Chapter 260: One More Time?
"What?! "The Police and the Hymn" again? System god, have you made a mistake? Seeing the world of escalating exams, Downing couldn't help but complain to the system. Follow? Dream?. lΔ
"This time it's an upgrade exam, and the main content is different from last time, so please treat it with caution." The system replied emotionlessly.
Seeing that he couldn't get any hints in the system, and he didn't know the content of the main quest, Tang Ning didn't take this promotion exam to heart, but when he came to the world of "Police and Hymns" again and saw the main quest, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because the main quest this time is actually "impersonating Tony-Downing's identity, and it won't be debunked within a hundred days!" βγ This made Tangning can't help but complain wildly in his heart: "Who is this Tony Downing?" I don't even know him, so how can I pretend to be him? You have to insist on not being debunked for a hundred days, how is thisβhow is this possible? β
Because of this series of problems, Tang Ning was negligent for a while in the cold wind of the street park at night and the two big men who came to him unconsciously, and without any defense, one of the big men took out a pistol and put it on his waist and whispered to him: "Man, we have no ill will towards you, and we have a great benefit to you, now obediently talk to us in another place." β
Tang Ning intuitively felt that these two guys should have a lot to do with the main quest this time, after all, it was impossible for someone to come and rob a homeless man, and now that the pistol was on his waist, even if he summoned the tiger rhubarb, it was estimated that it would be too late, so he obediently followed the two big men to a secluded corner.
When he got to the corner, another big man unexpectedly handed him a towel soaked in water and said to him, "Wipe your face clean." β
Tang Ning took the towel for some reason, scrubbed his face carefully, and then heard the big man with the knife say to the big man in black who handed Tang Ning the towel: "How is it?" Do you look like it? β
The man in black looked at it carefully for a long time, then nodded and replied with satisfaction: "Like, really like, if I didn't know that Tony's guy was dead, I would have admitted my mistake." β
"Then our plan should be fine, right?" The knife-wielding man asked tentatively.
"It's got to be okay, this is our last chance, we have to succeed!" The man in black said viciously.
At this time, Tang Ning couldn't help it, and asked, "Two, two gentlemen, do you have anything to do with me?" And who do you think I look like? β
The big man with the knife and the big man in black glanced at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "Boy, now a great good thing has fallen on your head, in distant England, there is a Mr. Douglas, although he owns two thousand acres of land, but unfortunately he only has two daughters, but no son, so once he dies, he can only be inherited by his nephew Tony Linde, and this Mr. Linde is even more unfortunate because he died half a month ago, and no one knows about it." β
"Why should this Mr. Douglas's land be inherited only by his nephew? Didn't he have two daughters? Tang Ning asked puzzled.
This explanation is more complicated, because in England, land is not a simple property, it is still theoretically a fief given by the king to his subjects, and must be linked to certain obligations. For example, many knightly fiefdoms provided at least one fully armed knight every year to serve the king for forty days.
With the passage of so many years, these fiefs will inevitably be transferred and inherited, and the law will allow them, but the various obligations borne by the fiefs will also be transferred, but other feudal obligations can be converted into money to replace, except that the real estate for military service cannot be replaced by money.
The Douglas family's 2,000-acre estate was limited to the obligation of a man to serve, and therefore could only be inherited by men, and this kind of estate was called limited inheritance or "limited inheritance".
Although Britain has long since replaced the knightly army with a conscription system, the law is the law, and the limited inheritance land with such a service obligation cannot be passed on to the daughter, and it is absolutely not allowed to be bought and sold.
Mr. Douglas, on the other hand, had only two daughters and no sons, so that after his death, his cousin Mr. Tony Lind would inherit his land and house, and his two daughters would be swept away, no matter how bad Mr. Douglas's relationship with Linde's cousin was, and how much he loved his daughters at the same time. The man in black patiently explained.
"Oh, I see, Britain is really an old-fashioned country, this kind of law should have been changed a long time ago." Tang Ning sighed, and at the same time, he suddenly remembered in his heart, as if he had seen a book called "885 British Tycoon" Internet eunuch article vaguely had such a plot.
But he still had a question: "But what does this have to do with me?" I don't know Mr. Douglas or Mr. Linde. β
The man in black looked Tang Ning up and down, and then said, "You really don't know them, but who made you look exactly like Tony." β
Hearing this, Tang Ning suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked tentatively: "You, you don't want to?" β
Before Tang Ning could finish speaking, the man in black nodded and replied: "That's right, we just want you to replace Linde's identity and inherit the property of the Douglas family, how about it, is this a great thing?" β
"But, as you just said, this Mr. Douglas is not dead." Tang Ning excused himself.
The man in black replied gloomily, "Don't worry, he will die soon." β
"No, no, it's hard, do you want to?"
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to play Tony's identity well and receive his property smoothly." The man in black patted Tang Ning on the shoulder and said.
PS: Yesterday I happened to see a divine book in Feilu "I am Teacher Chen of Rebirth", well, you read it right, it is the handsome teacher Chen who loves photography but does not understand computers. When I saw this book, I couldn't help but sigh to myself, two years ago, I posted a beginning with almost the same name at the starting point, but I didn't even review it, let alone sign it, so it seems that Feilu's scale is still big. By the way, the author of this book is the guy who wrote "Rebirth Scum Hui" at the beginning, and after Zha Hui was sealed, he went to Feilu to write Teacher Chen......
