The next morning, Chongwen Town, the township office.
Today, the township government office was surprisingly lively. All the squires of the town were gathered together. Today was the day of the election of the mayor of Chongwen Town, but Jiang Yi was the only one missing from this group of squires.
"Master Tan, congratulations, congratulations!”
A squire flattered Master Tan.
"Old Master Li, where did this joy come from?”
Old Master Tan asked despite knowing the answer.
"Isn't that because you're about to be elected mayor?”Another squire answered first.
"Hahahaha, let's talk about it after we get selected!”
Old Master Tan looked smug.
At this moment, Old Master Bai, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the people in the hall and frowned. He did not notice Jiang Yi's figure among these people.
"What is this Little Yi doing? Why hasn't he appeared yet?”Old Master Bai said in his heart.
"Old Master Bai, why hasn't the election started yet? Everyone has been waiting for so long!”
Old Master Tan stood beside the squires and shouted. He couldn't wait for Old Master Bai to announce that he had been elected mayor.
"Yes, yes, Old Master Bai, let's start!”
All the squires urged. In their opinion, it was a done deal. They just had to go through the process. Everyone still had business to do.
Under everyone's urging, the old Bai did not waste any time and directly announced the start of the mayor's election. Although he had received a lot of money from Jiang Yi, he did not promise to go against the town's squires for him.
"Alright then, I announce that the election for the mayor of Chongwen Town will begin now!”
"In order to be fair, I'll ask again. Other than Tan Fa, who else wants to run for the mayor?”
Old Master Bai asked as usual. The squires had already discussed that Master Tan would be elected this year, but they still had to go through the process.
However, what the old man did not expect was that someone actually responded to what he had said as usual.
"I want to participate!"
A figure in a long robe walked into the hall of the township office. It was Jiang Yi, who could not be found in the crowd at first.
In fact, Jiang Yi had already arrived long ago, but he did not rush to the hall immediately. Instead, he went to the household registration room of the township government office and found Master Tan and his own birth characters.
After that, he destroyed his birth characters and handed Master Tan's share to Immortal Qian so that he could immediately start the ritual after receiving his notice.
When the squires heard Jiang Yi's words, they were all stunned. This was the first time they had seen a second candidate in the mayor election.
Seeing Jiang Yi appear, Old Master Bai continued,""Since there is a second candidate, then Tan Fa and Jiang Yi, please share your thoughts. Then, the eighteen squires present will vote to choose who will be the mayor.”
After saying that, the old Bai master heaved a long sigh of relief. He thought that if he agreed to Jiang Yi's participation, he would not have received thousands of dollars from him in vain.
Hearing Old Master Bai's words, the squires all revealed thought-provoking smiles. They also wanted to see what Jiang Yi had to rely on to jump out.
Of course, they would not allow Jiang Yi to be elected. If he succeeded, then a second and third person would jump out very quickly. In the past, everyone had a chance, but it was just a matter of time. But if everyone learned from him, then everyone would fight for it. Wouldn't the chances of many of them being elected as the mayor be greatly reduced?
However, they did not expect the scene in front of them to shock them.
Old Master Tan revealed a smile that he thought was like a spring breeze." Little Yi, I'm much older than you. I'm of the same generation as your father, so I won't be polite and call myself uncle.”
"Uncle, as the mayor, you have to communicate with the county governor and think about the lives of the people in the town. In the middle, you have to actively listen to the opinions of the squires.”
"So?"
Jiang Yi looked at Old Master Tan, wanting to know what exactly he wanted to say.
"So the water of being a mayor is very deep. Uncle is afraid that you won't be able to grasp it. Listen to Uncle's advice.”
Old Master Tan persuaded earnestly.
What the hell was that?
Was this the so-called friendship between Jiang and Tan!
And this sincere tone, what the hell is with that kind of tone!
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but be stunned. After a few seconds, he reacted," Scholar Tan, is this what you wanted to say to me?”
Hearing Jiang Yi's address, a trace of anger flashed in Old Master Tan's eyes. However, he suppressed it very quickly. He knew that now was not the time to flare up.
" Yes, my dear nephew. There are many things to do as the mayor. Your current ability is not enough. You still need to train for a few more years." Master Tan still had a look of concern for Jiang Yi.
"Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly leaned back tactically and laughed heartily towards the sky.
"What are you laughing at?"
Old Master Tan felt a bad premonition from Jiang Yi's laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Haha!"
Jiang Yi coldly laughed and immediately continued.
"If I laugh at you, Scholar Tan would dare to talk big in front of me, a High Scholar!”
"I'm laughing at you. Scholar Tan is in the Republic of China, but he has a braid.”
"I laugh at you. Scholar Tan has lived for 52 years, but you haven't made any achievements. Even the title of scholar was given to you by the examiner!”
Jiang Yi's three sentences finished, directly making Old Master Tan so angry that his voice trembled.
Old Master Tan covered his chest with his hand and pointed at Jiang Yi. He said in a trembling voice,"I, I, I…"
At this moment, Jiang Yi mercilessly added another stab." You're an incompetent person. You're only fit to bark like a dog with a broken spine. You actually dare to run for mayor. I've never seen such a shameless person!”
Hearing this, Old Master Tan finally couldn't take it anymore and fell down with a bang.
"Master Tan, what's wrong?"
The squires at the side saw that something was wrong and immediately surrounded him. Some even ran outside to call for others to come over, wanting to send Master Tan to the clinic first.
The scene was in chaos.
Amidst the chaos, Jiang Yi looked at Old Master Bai, indicating that now that an accident had come, he should hurry up and do things.
Old Master Bai saw Jiang Yi's signal and nodded.
He really did not expect that an accident would really happen, and it was even Jiang Yi who single-handedly orchestrated it. In the past, he did not know that Jiang Yi would actually say this, causing Tan Fa, this thick-skinned person, to faint from anger.
If he didn't listen to him, he would probably end up like Tan Fa.
At the thought of this, Old Master Bai took a deep breath and mustered his strength to shout,""Everyone, quiet down for a moment."
This shout made everyone quiet down.
Looking at everyone's gaze, Old Master Bai said," Something unexpected happened just now. Tan Fa suddenly fell ill and fainted. To ensure the fairness of the election, I'll say something fair. I propose that Tan Fa be sent to the hospital first and then the election be postponed for three days.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. What did he mean by sudden illness? Didn't Old Master Tan make Jiang Yi angry? Wasn't he lying through his teeth? Were you bribed by Jiang Yi?
However, everyone still agreed. After all, Old Master Bai was right. They should send Master Tan to the clinic first. If Master Tan really went, then there would really be no need for an election. The various conditions he had promised before would be invalid.
So the group of people hurriedly called out to the servants who had just come in and asked them to carry Master Tan to the clinic.
The scene was chaotic again.
