Does it hurt? How did you kill Su Cheng by doing so many evil things? Why didn't you come from the real trick?" Li Liang wanted to defend himself, but saw a light emitted from the snake's eyes. His mind buzzed, no longer under his control, and told his crimes in its original form.

Originally, Su Cheng married Liu, which made Li Liang hate him very much, and this time it even caused a heart attack.
While resting in the mountains, Li Liang called Su Cheng to the edge of the cliff to see the scenery, but he palmed him from behind and pushed him off the cliff. After Su Cheng fell to death, he dragged him into the woods and cut many holes on him with a knife. Su Cheng's corpse attracted wild animals to eat, and then he ended up like that.
After Li Liang married Liu, he used all kinds of methods to torture his wife and vent his animal desires and dissatisfaction.
One day, Liu was collecting herbs in the mountains. When he encountered a thunderstorm, he saw a small snake that was about to die on the ground. She helped the small snake stop bleeding, bandage the wound, and saved the small snake's life.
Unexpectedly, the little snake is a snake immortal in the mountains. He suffered a great disaster when he crossed the thunder tribulation. At that time, all his magic power was lost. Fortunately, he sued Liu for help and survived. After the Snake Immortal was healed, he found Liu to repay his kindness. Thinking of the sadness at home, Liu stayed in the mountains, became sworn sisters with Snake Immortal, and practiced with her.
Snake Fairy sensed that after Li Liang entered the mountain, she deliberately turned into a beautiful girl and picked mushrooms in the forest. Unexpectedly, Li Liang did something beastly to her. Under the illusion of the snake fairy, Li Liang said everything.
At this time, Liu, behind the stone, walked out. She looked at Li Liang coldly, with no trace of emotion in her eyes.
Snake Fairy understood what she meant and squirted at Li Liang with a mouthful of black air. Amid his screams, his body gradually melted into a pool of black water, emitting a pungent fishy stench. Those who do evil deeds finally get the retribution they deserve.
