Chapter 4: Difficult Cases

Chapter 4: Difficult Cases

"Miss, your husband won't get up this morning!"

Qing'er is at the age when a girl's voice is the sharpest and clearest. Tang Ning felt that her shouts could be heard throughout the Zhong Mansion.

Tang Ning actually has a good work and rest habit, but he has just arrived in this world and is not so used to everything. He couldn't sleep until the second half of the night yesterday, and couldn't even open his eyes when he got up in the morning.

After Qing'er shouted at him a few times, he lost all sleep.

He got up quickly, washed up very quickly, and went to meet his nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law with Zhong Yi.

He had met his father-in-law yesterday, but it was the first time he met his mother-in-law. Tang Ning actually felt like a new daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.

The cheap father-in-law has a dignified face, but the mother-in-law is the opposite, giving people a very gentle feeling. After meeting her, Tang Ning knew where Zhong Yi's temperament came from.

As for Zhong Yi, his nominal wife, she was like a pool of clear water, calm and peaceful. She was neither enthusiastic nor too distant to him.

Tang Ning didn't care about it. They were "people from two different worlds" in the true sense. What he was thinking about now was not how to cultivate feelings with her and have a harmonious relationship with her, but how to go back.

He began to read all the books he could see, trying to find a clue.

He moved a large number of books from Zhong Yi's study every day, returned them the next day, and borrowed new ones by the way.

He locked himself in the room, reading all day, and never went out except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

So, in the minds of the servants of the Zhong family, the image of this new son-in-law gradually changed from vague to clear.

This is a real nerd. They have never seen such a "dumb" nerd.

The young lady is so beautiful, and she is also a famous talent in Lingzhou City. How can she not be more interesting than those piles of books?

Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard, looked at the closed door, turned around and asked: "Has he been like this for half a month?"

Zhong Yi nodded and said: "He has finished reading all the books in my study."

Tang Yaoyao scratched his hair, suddenly looked at Zhong Yi, and lowered his voice: "It should be difficult for a nerd like this to pass the exam. Among the talented people you know, there is no such person..."

"Yes, it must be." Without waiting for Zhong Yi to answer, Tang Yaoyao comforted herself.

Generally speaking, this kind of nerd who only knows how to study hard will not have a good future, and it is not considered that she has delayed him------comforting herself in this way, she felt better.

Qing'er looked inside the room and said with admiration: "Not really, the son-in-law must have studied so hard in the past. If he hadn't lost his memory, he might have won the top prize in the future..."

Tang Yaoyao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt as if he had been shot in the chest.

So, she might have delayed a future top prize?

She rubbed her brows and asked, "What else is strange about him these days?"

Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "My uncle sometimes laughs for no apparent reason, sometimes looks sad, and often talks to himself. Oh, he goes out every day and chats with a group of beggars..."

Tang Yaoyao's face turned pale. It was not only that she had caused him to have amnesia, but he was also insane...

Inside the room, Tang Ning stood up and sighed deeply.

What sins did he commit in his previous life that God would play such a big joke on him.

He just slept on the bus and came here inexplicably. He thought that when he woke up one morning, he would go back inexplicably.

Facts proved that he thought too much.

In half a month, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was almost exhausted.

He was not a person who gave up easily, but facing such a mysterious and strange thing as time travel, he still couldn't avoid despair and powerlessness.

Since he was here, he would make the best of it. Maybe there would be some solutions in the future. For now, he could only choose to live well.

But the problem came again.

He didn't know how to take the imperial examination. He didn't have the capital to do business. Thinking carefully, he didn't seem to have one or two skills that he could show off. After walking out of the gate of Zhong Mansion, it was a problem what to eat for the next meal. It seemed that he could only live a life of idleness here and barely maintain his life...

As for the memories of his previous life in his mind, except for turning out a few movies he had seen in his spare time to kill time, it seemed that there was no use.

He pushed the door and walked out. It was still some time before lunch. He left Zhong Mansion and walked around the street. It took him half an hour before he returned to Zhong Mansion.

Every day, he would go to the alley where he woke up that day, not to find information about his identity, but to find the little beggar.

If it weren't for the little beggar, the handful of water, and the bun stuffed with cabbage, he would have traveled through time for the second time.

However, he had never seen him again since that day.

He asked the beggar in that alley and learned that he didn't come here every day. Lingzhou is very big, and the territorial consciousness among beggars is very serious, but not every beggar has his own territory. Beggars without territory will walk around in Lingzhou. That day was also the first time they saw the little beggar.

Tang Ning sighed. Although he only gave him a handful of water and a bun, it was a life-saving grace to him...

Qing'er walked out of the room and shouted: "Uncle, it's time to eat!"

The girl's crisp and beautiful voice, Tang Ning was a little allergic, and he would get goose bumps when he heard it.

Zhong's son-in-law is a nerd, and he can't get hard in the morning------Whenever he thinks of the way the servants in Zhong's house look at him, Tang Ning wants to press Qing'er on the bed and spank her until her butt is swollen.

Although he and Zhong Yi are nominally married, it is only in name only. Tang Ning has his own small courtyard, and Zhong Yi also has his own room. The two have always slept in separate rooms------This further confirms the second guess.

Tang Ning knows very well that he is just a shield. The two have not held a wedding, but there is a marriage certificate. His father-in-law is the county magistrate. It only takes two sentences to get him an identity certificate in Tang Ning's name and then go to the government office to register for marriage.

He has nothing to complain about this. They just get what they need. The Zhong family needs his son-in-law to shut up the governor. He has just come to this world and needs some time to adapt. If it weren't for this cheap father-in-law to help him get some things including identity certificates, he would not be able to survive for three days.

It can be seen from Zhong Yi that the Zhong family has a good upbringing. When eating, they usually don't talk while eating or sleeping. Tang Ning eats silently. When Zhong Yi finishes eating, he leaves with her and then goes back to their own rooms...

During the meal today, the father-in-law seemed a little absent-minded. He stopped his chopsticks several times when they were about to reach his mouth, and didn't notice that the food on the chopsticks fell off.

The woman opposite him couldn't help it and looked at him and asked, "Master, is Governor Dong making things difficult for you again?"

Zhong Mingli didn't admit or deny it, and said, "There is a case that is more difficult these two days. If it is not handled well, I am afraid that Governor Dong will take the opportunity to make trouble again..."

As if he thought of something, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "The clerk in the yamen is sick and can't come to court tomorrow. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come and record a case for him."

Half a month after arriving at the Zhong Mansion, Tang Ning was captured for the first time.

A clerk in the yamen was sick, and what Tang Ning had to do was to temporarily take his place when the court was held tomorrow.

After dinner, Zhong Yi brought some files over and placed them on the table in his room, saying softly, "These are some previous case files. Take a look first and copy them tomorrow."

Tang Ning flipped through a file and found that what he had to do was not a technical job. It was just to record some key testimonies and case progress. As long as he could write, there would be no big problem.

Fortunately, although he did not inherit the memory of this body, he seemed to be born with the ability to read and write. He could only attribute it to some kind of muscle memory of this body.

After putting down the file, Zhong Yi did not leave. After thinking for a moment, she looked at him again and said, "Thank you."

Tang Ning turned her head and looked at her, "Huh?"

"If it weren't for you, I would have to marry the son of Governor Dong." Zhong Yi looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "I'm sorry that you got hurt like this. When you recover your memory, if you want to leave, I will ask Dad to let you go."

She left the room after she finished speaking. Tang Ning walked over and closed the door with a smile on her face.

This Miss Zhong is not bad...

...

Yong'an County Government.

Bang!

Zhong County Magistrate slammed the gavel and shouted, "Open the court!"

"Powerful... Powerful..."

The yamen runners on both sides held water and fire sticks and knocked on the ground quickly and rhythmically. A sense of urgency immediately rose above the lobby.

County Magistrate Zhong spoke again: "Bring the prisoner!"

Tang Ning sat in an inconspicuous corner on the left side of the county hall. He thought that what was played in the TV series was actually true. He never thought that one day, he would sit in the court of ancient trials in such a capacity.

The prisoner was brought up soon. Tang Ning's task was to record the trial process. Logically, he should not be distracted.

But he was not in a hurry. Although God did not give him a heaven-defying system or golden finger, he was really not stingy to not give him any skills.

The changes that happened to him were not just to find a few movies he had seen from his memory to relieve boredom when he was bored. As long as he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he could remember it firmly in his mind.

This is not just a photographic memory, this is a human camera.

Absolute Dolby surround, high-definition and uncensored.

In the corner of the court, Tang Ning was thinking about other things. On the main seat in the middle, Zhong Mingli looked dignified. Looking at the kneeling figure below, he asked in a deep voice: "Prisoner Xu Jie, do you know your crime!"
