Unlike Jiang Yi's current cheerful mood, Old Master Tan's mood was much worse.
He had originally wanted to look for Happy, but he did not expect that he would not be able to find him. Instead, he had gotten himself into trouble.?
When he returned to the inn, he realized that Zhang Dadan did not come to pick him up. He walked home on his own.
"Could it be that Little Zhang discovered it?" Master Tan was suspicious.
However, he quickly overthrew this conclusion. Based on his understanding of Zhang Dadan, if he knew that he had slept with his wife, he would have come over and punched him. How could he let him off so easily?
Therefore, Old Master Tan felt that Zhang Dadan must have forgotten to pick him up because he was quarreling with his wife.
He picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"This Private Advisor Liu is still not back yet. It would take him such a long time to go to Eagle Beak Mountain!”
Master Tan was a little angry. Private Advisor Liu was not by his side now, and there was no one to help him deal with the illegal work. He originally wanted Private Advisor Liu to help him get rid of Zhang Dadan.
With a stomach full of anger, Old Master Tan went to rest. The series of events that had happened today made him feel very tired and his body felt empty.
Just as Master Tan was about to fall asleep, Advisor Liu was locked up in the prison of the Security Corps.
The next morning, Master Tan got up early and set off for the township office. Today was the big day he was elected as the mayor, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy and felt that something bad would happen.
When he arrived at the main hall of the township office, Master Tan realized that he was the last one to arrive. The others had been waiting for him for a long time.
Looking at Old Master Tan who had just arrived, Jiang Yi said,"Why is Scholar Tan so late? Did you do a lot of physical work yesterday?”
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, Old Master Tan didn't respond. He only took a few glances before sitting down in his seat.
When I saw that Jiang Yi was still around, I knew that Advisor Liu's matter had been messed up. Jiang Yi wasn't eliminated, and even Advisor Liu himself might have died in Jiang Yi's hands.
Right now, Jiang Yi had people and guns. He didn't dare to offend him and only wanted to rely on the system of Chongwen Town that had been in operation for hundreds of years to contend with him.
After all, in Old Master Tan's opinion, no matter how rich the Jiang family was, they couldn't afford to support so many people's armed forces. When the time came, wouldn't all the squires in Chongwen Town have to fork out the money together? When he became the mayor, he would unite with the squires in the town and directly snatch the control of the team. He would let Jiang Yi have a taste of what it felt like to be someone else's benefactor.
Thinking of this, Old Master Tan's lips curled into a smile, and even the uneasiness in his heart lessened a little.
Seeing that everyone was here, the old Bai didn't waste any time and shouted,""Since everyone is here, let's start the election! Please write down the names of the candidates you like on a piece of paper and put them in the box beside me.”
After a while, the squires put their tickets away.
Old Master Bai began to count the votes.
Since there were only 16 votes, the results came out very quickly.
Old Master Tan had ten votes, Jiang Yi had four votes, and there were two more who abstained.
Jiang Yi was not surprised by the result. It was just that he did not expect that he actually had four votes. He originally thought that there were only one or two votes for him.
"Looks like there are still people who are afraid of my martial arts.”Jiang Yi thought to himself.
Hearing the results of the voting, Master Tan was finally relieved. A few squires also came over to congratulate Master Tan.
"Congratulations, Master Tan, you've been elected mayor!”
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Old Master Tan dealt with the crowd while walking unhurriedly to Jiang Yi's side.
"Little Yi, I told you that you wouldn't be able to grasp the position of mayor.”
Old Master Tan looked at Jiang Yi with a smug look, wanting to see Jiang Yi's expression.
But he was disappointed. Jiang Yi's face did not have any disappointment. Instead, there was a thought-provoking smile.
"Is that so?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of soldiers rushed into the hall under the lead of Lyu Yang. Some soldiers even set up machine guns in the courtyard.
"Jiang Yi, what do you mean by this!”Old Master Tan pointed at Jiang Yi's nose and asked.
Although he did not know Lyu Yang, he was not stupid. He did not think that it was a coincidence that Lyu Yang could rush in after Jiang Yi said a word. These soldiers were definitely from the security regiment.
"It's nothing. I just don't want the mayor of Chongwen Town to be a immoral beast who has an affair with a married woman!”Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly.
"Jiang Yi, who are you calling a beast!"
Old Master Tan felt a little guilty, and the bad feeling in his heart deepened.
"Whether it's you or me, it's up to everyone to decide. Bring the victim, that woman, and the witness here.”Jiang Yi instructed Lyu Yang.
When Old Master Tan heard this, he could not help but be shocked. The person who came in immediately after almost made him faint.
Zhang Dadan brought two soldiers with him and pressed two people in. They were Hong Xing, who had an affair with him, and Advisor Liu, who had been missing for a while.
Old Master Tan quickly said," Old Master Jiang, let's talk things out. State your conditions. We'll agree to anything. Don't make a big deal out of it."”
Jiang Yi looked at Old Master Tan and ignored him. Instead, he said to Old Master Bai,""Old Master, they are the evidence I used to accuse Scholar Tan of being a beast.”
"How dare you. Tell me about your matter. Old Master Bai, the other squires, and I will help you!”
Jiang Yi said to Zhang Dadan.
Closely after that, Zhang Dadan told the others about his affair, followed by Private Advisor Liu, which served as a witness for Zhang Dadan. Only Hongxing didn't want to say anything. However, it was useless. Zhang Dadan didn't care about his face and Private Advisor Liu, Master Tan's trusted aide, acted as the witness. Therefore, the affair between Master Tan and a married woman could be confirmed.
After listening to Zhang Dadan and Advisor Liu's words, Elder Bai looked troubled. He didn't expect Tan Fa to do such a thing behind his back. However, he had just been elected as the mayor, so it was not easy to deal with him. If he said it himself, it would indirectly mean that he didn't know how to judge people, so he decided to kick the ball.
"Jiang Yi, why don't you tell me what you think?”
When Jiang Yi heard this, he cleared his throat.
"In the past, this was like going through a public trial and then directly soaking the pig cage. But now, after all, it's the Republic of China. This kind of bad custom can't exist anymore, so I think it's better to go through a public trial first and let everyone judge.”
"As long as we go through a public trial, no matter what the outcome is, I believe that everyone will be convinced!”
"Right? How dare you."
Zhang Dadan nodded. Jiang Yi had said that he would definitely give him a satisfactory answer today.
Seeing Zhang Dadan nod, Jiang Yi continued,"Since it's a public trial, it has to be fair. It can't just be the squires. There has to be some fresh blood.”
At this point, Jiang Yi ordered Lyu Yang,""Third Battalion Commander, go find Uncle Tian and ask him to invite all the respected seniors in the town.”
Hearing this, Old Master Tan directly fainted. Jiang Yi wanted his life.
It turned out that he might still be able to survive after paying a huge price against the squire, but with a group of respected seniors, he was in great danger.
What kind of people were the respected seniors? Weren't they just a group of old men and women? These people who had lived in the Qing Dynasty for half their lives, didn't these people just follow the convention and give themselves a bath?
After listening to Jiang Yi's opinion, the various squires exchanged their opinions and expressed their agreement.
They could tell that Jiang Yi was determined to take Old Master Tan's life this time. Since there was a high probability that Old Master Tan could not turn things around completely, then they did not mind hitting him while he was down.
Old Master Tan had a thousand acres of fertile farmland and many shops. They had been coveting them for a long time.
As for who would be the mayor, they didn't care.
