The next day, the people in the town witnessed with their own eyes the beheading of County Magistrate Shi and four other men, and they finally felt relieved.
The families of Mayor Wang and County Magistrate Shi are temporarily imprisoned in the prison, and they will be exiled after the new county magistrate takes office.
Some of those families who colluded with the Wang family were exiled or sentenced, while others had their property confiscated and were driven out of the town.
As for the remaining thugs, those who had killed people were beheaded, and those who had not killed people were thrown into jail.
After dealing with all the guilty people, Jiang Yueyang clearly warned the people in the town not to seek revenge, otherwise they would violate the law and she would still enforce the law impartially.
Those who originally wanted to vent their anger secretly gave up the idea because they had all witnessed Jiang Yueyang's thundering methods.
She really does what she says!
Without Mayor Wang, the quaint town suddenly became filled with more laughter and joy, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Jiang Yueyang returned the shops and fields seized by Mayor Wang to their original owners, and distributed the confiscated money to the people in the town.
The people in the town were very grateful to her and sent many fruits and vegetables to Yuelai Inn every day.
She couldn't refuse, so she accepted them all.
Three days later, Jiang Yueyang gathered the people in the town and prepared to announce the new mayor.
Ever since she said she wanted to choose a new mayor for them, people in the town came to her to recommend candidates.
There were three people they recommended, namely the great philanthropist Mr. Bai, Master Chen from the academy, and Master Zhao from the blacksmith shop.
Among them, Mr. Bai is the most popular, followed by Master Chen from the academy, and Master Zhao ranks last.
Jiang Yueyang met with the three people separately and fully understood their personalities from the system.
She has also decided on the candidate for mayor.
As people arrived one after another, someone couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how do we choose the new mayor? Do we vote together?"
When the old mayor was still alive, whenever there was an important decision to be made, he would let everyone vote.
Each household has one vote, and the minority shall obey the majority.
Jiang Yueyang glanced at the man who was asking the question, and seeing that most people had arrived, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "The new mayor will be appointed by me, without voting."
When everyone heard this, they all looked a little surprised, obviously not expecting this to happen.
"Excuse me, Princess, who is our new mayor?"
Jiang Yueyang's eyes swept across the faces of Mr. Bai and the other two. "I have met the people you recommended and I know their character. The position of mayor needs someone who is both virtuous and talented and who cares about the people."
"After my consideration..." Her eyes were fixed on the dark-skinned, sturdy middle-aged man in the center of the crowd, "The new mayor is Master Zhao from the blacksmith shop."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.
They thought that the most popular Mr. Bai would be elected, but unexpectedly it was Master Zhao who ranked last.
Jiang Yueyang saw the confusion of the crowd and explained: "Mr. Bai is kind and generous, and Master Chen is full of knowledge, both of them are rare talents.
But to be the head of a town, it is not enough to be kind or knowledgeable, you also have to be brave, resourceful, resolute and resolute!
Mr. Bai is kind, but lacks strategy. Mr. Chen is knowledgeable, but lacks fortitude.
Master Zhao is brave and resourceful, fearless and resolute! When Mayor Wang abducted a woman, he was the one who found a way to rescue her safely. "
The crowd didn't know about this, but they knew what was going on as soon as they heard it.
Mayor Wang once kidnapped a girl on the street and took her home, but the next day the girl disappeared out of thin air.
It turns out that he was rescued by Master Zhao!
Master Zhao was very surprised, because no one knew about this matter except his two sons.
He looked at his two sons beside him in confusion, and both sons shook their heads at him, indicating that they had not told anyone else.
So, how did Her Royal Highness know this?
What Jiang Yueyang didn't say was that although Mr. Bai was kind-hearted, he would choose to sacrifice others in exchange for temporary peace.
Master Chen is too weak to handle such a big responsibility.
Only Master Zhao has both kindness and strategy. He is also upright and resolute, and cares about the masses.
Jiang Yueyang looked at the people who were whispering, and then said loudly: "If you believe me, please believe Master Zhao! He will definitely lead everyone to build a better town, and he will definitely protect everyone!"
As her voice fell, the crowd gradually quieted down.
After a while, someone shouted, "Your Highness, you are a good person. I believe you!"
Following this shout, everyone echoed: "Princess, we believe you!"
Jiang Yueyang smiled with satisfaction, raised her hand and signaled everyone to be quiet first.
After everyone quieted down, she looked at Master Zhao in the crowd and asked with a smile: "Mayor Zhao, don't you want to say a few words to everyone?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Mayor Zhao.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Mayor Zhao was a little nervous. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to the princess and everyone for their trust. I, Zhao, will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Mayor Zhao!"
"Mayor Zhao!"
Jiang Yueyang watched this scene quietly, and only when everyone had cheered enough did he have someone strike the gong.
She said: "Although the mayor this time is appointed by me, in order to avoid monopoly, the mayor position is re-elected every three years.
Who will be the mayor of the town concerns every one of you. I hope that you will all follow your heart when electing a new mayor in three years, and don’t let what happened to Mayor Wang happen again.”
"Yes, we will keep it in mind." Everyone responded in unison.
