Chapter 1237 The Mayor of the Money Bag
Just as Bud and others returned to the house to rest, on the other side, tax officer Alfred had already changed into dry clothes and came to the mayor's room.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the sun set, Changhu Town had already lit the lighting torches, but the mayor's money bag was still lying on the bed, looking half asleep.
No one knows what his real name is, because he never allows others to call him his real name directly, only let someone call him the mayor.
Back then, when he was electing the mayor of the new town, he promised to give him a wallet to every resident who voted for him, so everyone called him wallet mayor of the wallet.
The mayor is a typical businessman who works profitably and never talks about integrity. He works hard to do whatever is beneficial to him, regardless of whether he will lose the interests of others. However, if it is not beneficial to him, even if it can improve the happiness of the residents of Changhu Town, he will not do it.
In his opinion, these proofs are chickens that can lay eggs. There is no need to give them too good food, because even if they eat delicacies, the chicken will not lay a few more eggs, and even if they eat braised vegetables, they will continue to lay eggs.
He was elected as mayor by deception because the residents were too kind and too easily trusted their promises.
After he became the mayor of the town, he used his power to eliminate dissidents and killed all those who might threaten him, as well as those who had a little reputation among the people, with despicable and dirty means.
Some people are even stigmatized.
In this way, the mayor of Qiandiaozi completely controlled the entire Changhu Town.
He made almost no contribution to the development of Changhu Town, nor did he seek any welfare for the residents. The residents became poorer, while he and his confidants became richer.
Gradually, the people began to be dissatisfied and asked him to fulfill his original promise.
His original promise was to give each resident a wallet. When the people began to be dissatisfied, he really sent each purse a wallet.
The people suddenly felt that they had blamed the mayor for wrongly, but when they opened the heavy wallet, there were only some pebbles in the wallet.
The angry people gathered in front of the mayor's luxurious house and asked for an explanation, but the mayor made a sensation that he promised to give the money, but he did not say that the money must be filled with the bag. It was a waste of filling the pebbles, and the people should not be greedy.
At this time, the people realized that they had been deceived, but the mayor was chosen by them, so they could only suffer the consequences.
In the end, this matter was left unresolved, but the people could not forget the mayor's deception to them. So, from then on, no one called the mayor's real name again, all of which were called by the previous words.
Of course, his tycoons, such as tax officer Alfred, dare not call him that, but should still call him respectfully the mayor.
"What's the matter?" Mayor Qiandiaozi was very dissatisfied with Alfred's visit.
If possible, he would have been in bed all day, and now that Alfred has arrived, he has to get up and put on his clothes, rinse his mouth, eat something, and hear what happened.
Alfred was naturally familiar with the series of procedures of the mayor of Qiandiaozi, so when the mayor of Qiandiaozi opened his eyes and asked questions, he hurriedly bowed and walked to the bed, reached out to help the mayor of Qiandiaozi's fat body up.
"Wine!" Mayor Qiandiaozi said in a deep voice.
Alfred quickly brought a glass of moonlight wine to Mayor Money Bagzi.
Mayor Qiandiaozi took it, took a sip, then rinsed it in his mouth, and then spit it into the spittoon beside the bed.
Alfred quickly handed over another towel.
Mayor Qiandiaozi wiped his mouth and said drunkenly: "Alfred, don't you think this place is annoying?"
Alfred's eyes rolled and he quickly figured out the mayor's thoughts.
Before Alfred could answer, the mayor of Money Bagzi said coldly: "It is wet and dark, and the smell of fishy fish everywhere. Looking at it, it is full of moldy wood and the townsmen who are worn in tatters... Alfred, don't you think it's annoying here?"
Alfred immediately understood the meaning of the mayor of Money Bagzi, and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's really annoying here!"
The mayor of Qiandiaozi sighed: "Sometimes, I really want to leave here. But as the mayor, I have a heavy responsibility and I cannot leave."
The muscles on Alfred's face jumped slightly and said respectfully: "Yes, mayor, your responsibility is very heavy! If you leave, Changhu Town will be over! Changhu Town will fall into the hands of civilians in tattered clothes! What do they know? The most prestigious of them is Bud, and Bud is just a boatman! If you leave, those stupid civilians will definitely choose Bud as the new mayor of Changhu Town!"
The mayor of Qiandiaozi frowned, "Is that right? But I heard that Bad's ancestors were hereditary lords of this territory, but because they made a fatal mistake, they lost their hereditary power, and for generations to come, they could not become the masters of Changhu Town... So Bad could not become the mayor."
Alfred hurriedly said, "Master, one time and another! If all the civilians recommend him to be the new mayor, do you think Bud will refuse? Who would refuse power?"
"Hiss!" Mayor Qiandiaozi took a breath, "You are right, Alfred, you are really worthy of being my good helper for so many years. You reminded you too well! No one will refuse power, especially after you taste the taste of power, then someone will want to lose it!"
Mayor Qiandiaozi's eyes passed through the window and looked at the swaying lights outside.
"So...the people now trust and worship Bard?"
"Yes, Lord Mayor!" Alfred lowered his voice and said, "The residents admire him very much. Do you know that this afternoon, he entered Changhu Town with a boat of fish and five unidentified human mercenaries! This is exactly what I want to report to you!"
The mayor of Qiandiaozi frowned, "Wait, a boat of fish? 5 human mercenaries? Are the fish taxed? Are the mercenaries of those five people arrested? Didn't I say that no stranger can enter Changhu Town!"
Alfred hurriedly said, "Master, Town, this is the problem! Among the five human mercenaries, one of them is very powerful. He is also holding the pass token of the wood elf king Thrandir! I dare not refuse to let it go!"
"King Thrandir's pass token?" Mayor Qiandaizi rubbed his temples, "This is really hard to deal with."
