Chapter 649: Du Ye's Finishing Move

The next morning, Wangyou woke up.

He first rolled over on the soft big bed, then looked at the things in the room and blinked.

Hat, wooden sword...

There were all kinds of things, all given to him by his master. He stood up and couldn't help touching these things, touching this and that, and liking them all very much.

Before he met his master, he was a lowly slave, without even a piece of clothing to cover his body. He lived in a dark corner, filthy and numb. If he hadn't always felt that there was something important left unfinished, he would have even thought of dying, so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

After meeting his master, he got new clothes and shoes, and his master also bought him many gifts, which he could never have dreamed of.

He wanted to hold all the gifts in his arms like a miser.

There was a sudden knock on the door: "Wangyou, are you up?"

"Get up." Wangyou said.

"Madam is looking for you, just wash up and go."

Wangyou responded, quickly washed up, and went to his wife's yard.

To him, both his master and his wife are his saviors. His master comes first and his wife comes second. They are both more important than his own life.

When Wangyou entered the yard, he saw his wife standing in the yard.

The lady had a smile on her face, very pretty and gentle. Wangyou glanced at her, then lowered her head and said respectfully, "Madam."

Tang Li looked at the young man in front of him.

This boy was actually about the same age as Ziyi, but much bigger. His facial features hadn't fully developed yet, but they were very three-dimensional, suggesting he had some alien ancestry. He was so young, yet he'd endured so much. Fortunately, he was all better now, and he would only get better.

"You saved Sanbao, thank you." Tangli said.

"Protecting the master is what I should do." Wangyou said shyly.

Tangli smiled and handed something to Wangyou: "This is for you."

Wangyou took it respectfully and found that it was a dagger.

"Look, do you like it?" Tang Li asked.

The lady asked him if he liked it...

Before, when his master said he was not a slave but a human being, he was still a little confused.

During this time, he understood what it felt like to be a human being.

They will ask him if he wants it or not, if he likes it or not, respect his ideas and give him dignity.

He likes the Wu family so much.

Wangyou pulled the knife out of the scabbard a little. The blade was engraved with patterns and was very sharp. It was not an ordinary item. His eyes lit up and he nodded.

"I like it very much."

"Carry it with you for protection." Tang Li said.

Tangli took out another piece of paper and handed it to Wangyou: "This is for you."

Wangyou held the piece of paper. He couldn't read and was a little confused.

"Madam, this is..."

"This is your household registration. With this household registration, you will be free from slavery." Tang Li said.

Wangyou was holding the paper and suddenly froze.

Madam, you actually gave him freedom?!

Wangyou remembered a long time ago, when there was a master who was considered the kindest of all his masters, never beating or scolding them. He had many slaves, and among those who lived with him, there was one who was particularly loyal, eager to do everything, even risking his life for his master.

Later, the man told Wangyou that he did all these in the hope that his master would be moved and give him freedom. However, until he blocked an arrow for his master, the wound became festered, and the master did not even find a doctor to see him. Until his death, he never even saw his master's face.

Before dying, he grasped Wangyou's hand, his eyes filled with sadness: "We are slaves, just like livestock. We still dream of freedom. It's really a dream. Once a slave, always a slave. There is no escape..."

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were many ways for slaves to become free. Actually, it was very simple: the owner just had to go to the household registration office and register the slave.

However, it is also difficult because in the eyes of many people, slaves are not human beings at all, so no matter what the slaves do, the masters think it is natural, and it is even more impossible to register the slaves.

The piece of paper in Wangyou's hand is something that even many slaves could not obtain...

"Thank you, Madam." Wangyou knelt down and kowtowed to Tangli.

The next day, Wangyou took the initiative to find Tangli and handed two pieces of paper to Tangli.

One of them was the household registration given by Tangli, and the second was a contract of sale.

Wangyou sold herself to the Wu family in a contract in which she placed her fingerprints at the end.

Wangyou was a little nervous. He could not read or write, so he asked other servants what the content of the indenture was. He read it to himself and asked someone to write it for him.

He didn't know whether what he wrote was correct.

He also played a little trick, writing clearly that he was selling it to Wei Ning, and he wanted to be his master's bodyguard forever.

"Wangyou, even if you are free, you can still be Sanbao's bodyguard without selling yourself." Tangli said.

Wangyou didn't say anything, but his expression was stubborn and his attitude was resolute.

Tangli considered that with a household registration, Wangyou would no longer be a slave, but a household slave. Household slaves were much better off than slaves; only their masters could dispose of them, and there were laws and regulations governing their masters' actions. Since Wangyou insisted, she would take him in.

If Wangyou wanted to leave, she would return his household registration and indenture contract to him.

"Okay." Tang Li said.

Wangyou smiled happily. When he smiled, his two fangs showed, which made him look childish and cute.

…

Du Ye naturally knew that Sanbao was almost hurt by Lu Xuan.

His eyes turned cold in an instant, and murderous intent burst out in an instant, but his emotions seemed very calm. He was not furious, and did not do anything extreme. Everything was normal as he taught Sanbao and Wangyou martial arts.

On this day, he gave Sanbao and Wangyou a day off and left Wu Mansion.

As long as he deliberately hides his body, ordinary people will not be able to find him at all.

He appeared quietly in a quiet alley and bought something from a vendor.

"The poison of this little thing is not fatal, but it will make people live a life worse than death. It meets your requirements. I have been looking for it for a long time." The vendor said to the unprepossessing man in front of him.

Du Ye deliberately changed his appearance. He acted cautiously, which was his habit as a killer, and he also didn't want to bring trouble to the Wu family.

Du Ye took the box and left.

His figure appeared outside the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

As a former killer, he was best at hiding and waiting. When it was dark and everything was covered by the night, he quietly sneaked into the marquis' mansion.

He found where Lu Xuan lived, quietly landed on the roof, opened the tiles, and looked inside.

Lu Xuan lay on the bed, feeling very weak.

Shortly after he woke up, he was punished by the family law again, with twenty strokes of the cane.

Although he was being kept alive by taking some tonic medicine, his life was not in danger, but the pain was real and he felt like dying.

Lu Xuan's eyes were red and he was on the verge of going crazy.

His mother told him that the twenty lashes he received were caused by the Wu family!

He must kill those two women from the Wu family!

Du Ye was unaware of his hatred and had no interest in it. He opened the box and tipped it down. A long and thin object fell on the top of the tent.

Du Ye turned over and lay on his back on the roof, his eyes squinting, his posture lazy, waiting quietly.
