Infinite Movie World

Chapter 1237

Just when Bud and others returned to the house to rest, on the other side, the tax collector Alfred had already changed into dry clothes and came to the mayor's room.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the sun was setting, and the torches for lighting had already been lit in Changhu Town, but the mayor, Qian Baozi, was still lying on the bed, half asleep.

No one knew what his real name was anymore, because he never allowed others to call him by his real name, only let him be called Lord Mayor.

Back then, when the new mayor was elected, he promised to give every resident who voted for him a money bag, so everyone called him the mayor of the money bag.

The mayor of the town is a typical businessman, he does things only for profit, and he never speaks of integrity, but he will do everything that is beneficial to him, regardless of whether it will lose the interests of others, but anything that is not beneficial to him Fortunately, even if it can improve the happiness of the residents of Changhu Town, he will not do it.

In his view, these proofs are some chickens that can lay eggs. There is no need to feed the chickens too well, because even if they eat delicacies from mountains and seas, chickens will not lay a few more eggs, and even if they eat bran-swallowed vegetables, they will still lay eggs. Keep laying eggs.

He had been elected mayor by deceit, because the residents were too kind and too prone to promises.

After he became the mayor of the town, he used his power to eliminate dissidents, and killed those who might threaten him, as well as those who had a slight reputation among the people, with despicable and dirty means.

Some were even stigmatized.

In this way, the mayor of Qiandaizi completely controlled the entire Changhu Town.

He hardly made any contribution to the development of Changhu Town, nor did he seek any benefits for the residents. The residents were getting poorer, while he and his confidantes were getting richer.

Gradually, the people became dissatisfied and asked him to fulfill his original promise.

His promise at the beginning was to give each resident a money bag. When the people became dissatisfied, he actually gave everyone a money bag.

The people suddenly felt that they had wrongly blamed the mayor, but when they opened the heavy money bag, there were only some pebbles in the money bag.

Angry people gathered in front of the mayor's luxurious big house, demanding an explanation, but the mayor plausibly said that what he promised at the beginning was only to give the money bag, and he didn't say that the money bag must be filled with money. It is free, and the people should not be greedy.

It wasn't until this time that the people realized that they had been deceived. However, the mayor was chosen by themselves, so they could only reap the consequences.

This incident ended in this way, but the people couldn't forget the mayor's deception to them. So, from then on, no one called the mayor by his real name, and they all called him by the old words.

Of course, his henchmen, such as the tax collector Alfred, would not dare to call him that, and they should respectfully call him Lord Mayor.

"What's the matter?" The mayor of Qiandaizi was very dissatisfied with Alfred's visit.

If possible, he would like to stay in bed all day, but now that Alfred is here, he has to get up and get dressed, then rinse his mouth, eat something, and listen to what happened matter.

Alfred is naturally familiar with a series of procedures of the mayor of the money bag, so when the mayor of the money bag opened his eyes to ask questions, he hurriedly bowed and walked to the bed, stretched out his hand and wiped the mayor of the money bag. The body helped up.

"Wine!" the mayor of Qiandaizi said in a deep voice.

Alfred quickly brought a glass of moonlight wine to the mayor of the money bag.

The mayor of the money bag took it, took a full sip, then rinsed his mouth, and then spit it into the spittoon beside the bed.

Alfred hurriedly handed over another towel.

The mayor of Qiandaizi wiped his mouth and said drunkenly, "Alfred, don't you think this place is annoying?"

Alfred rolled his eyes, quickly trying to figure out what the mayor Qiandaizi was thinking.

Before Alfred could answer, the mayor of Qiandaizi said coldly: "It's damp and dark here, and there's a fishy smell everywhere. You can see moldy wood and ragged clothes everywhere." The townspeople... Alfred, don't you think this place is annoying?"

Alfred immediately understood the meaning of the mayor of the money bag, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, this place is really annoying!"

The mayor of Qiandaizi sighed: "Sometimes, I really want to leave here, but as the mayor, I have a great responsibility, and I can't leave."

The muscles on Alfred's face twitched slightly, and he said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Mayor, your responsibility is very important! If you leave, Changhu Town will be over! Changhu Town will fall into the In the hands of those 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 elect Bud as the new Mayor of Changhu Town!"

The mayor of Qiandaizi frowned immediately, "Really? But I heard that Bard's ancestors were the hereditary lords of this territory, but because they made a fatal mistake that led to the siege of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, they decided to Lost hereditary power, and the generations to come will not be able to become the master of Changhu Town... Therefore, Bud cannot become the mayor of the town."

Alfred said hastily: "Mayor, it's time and time! If all the civilians elect him as the new mayor, do you think Bard will refuse? Who would refuse power?"

"Hiss!" The mayor of Qiandaizi took a deep breath, "You are right, Alfred, you really deserve to be my good helper for so many years, you are so right in reminding me! No one will refuse power , especially after having tasted the taste of power, then even more people will want to lose it!"

The mayor of Qiandaizi looked through the window and looked at the flickering lights outside.

"So...the people now trust and worship Bud?"

"Yes, Lord Mayor!" Alfred lowered his voice and said, "The residents admire him very much. Did you know that this afternoon, he brought a boat of fish and five unidentified human servants?" Bing, entered Changhu Town! This is exactly what I want to report to you!"

The mayor of Qiandaizi frowned, "Wait, a boat of fish? 5 human mercenaries? Has the fish been taxed? Have the 5 human mercenaries been caught? Didn't I say that no stranger can Enter Changhu Town!"

Alfred quickly said: "Lord mayor! This is the problem! Among the five human mercenaries, one is very powerful, and he still holds the pass token of the wood elf king Thranduil in his hand! I dare not let it go!"

"The pass token of King Thranduil?" The mayor of Qiandaizi rubbed his temples, "This is really difficult."
