Returning to the office of the mayor of Changhu Town, the corpses on the ground had been removed, and the surrounding blood stains had been hastily cleaned up, leaving even more terrifying traces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ling Qi sat in Powers' original position, less like the mayor than the former, and looked at the slightly uneasy townspeople under the seat with his legs crossed and flirtatious.

This time, there were many more people than in ordinary deliberations, and there were nearly 20 people, men, women, old and weak.

These people are basically the representatives of all the survivors in Changhu Town, and there are few omissions.

As he had done since his first seizure of power in the Radiant Plane, the first thing he thought of after cleaning up the diehards was to knock and warn the restless ones.

For usurping the foundation of others, Ling Qi, who is not a master of this way, has no other way for a while.

Of course, in the past, he was completely helpless, but now he is too lazy to think deeply, after all, the strength is different.

For example, he can completely rely on his talent to control people's hearts, but he just has to prevent being seen through by a righteous powerhouse like Gandalf who has not yet become an enemy. After all, that is his biggest capital at present, and the cloak of the benevolent man and the tendency of the camp are much better than the small town of Long Lake!

"Alright, don't be so afraid, I'm not the unreasonable, brutal kind of person. ”

Ling Qi said calmly to the people below, he crossed his legs and rested on the desk that had just been cleaned up, supported the chair legs with his waist strength, and swayed his upper body, and suddenly the whole person became backwards, which made him look even more contemptuous.

The representatives of the residents of Changhu Town did not let their guard down, let alone express even the slightest dissatisfaction, including those who were pulled out of the house by the soldiers, such as a certain merchant shopkeeper, who had been shouting loudly outside.

To say that these people are representatives, in fact, they are middle- and upper-class people who have a little prestige in the local area, or who are a little better off than others. It's not that Changhu Town is classless, everyone is just as poor. It's just that compared to the aristocrats in the outside world, the local upper-class people are not so decent. Class is a thing that exists everywhere, including aristocratic circles and beggars' dens.

Seeing that everyone below did not react for a long time, and all of them trembled in the eyes of the soldiers, Ling Qi suddenly retracted his legs and said with great dissatisfaction:

"What, do you think I'm a hypocrisy? or are you all thinking of me as a man-eating tiger or a devil?"

The movement of the chair legs on the ground had already made the hearts of the cautious people tremble, and his words that were not yin and yang scared the townspeople present out of their bodies.

"Don't dare!

"Your kindness and generosity are known to the world, and your Majesty has delivered us from the clutches of Powers today, and is truly the reincarnated Iluvita, a true man of the way, a model of virtue..."

Ling Qi's dissatisfaction immediately turned the originally silent hall into a vegetable market, but there was no shouting here to sell, all of them were begging for mercy and singing praises!

Ling Qi listened with satisfaction at first, shaking his head as if he was enjoying it very much, which made some of the people below snicker in their hearts, thinking that they had found the preferences of this devil leader, and touted them even harder.

Unexpectedly, I don't know which bastard said the wrong thing, and the devil leader, who was still satisfied, suddenly opened his eyes and elongated his face.

"Oh, say I'm a moral gentleman, and I'm your savior?"

"In other words, you're not afraid of me, are you?"

"Don't you know that reverence is my favorite virtue?"

Ling Qi's loud words made the flattering smiles of everyone below freeze on their faces, and this scene made those miscellaneous soldiers who claimed to be meritorious almost laugh out loud.

Compared with this group of guys who used to be high, these miscellaneous soldiers at least still hold swords in their hands, and it is better to be a sword warrior than to be a revenant under the sword.

Glancing at the townsfolk who had become trembling again, then the miscellaneous soldiers who were secretly happy, and finally the few backbone elites brought from the Land of Honey, as well as his henchman Nitin, Ling Qi had a plan in his heart.

It's a pity that Farion, who is the most capable and capable of fighting and handling affairs, was not present, he was lying in bed at this time recuperating from his injuries, and there were only two doctors who cared for him, and their level was very average, and there was no way to recover him in a short time.

There was originally a doctor in the town, and he was the most skilled, and he was very skilled in dealing with trauma. Among the soldiers who passed by his door, one happened to be the young son of another doctor. The peers are light, and in such a chaotic situation, the results are naturally self-evident.

Seeing that the representative figures in the town were almost beaten, Ling Qi knew that it was time to win people's hearts, otherwise after brewing for a long time, this plate of loose sand would also turn into a blunt knife to cut meat, which was not what he wanted to see.

He clapped his palms abruptly, and just as the frightened townsfolk were looking around, warning whether the smug rebels would hear the news of the sword encounter, there was a creaking sound from the narrow staircase deep in the aisle.

The movement of someone carrying a heavy load was getting closer and closer, and when one of the townspeople, who had the good fortune to be invited here, turned back and saw a whole box of silver coins being carried to the floor of the doorway, and his eyes were almost blinded by the silver sparkle.

"This is..."

A mouthful of heavy boxes fell to the ground, and the clanging sound apparently alarmed more than one person.

Some people began to exclaim, some people looked at the high Ling Qi in disbelief, more and more people turned back because of curiosity, and then there were more puzzles and shocks, as if they knew the devil for the first time!

Ling Qi Shiran left his seat, walked around the long table where the mayor worked, and walked into the crowd, where the people spontaneously made way for a passageway, presumably thinking that some empty-handed man was more terrifying than the well-equipped miscellaneous soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps the disturbance made by the contemptible subordinates before has made everyone have some small misunderstandings about me. ”

Ling Qi smiled, and the guy who was yin and yang before. If he hadn't mastered the art of scheming, he would have been a complete lunatic.

The townsfolk didn't care if the man was a conspirator or a madman, they cared more about their immediate safety.

Ling Qi's transformation made them secretly relieved, and there was no deeper reason.

"Some of you have misunderstood me. Although you have all seen violence and killing before, know that any just cause requires struggle and sacrifice. In order for the majority to live better, the sacrifice of a small number of people is always necessary. ”

Ling Qi opened his arms, as if he was feeling helpless, and it was like embracing the sunshine of hope.

In fact, the gate was closed, and the sky outside was gloomy, like the mood of the townspeople shivering in the corners of other places.

Living in such a world, where is there so much hope!

"You have said before that I am your savior, and I do not deny that, because it is I who have freed you from Bowers' clutches. ”

Ling Qi's words can be described as shameless, who dares to speak out against it.

On the contrary, the way he is now makes those townspeople who are afraid of tigers show a flattering smile again, but this time no one dares to compliment them much.

The tall man strode over to the small pile of boxes, none of which were too big, technically small boxes, but they looked like they were not light, as they were full of silver coins.

Ling Qi stepped on a box with the lid lifted, and the pile of silver coins that were almost overflowing was splashed a little by him. His casual movements even made some people feel distressed, and the things he trampled on were all things they had been chasing all their lives!

"Well, no amount of rhetoric can compare to actual action!"

"These are the people's fat and people's ointments that Bowers has looted in recent years. Now, since I have succeeded me as mayor, I have vowed to lead everyone to a better future. Then these stolen goods, of course, are taken from the people and used by the people!"

Ling Qi's words brought a lot of shock to the townspeople, who would have thought that such a dilapidated town could also scavenge piles of silver coins. The ones on the ground, although they are not as exaggerated as the hills, but roughly estimated, there are at least tens of thousands!

That's tens of thousands of silver coins! Almost an entire town could be hastily renovated!

If this is the case with Powers, what about the other mayors? Is the poverty of Changhu Town also due to these people?

And being able to turn a blind eye to such a huge wealth, compared to it, Ling Qi's image also became tall in an instant!

No amount of mistakes can hide the brilliance of good intentions, and when people have no expectations of certain people, and those people reveal some amazing good qualities like the prodigal son, it is more likely to shock people's hearts and gain recognition than those who have done good deeds for many years.

Even if it is a devil, if it can really bring benefits to everyone and bring a better future, then why not worship it?

As for sacrifice, it's always necessary, isn't it?

Some people find themselves in an instant with a change of mindset and begin to accept an uninvited new mayor, though they don't want to admit that there is greed involved.

"Huh~ What's the matter? don't squeak, don't you want to, or think I'm not right?"

The townsfolk looked longing, but they were overwhelmed for a moment when they thought of Ling Qi's previous changeable face, which immediately caused dissatisfaction on someone's face.

Provoking the emotions of ordinary people is really a very interesting behavior, feeling their ever-changing minds, which is extremely beneficial for Ling Qi to grasp a certain power that he is not yet familiar with, a power beyond the physical realm.

Most of the people were still looking at each other, but a few had already made up their minds, and just when Ling Qi had not changed his mind, a middle-aged man with his unattractive appearance and bright clothes walked out.

"Great~sir, thank you for your generosity, we naturally want these riches. ”

This man first glanced back at everyone, as if asking for everyone's opinions, but in fact, few people looked at him at all, and the gaze that looked at him was more malicious than kind.

But when he said what everyone wanted to say, many people immediately nodded in agreement, but they still didn't dare to make a sound.

At least more than half of the townspeople were observing the change in Ling Qi's complexion at the same time, of course, they couldn't see anything.

didn't get Ling Qi's response, and the person who came out was a little worried in his heart, but his years of experience as an official still made him barely suppress the fear in his heart, and pretended to be calm:

"Besides, my lord is right. Take it from the people, use it for the people. Personally, I think you should appoint a financial officer to deal with this ill-gotten gain. ”

"What to do with them should be discussed and planned again, perhaps to repair the new mansion of the Lord, or to repair the roads in the town. ”

After this man finished speaking, he bowed his head and stood in front of Ling Qi, waiting for the release.

His words were good, whether Ling Qi was just acting or really didn't look down on the money, now there are steps to go down.
