Chapter 1366 Disappointed Han Yu

"Fifty taels...fifty taels...whether the governor succeeds or not, he will reward fifty taels of silver..."

The rough voices of the yamen runners of the governor's office spread throughout the street.

To be fair, fifty taels of silver have been considered a lot in this era. A well-off family spends no more than ten taels of silver a year, which shows how valuable fifty taels are.

However, after hearing the yamen runners' words, no one of the people was moved, and they were as if they hadn't heard it.

"Governor Han is worthy of being a famous master. As soon as he takes office, he will wipe out the crocodile that has been raging for many years." Only the young man's face showed joy in the wine shop where Chen Hao was.

"What do you know? Every trusted governor in Chaozhou has tried to beat the crocodile. This is just a show!" An old man in the restaurant shook his head to the young man.

The owner of the restaurant also said: "Cheer, you are a foreigner and don't know what happened in Chaozhou. Every governor here has done this when he first took office."

"Ah..." The young man was speechless. He thought the people were saved. It turned out that it was just a regular activity of the trusted governors of Chaozhou!

"Little brother, sit down first, let's eat and chat." The middle-aged man surnamed Li, who had just talked with the young man, invited the young man.

The young man did not refuse, and said, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect!"

After he sat down, he said to the owner of the restaurant: "Boss, I'm adding a few dishes and a pot of wine to settle the account of this elder brother in my account."

"Okay, you guys." The owner of the diner nodded quickly.

"Little brother, this is impossible..." The middle-aged man surnamed Li and the brother Zhang hurriedly ruthless.

The young man said, "Don't be polite, brothers, you must be together, meeting is fate. It is the right thing for me to invite my two brothers to drink. Could it be that my two brothers dislike me?"

"How dare you?" The two waved their hands quickly.

The young man smiled and said, "Since I don't dislike me, I'll just drink and eat."

"Since that's the case, I'll have a hard time with my younger brother." The middle-aged man surnamed Li and the brother Zhang expressed their opinions respectively.

The young man smiled and said, "My younger brother's surname is Zhao and his name is Shouyi. How dare you ask the two brothers for their surnames?"

The middle-aged man surnamed Li said, "My brother is not given the noble surname Li, and his name is Wenshan."

The brother Zhang said, "Brother Yu's surname is Zhang, and his name is Jifan."

Zhao Shouyi nodded and said, "It turned out to be Brother Li and Brother Zhang. The old man just said that what Governor Han did was to make a show?"

Li Wenshan nodded and said, "It is indeed a show, because all the Chaozhou governors have done this, but no one responded. Every time, it was just a loud and small rain."

Zhao Shouyi said: "Oh, if it is really a show, it will probably be difficult for the crocodile in this evil stream to be removed forever. I wonder how many people will be slaughtered by crocodiles in the future!"

"Oh!" Li Wenshan and Fang Jifan both sighed after hearing Zhao Shouyi's words!

"You three are all worried about the country and the people. But you are doing a show. You have to go and see it before you can understand. If you don't even look at it, you will easily make your own judgment. This is too unfair to the new governor." At this time, Chen Hao turned his body and said to the three of them.

Chen Hao heard the conversation between the three of them clearly. He felt that these three people were pretty good and could barely get into their subordinates. Although Zhang Jifan and Li Wenshan were a little older, Chen Hao thought that he did not require age!

"What is this young man?" The three of them saw that Chen Hao was of great temperament and unlike ordinary people, they had very polite expressions.

Chen Hao smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to care who I am, you only know that it's enough for me to be a person who wants to remove crocodiles."

"Young Master wants to remove the crocodile?" Zhang Jifan, Li Wenshan and Zhao Shouyi were shocked. It was the first time they had lived in half their lives that they wanted to remove the crocodile.

Others who were eating in the restaurant were also slightly stunned and a little disbelief.

Although there were governors and some "heroes" in the past who said they wanted to remove crocodiles, they were just a little bit of wind and rain, and no one wanted to take action.

But Chen Hao seemed to take action.

As for how they judged whether Chen Hao was boasting or sincere, they judged it with care. After Chen Hao said the first sentence, a feeling arose in their hearts, and they felt that this person was very honest and would never let it go without reason.

This is of course Chen Hao’s heart-wrenching influence!

Chen Hao nodded and said, "No, I will go to the governor's mansion in three days."

"Young Master can tell that in all dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, there were emperors who sent large troops to kill crocodiles, but none of them succeeded. This shows how powerful crocodiles are. If you really want to eliminate crocodiles, you should be careful." Li Wenshan said.

Chen Hao took out a silver from his arms and placed it on the table, then stood up and said, "It's okay, I'm not taking it seriously yet."

After saying that, Chen Hao walked out of the restaurant. When he reached the door of the restaurant, he turned around and said to Li Wenshan and the other two: "In three days, I will go to the governor's mansion. If you have the courage to go there, sometimes some things can not be judged arbitrarily. If you want to know whether Han Yu really wants to eliminate crocodiles, you can go and see them with your own eyes."

After leaving this sentence, Chen Hao walked out of the diner.

As for why Chen Hao chose to go to the governor's mansion three days later, of course, it was to go when Han Yu was most powerless. If he went there now, it would be too unidentified!

"We..." Li Wenshan, Zhang Jifan, and Zhao Shouyi stared at each other, not knowing how to make a decision!

As for the other guests, they didn’t have any special feelings. Their only feeling was that Chen Hao was very brave. He might really have a heart to get rid of the crocodile!

...

The fourth day, noon!

Chaozhou Governor Han Yu stood outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion with a pale face!

At this time, except for Han Yu and the few guards around him, there was no one there, and there was no one watching the fun!

"Oh, there is no real hero in this huge Chaozhou Prefecture!" Looking at the empty square outside the governor's mansion, Han Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Today is the fourth day since he issued the recruitment order, but it is useless at all. Even though he had increased the silver reward to 100 taels yesterday, no one responded.

"Sir, it's no wonder that the people are the main reason why crocodiles have been jeopardizing Chaozhou for a long time, and the people are in panic. It would be nice if they don't hide from crocodiles. How dare they follow the crocodiles to destroy crocodiles!" said the captain of the guard beside Han Yu.

Han Yu nodded and said, "You are right. The crocodile scared the people, but the more this happens, the more I will get rid of the crocodile that harms Chaozhou and give the people of Chaozhou a peace."

"Sir, wise!" the guards said in unison.

Han Yu smiled and said, "This is not a wise official, this is what a parent official should do!"

As he said that, he looked at the guards, with a hint of relief on his face. He said, "Although there were no response from the people this time, I have you guys around me. With you here, I will definitely kill crocodiles with your help. Let's go to Evil River today, kill crocodiles, and return to the people of Chaozhou..."

"Sir, the villain may not be able to help you!" Before Han Yu finished speaking, the captain of the guard said first: "Sir, the villain's wife is going to have a baby, and the villain has to take leave for three days..."

"The villain's father fell seriously ill yesterday, and the villain has to go and serve..."

"The villain's sister is getting married today..."

"Sir, my mother is going to have a baby today..."

Han Yu: “…”

At this moment, Han Yu felt cold. Others’ wife gave birth to children and her sister got married. The key is the last one. This guy’s mother is in her seventies this year. She wants to have a baby?
