What made Su Qingluan secretly angry was that, listening to the symptoms described by Liu Sheng and Xi Niangzi, Liu Sheng's legs might have been smeared without anyone knowing or secretly drugged and forced to take some nerve-paralyzing drugs.
Thanks to the "experiences" of treating illnesses in her previous life, Su Qingluan has a considerable understanding of these psychotropic drugs. One important point is that this type of anesthetic drug, even the sedative and hypnotic drugs with relatively less strict control, will be addictive and have withdrawal reactions after repeated use in large quantities.
More importantly, improper use of this type of neuroanesthetic drug can cause the body to produce various neurotoxic symptoms, most of which are temporary, but can still be uncomfortable for a while. For example, it can slow intestinal motility, causing constipation, and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing vomiting.
Thinking of the pain she had suffered in her previous life due to the side effects of these drugs, and thinking about the fact that there was absolutely no drug dosage monitoring in this era, let alone any control of the minimum effective dosage, Su Qingluan felt so angry that she gnashed her teeth at Uncle Liu's body. She didn't know how much damage he had suffered.
This is even more hateful than the overtreatment in my previous life - because it is purely a scam!
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan felt even angrier.
Sometimes, when people are caught in a maze, it's easy to fall into blind spots. After all, Xi Niangzi and Liu Sheng were truly experienced people from all walks of life, having come into contact with all sorts of people. After Su Qingluan's words, they recalled the whole story and found many areas that were worthy of doubt and scrutiny.
It was just that they had fallen for the scammer's trick because they were eager to recover. And looking at the scammer's brilliant expression, they knew that even if what Su Qingluan said was not completely right, it was not far off.
Knowing that this was not the time to just be angry, Su Qingluan took a deep breath and continued to ask, "So, do you want to go to the county government and confess your guilt? You know, confessing your guilt can reduce your sentence."
The reason why Su Qingluan had a certain degree of understanding of the lower limit of the amount for severe punishment and some of the legal provisions was thanks to the law books she had borrowed from Mu Xingzhi and read them diligently.
At this time, Madam Xi also came over and stepped on the swindler's shoulder, making him unable to move. "It is said that you are a stubborn person who refuses to admit that your brother, a quack doctor, is a fellow practitioner. I call him brotherly. However, I wonder if your 'brother' will be like you."
"You...what on earth do you mean by that?!" Hearing Madam Xi's words, the con man couldn't help but struggle. Unfortunately, Madam Xi's footwork was exceptional, and the combination of her weight and her superiority made the force even easier. So after struggling for a long time, the man could only continue facedown, eating dirt, unable to see the expressions of the people above him.
Madam Xi kept her foot on the con man's shoulder and sneered, "Whether you like it or not, we will send you to the county yamen and report you to the authorities. We will also speak to the magistrate about your doctor 'brother'. I just wonder if your doctor can guarantee to keep his mouth shut like you do and not betray you just to avoid punishment."
Liu Sheng also said, "I heard that the county magistrate is honest and approachable. We suggest that you two be interrogated separately. I wonder if you can uphold your brotherly loyalty and live and die together without colluding with your confessions?"
Su Qingluan thought to herself that he was indeed a veteran in this world, and his words were simply heartbreaking!
In fact, the point of Liu Sheng's words was not whether a commoner from the Liu family could successfully "give advice" to the county magistrate, but to let the liar know that there is also a way of "separate interrogation".
This kind of "interrogation" does not even require the use of any harsh punishment. It is simply a tactic to attack the mind - in the absence of any cross-talk, can two people keep a common secret while threatening their own safety?
Simply advancing and retreating together is already very difficult, not to mention that there is a condition that is very fatal to this "alliance of lies" - being the first to confess and betray the other party can reduce one's own punishment.
So for a con man who wants to take crooked paths, how likely is it that he would keep the secret and not give the other party away, even at the risk of being betrayed and committing an even more serious crime?
