"I—I see, I'll transfer the property to the two gentlemen as soon as I receive it, right?" The reason why Tang Ning behaved so well-behaved was not because he was afraid of these two guys, but because he could use them to help him complete the main quest, otherwise he didn't know anything about Tony Linde, so how could he pretend to be?

Seeing Tang Ning so cooperative, the man in black nodded with satisfaction and said: "Boy, are you very on the road, but it is impossible to transfer, because according to the law, this kind of limited inheritance of land cannot be sold, but you can sublease the land to us at a low price, and the amount and lease period can also be longer." ”

Also from the book "1885 British Tycoon" Downing learned that during this period, British real estate management did not have to be as troublesome as the Chinese landlords of the same period, and had to hire a group of dogs and thugs to collect rent, and there was a profession called agent in Britain at that time, or directly agricultural capitalists, such as Mr. Douglas, who signed contracts with agents to subcontract their own properties to him, and then how much rent this land could receive had nothing to do with him, even if the agent went bankrupt, Mr. Douglas's big deal was to change another agent, and his ground rent was collected in advance anyway; And if the agent operates properly, then when the contract expires and the other party renews the lease, he can also take the opportunity to increase the price, anyway, he only makes money and does not lose.

Therefore, the life of the British landlords in this period was very prosperous, and the family did not have to work, as long as they found a suitable agent every few years to subcontract the property, and the rest of the time was to drink tea, hunt, participate in various banquets, and enjoy the life of an upper class.

And the big man in black's idea is this agent, but he will not pay a high rent like ordinary agents, and it is estimated that it will be a symbolic pound or two pounds to Tang Ning at that time, but Tang Ning doesn't care about this, because at that time, who will live and who will die is not certain......

A month later, the man in black said to Tang Ning, "How is it? Mr. Linde, are you ready? ”

Tang Ning tidied up his clothes a little nervously, and said in a trembling voice: "Accurate, ready!" ”

The knife-wielding man said with some displeasure: "Boy, you give me some courage, for you, we have already killed two people, if you dare to ruin our business, I will send you to see Douglas and his daughter-in-law!" ”

"Brother Terry, don't worry, in fact, I, I hope this matter can succeed more than you, after all, as long as I succeed, I can become a noble lord!" Tang Ning hurriedly promised.

The black-clothed man soothed: "It's good that you can think like this, in fact, you don't have to be nervous, we dare to guarantee that you look exactly like that dead ghost Linde, as for the voice, you said that you have a cold recently, and others can't find fault with it, and there are only two little girls left in his family now, can't you deal with it?" When you get used to this status, let's go to London and find Gardiner to go through the inheritance procedures, and that's where you will be tested! ”

The man in black said that Gardiner is Tony Linde's uncle and the lawyer entrusted by the Douglas family, and the inheritance and land sublease must be handled by his hands, otherwise there is no need for the two men in black to go around in such a big circle to find Downing to pretend to be Linde, and they will be over with a knife and coercion Douglas.

And the two little girls he mentioned are Douglas's two daughters, speaking of which the fate of these two girls is very miserable, not only their parents are gone at once, but they will soon face the tragic end of being swept away, yes, including Douglas's house must be inherited by Linde, after all, the house is also located on the land.

While Downing is nervous about his debut, Douglas's two daughters, Elizabeth and Maria, who he is about to face, are worried about Downing's imminent arrival.

I saw the eldest daughter Elizabeth say to her sister with a sad face: "Maria, tell me what we should do, the letter says that Cousin Downing is coming today"

Mary replied a little confused, "Sister, why are you so worried? Didn't the letter say that Cousin Downing heard that his father had passed away, so he wanted to come over to comfort the two of us? ”

"You idiot, do you think Cousin Tangning's purpose is so simple, he is here to rob our property, as long as he comes, we will immediately have nothing or even be swept out of the house and live on the streets." Elizabeth said angrily.

"Huh? Why? This house belongs to ours, why did he want to kick us out? Maria asked, surprised.

After Elizabeth explained the inheritance system to Mary, Mary broke down and exclaimed, "Oh my God, sister, you mean that we will only have to live on six hundred pounds of savings in the future, what can we do with this?" Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "Hey, sister, how do I feel that our current situation is the same as the book "Pride and Prejudice". ”

"Hey, it's a pity that we are not as good as Jane, at least she still has five thousand pounds left by her mother, and we only have six hundred pounds." Elizabeth said with a sigh.

"But my Mr. Collins is very kind and generous, and I don't think it will be so excessive to come to Cousin Downing, and sweep us out of the house at once, right?" Maria said hesitantly, but in the end she had no confidence herself.

"Can Cousin Downing's situation be the same as that of Mr. Collins in Lee? When Collins inherited Mr. Bennet's estate, he was already a pastor, with a decent job and a steady income, and he had only recently become a pastor, so he had to maintain an image of kindness, gentleness, and generosity, or his pastor office might not be secured.

And Cousin Tangning is different, he doesn't have any position to drag him down, even if his face and methods are ugly, it doesn't matter, and he is a poor bastard, this is his only chance to get rich, how can you say he will let it go? Elizabeth retorted angrily.
