Chapter 677 Kill Someone First

Chapter 677 Let’s Kill Someone First

Mr. Hu is a man of integrity, so he did not hide anything from Wang Buqi and spoke directly.

"We've been targeted for a while!"

"Although I don't know who is targeting me, I'm sure they won't let go of such a good opportunity tomorrow!"

"Since you've come to our house, you should take advantage of this opportunity tomorrow to show your abilities!"

"If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. If you get injured or disabled, you will be taken care of by the government. If you are unlucky enough to die, the government will also provide you with pensions and resettlement!"

"Are you willing?"

Wang Buqi didn't hesitate at all and knelt down again with a plop.

"Wang Buqi will only follow the master's arrangement and will never have any second thoughts!"

It was not until this moment that Master Hu finally smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled him up.

"Okay, from this moment on, you belong to the Hu Mansion."

"We don't practice kneeling in our family. It's only natural for a grown man to kneel to the heaven, the earth, and his parents. We are not the emperor, so why are you kneeling here and there?"

"If I ask you to kneel down, it's probably because you've caused trouble and I'm going to punish you. If that happens, you won't be able to kneel down even if you want to!"

"Okay, let's go. I'll tell you about tomorrow's arrangements while we walk!"

In fact, Wang Buqi was still confused until this moment.

His idea of ​​joining the government was, of course, true!
He had thought so a long time ago.

But today his dream suddenly came true, but he felt it was so mysterious.

Why doesn't it feel real at all?

But then I thought again, he was just a servant, why would there be so many rituals?

Thinking of this, something suddenly occurred to him.

"By the way, Master, shall I go to the government office and get the indenture for you later?"

"How about asking Manager Hu to take me there?"

Master Hu glanced at him and said unhappily.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Why would you want a slave status instead of a good identity?"

"Between you and me, we just need to go to the brokerage office and sign a contract."

"The real slaves in our family are the father and son behind us, and there are a few others. The vast majority of the others working in the mansion are from honest families who signed contracts to work here!"

"Don't you know that if your son signs a slavery contract, he won't be able to take the imperial examination or become an official in the future?"

"So, we don't want any slavery or not!"

When Wang Buqi heard this, he was dumbfounded.

He seemed to have vaguely heard of this rule of the Hu Mansion before.

But in his opinion, this is a joke!
If you don't hand over your indenture to the master, how can he treat you as his own family?
But looking at the look on Master Hu's face, and the smiling faces and silent expressions of the father and son Hu Yi beside him, it seems that Master Hu is not lying.

Unfortunately, this matter was indeed of great importance, so Wang Buqi had no choice but to ask.

"Master, I would like to ask, if we don't change our slave status and suppress our indentures, aren't you worried about something going wrong?"

Master Hu turned his head and looked at Wang Buqi, raising his eyebrows.

"Something happened?"

"What could happen?"

"As long as the money is sufficient and there is no harsh treatment, the person will naturally be happy to work for the mansion for a few more years."

"On the other hand, if being harsh to others not only makes people feel uncomfortable, then wouldn't someone still rebel against Tiangang after taking the indenture?"

"Master, I have seen servants betray their masters before!" "So, just sign a contract, that's good!"

Wang Buqi was so stunned by what Master Hu said that he didn't know how to respond.

However, he didn't say anything else.

Because at least from the current perspective, Mr. Hu has said everything that needs to be said.

Once the contract is signed, we become family.

But Wang Buqi understood that although it seemed that Mr. Hu didn't care and was quite magnanimous, what was the reality?

It’s good that the people who signed the contract are our own, but people like Hu Yi and his father are our own family.

It seems that there is only one word difference between "our own people" and "our family", but when it comes to the critical moment, the difference is huge.

But Wang Buqi knew that if he continued to talk about this matter, he would be immature.

Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about how to perform well tomorrow.

That night, Master Hu slept in the east wing of Wang Buqi's house, which was a bit simple but clean.

Then, early in the morning, after hearing the noise outside, Mr. Hu jumped out of bed.

Today, Mr. Hu was not wearing his usual home clothes, but formal tights.

Although the official uniforms and formal dresses in ancient times all had wide sleeves and left and right lapels, in fact, they existed because of practical needs.

Therefore, there are still tight clothes that are convenient for activities.

The cuffs are tight and the clothes are close-fitting, with the main focus on easy movement.

In fact, this outfit was worn by Master Hu when he was practicing martial arts in the mansion.

I bring it with me now just as a side job.

However, after getting up and putting on his clothes, Mr. Hu did not go out immediately.

Instead, he began to carefully check his equipment.

Weapons, tactical vests, bows and arrows, as well as the 'survival kit' that you have to carry with you, and various miscellaneous small things that you prepare yourself.

Master Hu patiently checked it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the room.

Originally, Wang Buqi planned to bring his fourteen-year-old son to the mountain to work as a laborer.

But Wang Buqi was frightened by what Mr. Hu said yesterday.

It's no problem for him to risk his life, but he can't bear to take his own child with him.

Master Hu simply let the boy take his mother and go straight to the Hu Mansion.

It's not for any other reason. Master Hu is worried that the gang of bastards who are eyeing him will take advantage of him and his companions going up the mountain to kidnap Wang Buqi's family. Wouldn't that mean he would have an undercover agent on his side?
This is so fucking disgusting.

Why not just send him back home, since he's our own long-term worker anyway? And everything will be fine.

Wang Buqi naturally nodded hurriedly at the first opportunity, then pulled his son over and gave him detailed instructions, and also called a trustworthy escort from the village.

Seeing that the boy harnessed the donkey cart and took his mother out early in the morning, Master Hu felt relieved and ate his breakfast peacefully.

This last meal before entering the mountains is naturally not the same as the usual breakfast.

Eat more and eat well so that you will have strength later.

Anyway, I have given Wang Buqi money before, so there is no need to worry about bankrupting Wang Buqi's family.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group of four finally walked into the woods, leading five dogs and carrying their equipment on their backs, seemingly at ease.

What others didn't expect was that not long after entering the forest, Master Hu took the initiative to pull Wang Buqi and others to change direction and move quickly to the other side.

Mr. Hu had only one explanation for this.

"Let's go, kill people first!"
