December 20, New York City Hall.

The city hall, which was built in 1803, is still the seat of the mayor's office and the city council's conference hall. The new council is under construction. It was originally expected to be put into use ten years later, but the building was too heavy until Not all have been completed in the 21st century.

It must be noted that at this time, New York has only New York County. Others such as Brooklyn County, Queens County, Bronx County, and Staten Island are not yet New York territories, so the size of the New York City Council is not It is not as large as the 21st century. It consists of 40 members. They are elected every four years to supervise the mayor's work and form a mayor-parliament model.

Of course, on the stand of a mighty mayor like Tweed, this "supervision" is just talking. In the previous ten years, few members of Congress pointed at Tweed, in a sense, All lawmakers are vested interests, and as long as no one stands up, they will not break the inherent tradition.

Although there is a tradition, it is no longer what it used to be. Li Mu and Wall Street tycoons have collectively attacked Tweed, and Tweed has been unable to protect himself. At this time, everyone will protect himself and no one wants to be with Tweed. Go to jail.

The parliament hall is a circular parliamentary hall. The speaker has a separate seat. On the side of the parliament hall, there is a speaker seat next to it. Many times, Tweed will accept questions from the parliament and explain his policy agenda. It is regrettable. The thing is, this will never happen again.

Although it is a plenary meeting, the atmosphere in the parliament hall today is obviously not good. Whether it is speaking or voting, the atmosphere is dull. Everyone, including Speaker Anthony Dorn, has a heavy heart. This is definitely not because there is no one. In fact, everyone knows that in a while, there will be full seats there.

Speaker Anthony Dorn and Majority Leader Ford Hirschlett glanced at each other, and they could find helplessness in each other's eyes. Anthony looked at the scheduled agenda, sighed, and proceeded directly to the last item: "Now, we Vote on whether to impeach the mayor, Mr. Tweed-"

Anthony's voice had just fallen, and a voice of opposition suddenly sounded in the corner of the parliament hall: "I oppose. Mr. Tweed has been the mayor for ten years. During Mr. Tweed's administration, the progress of New York is obvious to all and our city has developed tremendously. Our population is growing day by day, our economy is booming, including the salaries of our MPs, and it has been greatly increased compared to ten years ago. We should not forget all this. I know that some people will talk about bad municipal affairs, but let us face it. Let's be realistic, look at the current United States. Which city has no municipal problems? We cannot kill Mr. Tweed's credit because of the chaotic municipal administration. This is unfair and unjust-"

Talking about Ben Marjorie, a strong supporter of Tweed, there are many such people in parliament, precisely because of their existence, the first two votes have not passed.

Ben Marjorie was gushing, and another voice said, "Shut up, your Tweed dog, don't think we don't know your relationship with that corruption offender. How much money did the corruption offender give you? Let you make a fuss here, you must be in fear now, because if the corruption offender stepped down, you would certainly not be better, the court will give you fairness and justice-- "

The last speaker was Peter Allen. The MP has a good relationship with Rockefeller. It was because of Rockefeller ’s support that Peter Allen was able to serve as a member of the parliament. Peter Allen is also a member of the beach club that recently swept Manhattan.

When Peter Allen spoke, Ben Marjorie didn't shut up as usual, and was still talking to himself.

Peter Allen was also rude, vying for a voice with a louder voice.

The result of the two people rushing to talk was that no one could hear what the other was talking about, and their supporters immediately helped. The original quiet hall of the council was noisy like a construction site, and it was unknown who took the notebook in front of him. The other side smashed in, and the sky was filled with notebooks, quill pens, ink, water glasses, and even a chair in the random council hall.

Anthony and Ford did not try to maintain order. They held their chins and watched the chaotic parliament hall without any movement. If there were no accidents, it would take half an hour before the members of the parliament had no energy to vote at that time.

At this moment, the corner door of the parliament hall opened slightly, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came in expressionlessly. This guy was holding a cigarette holder. Although there was no tobacco in his eyes, he could still see his pride and his whole body. Up and down signals are being sent out.

Many people know him, this is Brown Popper, director of the New York Coal Exchange, a standard millionaire, and one of the Wall Street tycoons.

The movement in the conference hall was a little smaller immediately.

Brown Pope did not seem to see the hot scene in the venue. After entering the door, he walked directly to the auditorium and sat down on a chair in the far corner. He started to install tobacco without raising his head.

Soon, someone came in again, this time John Huffman, a Democrat and former governor of New York State-

Next up is Leland Stanford, President of Central Pacific Railroad-

And then railway tycoon Jay Gould--

Then came Cornelius Vanderbilt, the head of the Vanderbilt family, who had not appeared before the public for a long time, and his son William Vanderbilt--

Then came Arthur, JP Morgan, John Rockefeller, New Jersey Senator Frederick Theodore Freelinhesen, Massachusetts Senator Runkel, and never appeared before the public. Rimm--

When everyone was seated, there were only sixty seats in the auditorium, crowded into five members of Congress, nine members of Congress, and more than forty millionaires.

Although these people in the auditorium came in and remained basically quiet, there was no bluffing trickery or meaningful warning eyes, but being watched by such a group of people, all the members of the parliament subconsciously stopped abusing and throwing. They sorted out their clothes and hairstyles, took the initiative to clean up their seats, and then as if nothing had happened, with solemn expressions, as if attending the presidential inauguration ceremony.

When the parliamentary hall returned to quiet, Anthony Dorn renewed his spirit: "Now, we will vote on whether to impeach Mr. Tweed, Mayor-"

Ben Jomari immediately stood up: "I object, Mr. Tweed has been the mayor for ten years, and while Mr. Tweed is in charge-"

"Please keep quiet--" Anthony didn't save his face this time, and directly broke his hand with a gavel. "Ben, we are not discussing whether we should be impeached, but we are determining how many people are in favor of impeachment. So it is not your time to speak, please wait a moment. "

According to the normal agenda, since two votes have been taken, that is to say, the stage of controversy has passed and a vote will be taken immediately.

Anthony doesn't want to make people laugh. With so many big men here, Anthony hopes that the New York Parliament can perform more professionally.

"Mr. Speaker, I think before voting, we should fully listen to the opinions of the citizens and impeach an outstanding mayor. This is not a trivial matter, and we should be more cautious." Ben Qomari was not frightened, Still stick to my opinion.

"Mr. Speaker, I have a signature here with the signatures of 10,000 New Yorkers. According to the relevant laws of the State of New York, when the number of people in favour of impeaching the mayor exceeds 10,000, we must vote on this. It is our responsible attitude towards the people. "Peter Allen stood up, bowed gracefully, and showed evidence calmly, and indeed behaved like a gentleman.

"If such a signature works, then I can take out a hundred copies at any time!" Ben Jomari did not flinch.

"The rule is the rule, Mr. Ben Chomari, since I have 10,000 signatures, then we should perform our duties. It has nothing to do with how many signatures you have. Even if you have a thousand signatures, we have to do it this time. Vote. "Peter Allen insisted, looking at Ben Chomari with pity.

"Enough! According to the Constitution of the State of New York, we are now voting on whether to impeach Mayor Tweed first. Gentlemen, please note that your sacred vote will affect the future of New York City and the entire state of New York, please Be cautious. "Anthony didn't want to delay time and went straight to the topic.

What does Ben Qomari want to say, but seeing that most of the members have come up with a small book dedicated to voting, they have no choice but to accept it.

This year's voting has not yet evolved to the electronic stage. It is still quite primitive and secret balloting. Everyone has a special note for voting. Members can write yes or no on it, and then pass it to the bureau to sing. Decide on the voting result.

Although it is anonymous, do n’t think that others do n’t know their attitude. They are all old political figures. The staff in charge of statistics naturally has a set of ways to determine the tendency of these lawmakers. Thinking, then we must have preparations for accounting after the fall.

Slightly, the staff responsible for statistics began to sing votes, almost from the beginning, the number of votes in favour of impeaching Tweed was far ahead.

"Aye!"

"Aye!"

"Aye!"

"No!"

"Aye!"

——

The vote lasted only about fifteen minutes, with an absolute majority of the votes in favour of Tweed, and thirty-one votes in favour of Tweed.

From this moment, Tweed's identity changed from mayor to suspect.
