Chapter 318 Let the conman expose the scam

Magistrate Sun made no further mistakes, and with all the witnesses and evidence in place, Granny Wu had no choice but to confess. It was just a pity for those women she had abducted and sold; it seemed unlikely they could be found again.

But that is Lord Sun's task.

In fact, there are many human traffickers like Granny Wu in Yujiapu Village, but Granny Wu is ranked first on the village's human trafficking list, so she will definitely be the first one to be interrogated.

The case has only come to a temporary end and has not been fully investigated. The formal judgment will be delivered after all the cases in Jiapu Village have been tried.

These rescued women would certainly face criticism if they went back home, so they were temporarily placed in a branch of the girls' academy. Whether they meet the requirements of the branch and can stay there long-term will be determined after Yuan Hongqu returns to the capital after this study tour.

After a 15-minute break following the first class, the second class began.

The second lesson was more educational than the first.

This case is a fraud case.

The perpetrators were a family of five: an elderly grandfather, a middle-aged couple, a boy of about twelve or thirteen, and a girl of about seven or eight.

Don't be fooled by their seemingly ordinary family background; their ancestors were notorious con artists.

This lesson doesn't involve judging cases; it's dedicated to exposing various scams and frauds.

The old grandfather, like a storyteller, explained to the students one by one the ten most common scams: wind, horse, swallow, sparrow, porcelain, gold, appraisal, leather, color, and hanging. These included scams involving money and sex, staged accidents, fortune telling, selling fake medicine, and magic tricks.

There were some scams suitable for on-site demonstrations, and the family even gave a brief demonstration.

This was the first time someone had broken down a scam so thoroughly, leaving the students astonished. Many even said they had been deceived in the same way before.

Yuan Hongqu also felt that this family of five was quite capable.

They could form a group specifically to expose scams; the money they could earn just from the publicity and performance fees alone would be substantial.

This is much simpler than the little money they earn through fraud and constant fear.

However, we will have to wait until the case is heard and the extent of their crimes is determined before we can make any further plans.

“Granny, this family is quite interesting. Why don’t we put them on the estate and let them expose the true face of swindlers in their spare time, so that people will be more vigilant when they go out in the future?” Daiyu, who was sitting to the side, said softly.

"While the young lady's idea is good, it's making them ruin their own livelihood, and in fact, it's ruining the livelihoods of all the other swindlers. That family of five will definitely be hunted down by the martial arts world." Lan Su didn't think this was a good thing. The family of five had already offended the swindlers in the martial arts world tonight, and if they continued to expose the secrets, they would inevitably be hunted down.

Yuan Hongqu hadn't expected this. After hearing Lan Su's words, she realized that her thoughts were too naive, and that this wasn't modern society.

She took a hundred students with her on a trip of only three hundred miles, and she brought two or three thousand guards and bodyguards. In modern times, five or six teachers would be enough.

This is because there were too many unstable factors in ancient society.

On the stage, a family of five is putting on a show: the woman is pretending to be pregnant and trying to scam a horse-drawn carriage on the road.

Regarding the section on faking pregnancy, the woman specifically explained several methods to deceive the doctor's pulse diagnosis, making the pulse appear as a slippery pulse.

The students below were diligently taking notes, while wondering: Is this kind of secret recipe something they should know? Is it something they can know?

However, the fact that the dean dared to have someone put on a show clearly meant that he wanted them to remember it and be wary of being deceived in the future.

Many of them were students who had encountered similar things in the back courtyard. Now, thinking about it carefully, there are quite a few suspicious points about what happened back then.

The wet nurses and nannies who accompanied the girls were also shocked. They had experienced many more similar cases, and some of them had even been implicated in such scams. If they had known about these tricks earlier, they wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Letting the swindlers expose their own tricks is unprecedented. I believe our students will not be easily fooled in the future when they encounter similar situations," Mi Ling whispered to Yuan Hongqu.

“These are the most basic pieces of knowledge, but in reality, the scams we encounter are ever-changing and endless. If we really run into one, how easy is it to see through it?” Yuan Hongqu was not as optimistic as Mi Ling.

A real scam cannot be seen through at a glance, nor is it as simple as the one exposed here.

This lesson can help them stop and think more when they encounter scams, and make them more vigilant, thus achieving its purpose.

"Hongqu, should we also expose the blood kinship test scam?" Mi Ling's voice was low. She herself was a victim of the blood kinship test. It was only because Yuan Hongqu exposed the scam for her that she was able to get away unscathed.

Therefore, Mi Ling wanted to take this opportunity to expose the scam.

“That’s not a scam, it’s just an unsound and unfounded method of judgment. Today’s class has a schedule, and look, it’s starting now.” Yuan Hongqu gestured for Mi Ling to look at the platform.

Originally, Yuan Hongqu was wondering if there would be any trouble if this matter were exposed, since she herself had used this tactic before.

In order to get Xiangling out of the Xue family, Xiangtao used a blood test to deceive the Xue family.

Over the years, Xiangtao has treated Xiangling the same as her own sister, and she had already told Xiangling the truth about the blood test.

Now Xue Baochai is sitting below, and with her intelligence, it's not hard for her to guess that Xiangtao used tricks back then.

However, this is a rare opportunity to have a more convincing person expose this matter, so whether the Xue family will cause trouble is not so important!

Even if Xue Baochai guessed the truth back then, so what? Xiangling had already married Wu Tian and had a child. Was she afraid that the Xue family would come and take her back?

Back then, the Xue family's methods for seizing Xiangling were quite clever, weren't they?

Four glass bowls and a bucket of water were brought up from below.

Magistrate Sun, who had long since automatically become a narrator's assistant, cleared his throat and said loudly,

"Next is the last point of this lesson—"

"Blood test for kinship!"

Magistrate Sun scooped water from a bucket and filled two of the bowls with it.

Then he picked up the needle on the table, pricked his finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl.

Then the conman boy bit his finger and dripped the blood into the bowl.

The students could clearly see through the glass bowl that the two drops of blood had merged together, and they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
