Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Qiushui Sword! A Bountiful Harvest!
On the bookshelf in front of him, various books and documents were displayed. With the foundation of the Qian Mansion, many of these books were undoubtedly rare copies.
In addition, there were also some calligraphy, paintings, and antiques placed around the study.
It was imaginable that these items undoubtedly contained a lot of Dao Rhyme.
"Very good!"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help rubbing his hands, feeling like a rat falling into a rice jar.
...
[Dao Rhyme Points
23!]
[Dao Rhyme Points
9!]
[Dao Rhyme Points
11!]
[Dao Rhyme Points

[Dao Rhyme Points
31!]
As his hand skimmed over these books, calligraphy pieces, and antiques, a series of prompts appeared before Gu Yuan’s eyes.
The Dao Rhyme Points on his attribute panel visibly increased.
...
"Quick, quick, quick! Go and report to the master immediately! Something big has happened!"
"What happened? Wasn’t the fire getting smaller? What happened?"
"The body of the Sixth Young Master was found in the room where the fire broke out! Clearly, a thief broke into the mansion! We must inform the master!"
"What! Sixth Young Master is dead?!"
...
Just as Gu Yuan was letting loose in taking advantage, some hurried footsteps faintly came from outside the door.
Seeing that he had taken almost enough, Gu Yuan stopped, took the sleeve arrow from Qian Cheng’s arm, then used blood as ink to leave the words "The murderer is Yan Shisan!"
After doing this, he ordered Ah Wu and Ah Huang to leave quickly, while he himself, holding a large iron box, smashed through a window and climbed over the wall to escape from the Qian Mansion.
...
The next day, when the events at the Qian Mansion spread, the entire Beiliang County was in an uproar!
Beiliang County was located on the edge of Shengyang Prefecture. Although relatively poor, this very fact meant that there were rarely any powerful malicious figures frequenting the area, and it was relatively stable with very few major cases occurring.
However, this time the incident was not small!
Someone broke into the Qian Mansion at night, committing murder and arson!
Qian Yunjie and Qian Fengping were one thing, but to most people, they had never even heard of these two.
The key was that the patriarch of the Qian family, Qian Cheng, was also killed on the spot by the thief, and the words "The murderer is Yan Shisan!" were left at the scene.
This was the most newsworthy part!
People’s reactions to the deaths of big figures and small figures are completely different!
The death of a small figure might not attract any attention, not even a second glance, but the death of a big figure could alarm many and have far-reaching consequences!
As the clan leader of the Qian family, Qian Cheng was an undeniably prominent figure in Beiliang County!
On usual days, he associated with the county magistrate, major merchants, and notable landlords and gentry.
As such, this incident was akin to a great stone dropped into the water, splashing a great deal of water and causing huge waves!
At the very least, many keenly noticed that there were more constables patrolling the streets.
Each wore a serious expression, losing the usual slackness.
Some major families reacted vigorously, reasoning that if Yan Shisan could kill Qian Cheng, he could kill them too.
Thus, these people united to petition the county government office, demanding a thorough investigation and severe punishment of the murderer. Privately, they also sent some of their people to search for the killer.
Many murderers and bandits hiding in Beiliang City, who had committed crimes, were either captured or killed!
On the streets, gangs like the Cyan Bamboo Gang, who usually bullied men and women and extorted protection fees, now behaved obsequiously like turtles retreating into their shells.
So as not to be displeased and be used as a sacrificial victim!
For a while, the atmosphere in Beiliang City changed drastically, and the number of people on the streets declined significantly.
At the same time, the name Yan Shisan was remembered by many!
...
In Yunmeng Mountain, Gu Yuan was inventorying his spoils.
The Qian Mansion was indeed a wealthy and powerful family in Beiliang County!
Darn, they were really rich!
The silver notes, combined with those gold, silver, and jewels, totaled over three thousand taels of silver.
With just these, Gu Yuan suspected this might just be Qian Cheng’s private stash, his little treasure chest.
Then there were the two sharp weapons, a saber and a sword.
Especially the long sword, with the characters "Qiushui" engraved on the hilt.
Ching—
Drawing the long sword, the blade was clear as water, seemingly formed from a clear spring, the blade thin and sharp, reflecting like a mirror, exuding a bone-chilling aura!
"Good sword!"
Gu Yuan praised.
Just from the appearance, anyone with a bit of knowledge could see that this was a rare divine weapon!
It was much sharper than his original long sword.
Although this Qiushui Sword might not see the light of day, the name "Yan Shisan" was also a name that couldn’t see the light.
In the future, when using the identity of "Yan Shisan
