Chapter 4: Night Visit to the Qian Family
Those who hang out in Shengyun County naturally have connections with the constables, and Shen Bai is no exception.

He ran a pawnshop business, and in some ways he needed to have connections with the government.

While Captain Zheng was speaking, a young constable behind him kept winking at Shen Bai.

Shen Bai understood immediately. Combining the cause and effect, he knew that the government was investigating the death of the old Taoist priest.

"Master Zheng, a few days ago an old Taoist priest did come to redeem the peach wood sword, but he left after redeeming it."

There was not a single word of falsehood in these words, and Shen Bai had no need to lie.

Captain Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Manager Shen, I know you have a close relationship with Zhou Qing, but this matter is of great importance. Could you please allow my men to go in and search?"

Shen Bai extended his hand and said with a smile, "Old Zhou is a constable in the yamen, and he relies a lot on Chief Constable Zheng's care, so of course he will cooperate."

Captain Zheng hummed and waved to the constable behind him, "Be careful, don't damage anything inside."

Several constables immediately went to the Shen family pawnshop, but the young constable did not go in.

Captain Zheng said with a smile, "I'll come in and sit down too. You two can chat about the past."

After Captain Zheng left, the young constable Zhou Qing came over.

"Old Zhou, you're being disloyal. If you're going to search, you should at least give me some notice, right?"

Shen Bai put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders and said, "You're so surprised."

Zhou Qing, a constable in Shengyun County, is also Shen Bai's good friend in the government office.

Over the past few months, the Shen family pawnshop had received many cases of people changing their pawns and causing trouble, and Zhou Qing had to deal with them all.

Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Old Shen, this is a serious matter. We haven't had enough time to inform you. Don't go out at night for the next few days. If you encounter anything strange, remember to report it to the police."

Shen Bai asked curiously, "Could it be that this is all related to the death of the Qian family's master?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "A force has recently emerged in Shengyun County, claiming to be the Five Hearts Sect. They believe in the Five Hearts facing heaven and living a carefree life. Mr. Qian believed in the Five Hearts Sect and died not long after. The government investigated the Five Hearts Sect and found nothing wrong, but this is a lie that no one would believe."

There are many forces in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the same is true in Shengyun County. As long as similar forces obey the rules, they will not interfere.

In addition, the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil now, and remote small counties cannot be controlled.

Shen Bai touched his chin.

He had heard of the Five Hearts Sect, and it seemed that there were quite a few believers in the county.

While the two were chatting, Captain Zheng had already walked out of the house with his men.

"The investigation is complete. Shopkeeper Shen can now return to business. Sorry for bothering you."

"Captain Zheng, you're too polite. We ordinary people must cooperate with the government."

Shen Bai looked around the room and said, "How about we have a meal together, brothers? When Zhang Chaofeng comes back, I'll ask him to buy some wine and meat."

Captain Zheng shook his head and said, "Come back later. Zhou Qing, take your men and let's go to the next house. Wait, does Shopkeeper Shen have a sword?"

"Everyone knows about the master of the Qian family. I also carry a sword for self-defense." Shen Bai said with a smile.

Captain Zheng patted Shen Bai on the shoulder and said, "As long as you don't go out at night, there will be no danger. Brothers, let's go!"

The detectives left in a hurry without greeting Shen Bai again.

Shen Bai looked at Captain Zheng's back, thought for a moment, and then thought to himself, "But I'm really greedy."

……

After returning to the pawnshop, Zhang Chaofeng arrived not long after.

Today was an ordinary day as usual, the only difference was that there was only Zhang Chaofeng in front of the counter.

Shen Bai returned to the backyard, holding the rusty sword, and began to practice the Blood Sword Dance.

[Blood Sword Dance +1+1+1…]

Although his proficiency level was increasing slowly, Shen Bai was not in a hurry. As long as it continued to increase, it was fine.

And every time it went up, Shen Bai could feel that he was becoming more and more familiar with the control of the Blood Sword Dance.

Shen Bai had been practicing the Liver Blood Sword Dance throughout the morning, and his stomach felt increasingly empty.

"Lao Zhang, keep an eye on me. I'm going out to have a meal."

Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by a surge of energy and blood. Shen Bai was really getting hungry.

When he got to the street, Shen Bai ate five bowls of rice and two kilograms of meat, and then returned to the pawnshop in the astonished eyes of the shop owner.

"Boss, why aren't you drinking tea and looking at paintings today?" Zhang Chaofeng asked curiously. Shen Bai coughed and said, "You're not a scholar."

After saying that, Shen Bai planned to return to the inner courtyard to continue practicing the Blood Sword Dance.

Zhang Chaofeng hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, I'd like to take a leave in a few days. My troubled wife is going back to her parents' home, and I'd like to see her off."

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "The world is not going well. Be careful when you go."

"Okay." Zhang Chaofeng agreed.

……

Shen Bai practiced the Blood Sword Dance throughout the afternoon, and went to have a meal in the middle until evening.

Before my eyes, a line of smoke appeared and gradually condensed into words.

【血剑舞lv.3（剑术+4，破魔+4，震荡+4）：800/5000】

Shen Bai stared at the words until they disappeared, then came to the door holding a rusty iron sword.

Zhang Chaofeng had left long ago, and everyone who was leaving get off work was very active.

"I still can't help it."

Shen Bai looked at the dark street ahead, then looked at himself in all black.

The liver is a means, and evil spirit is also a means.

Evil spirit not only increases the speed of identification, but also allows the supernatural power to undergo a qualitative change at critical moments.

The source of evil spirit comes from weirdness.

The old Taoist priest died in the Qian family, which became strange.

Mr. Qian's death in the Qian family is also likely to be strange.

Shen Bai felt that since he had come here to live a second life and had this golden finger, it would be a waste of his trip if he didn't give it a try.

You can do it.

But watching huge wealth slip away is not Shen Bai's character.

It’s like seeing a stunning beauty taking off her clothes, which man can control himself?

The night was as dark as ink. Shen Bai closed the door, covered his eyes with a black cloth, and quietly rushed towards the Qian family.

……

Qian family.

As one of the wealthy families in Shengyun County, it is currently shrouded in dark clouds.

The gate was covered with white cloth, and the mansion, which was once bustling with activity, was now deserted.

With such a big incident and the death of a Taoist priest, no one dared to continue living here.

The entire Qian family was silent, like a silent ghost den.

Shen Bai came to a secluded corner, and after making sure that there was no one there, he kicked his legs hard.

The hot air in his body flowed to his legs, and Shen Bai easily climbed over the wall.

With the cover of tree branches, Shen Bai was looking around carefully.

The constable had come during the day, but it was already night and there was no one there.

Shen Bai thought for a moment and prepared to turn over and go down to test the situation.

Now that you are here, you can't come for nothing. Even if you go back empty-handed, you still have to go for a walk.

The fisherman couldn't catch any fish and had to carry a cow back home, let alone him?

Just as Shen Bai was about to climb over the wall, a gust of wind blew by.

On the wall opposite Shen Bai, a figure appeared and imitated Shen Bai, using branches to cover himself.

Under the high bright moon.

Shen Bai and the black-clad figure looked at each other, and there was an awkward atmosphere.
