Chapter 202 Ren Ping's back move

Chapter 202. Ren Ping's back move

Due to the influence of public opinion, the police at the police station only interrogated Liu Shitang once, and there was no movement. The other case was also temporarily unable to file due to too many involvements.

It can be said that things are moving in the direction Liu Shitang imagined. If this continues, he will be released without charge in two days, and then start revenge against Ren's wood industry.

It's a pity that he miscalculated a little. Ren Ping's real trick is not the old case more than half a year ago, but something else!

……

There is a lake on the north side of the main campus of Nanling University, named "Jinshi Lake". This is not the original name. In fact, no one knows what the original name of this lake is.

The most widely circulated story is that Nanling University had not yet been established when the Jinshi He family moved from their ancestral home of Tanzhou to Nanling University, and one of the ancestors of the He family was one of the founders of Nanling University.

Later, in order to commend the contribution of the He family in founding NTU, the school specially approved a piece of land here and built a house as his residence. Because of the prestigious reputation of the Jinshi He family, the word Jinshi Lake spread like wildfire.

After decades, the He family's house by the lake has been rebuilt several times, but it still looks like an old-school scholarly courtyard on the outside.

Except for a few old parents, most of the descendants of the He family do not live here. However, in recent days, the descendants of the He family scattered in Nanling and even Jiangning Province suddenly returned to this house. people.

Such a battle is unprecedented even during the New Year, and their purpose is only one: to worship their ancestors.

Two months ago, the publication of "Tanzhou Chronicles" completed the Jinshi name list of the ancestors of the He family since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and officially polished the golden signboard of "Jinshi He Family" in front of the world.

However, they were not in a hurry to pray to their ancestors, but were waiting patiently.

The Qianlong Calligraphy that appeared immediately after the "Tanzhou Chronicles" is also extremely important:

Tongchao Wenqu, who is a Jinshi?

If the ancestors of the Jinshi of the He family can get the emperor Qianlong's imperial pen inscription as a testimony, then it will be the real glorious lintel.

Finally, the day they waited for came!
In the spacious courtyard, there were nearly a hundred people standing in a staggered pattern according to the elders and concubines. Everyone held a bunch of incense in their hands, waiting for the ceremony to come forward to worship the ancestors.

There are many young talents or virtuous people among these people, but the focus of everyone's attention is on one person, how to trace the origin.

This young man in his early thirties is not only a direct descendant of the He family, but also the youngest associate professor in the history of Nantah University. He is one of the most promising candidates for the entire He family to become a future parent.

If before this, there was still suspense about the ownership of the head of the family, then after he brought "Tanzhou Chronicle" back to the He family, and got the Qianlong calligraphy from Ren Ping, the suspense was completely over.

"Ancestor Worship! Li Cheng!"

Accompanied by two loud shouts, soon after the ancestor worship ceremony was over, He Suyuan returned from the altar in front of the genealogy with the two things in his hands, and the clansmen saluted and gave way wherever they passed.

At this moment, suddenly, a scream sounded from the crowd, although it was not loud, but the voice was sharp, like a child's voice.

Everyone followed the reputation, and saw that it was a boy of six or seven years old, named He Jing, who belonged to the branch of the He family.

Because they disturbed the final ceremony, many elders in the clan showed displeasure and wanted to scold them, but immediately after seeing the frightened expression on the little boy's face, they couldn't help being surprised:
"What's wrong? He Jing?"

"You...you look at this."

He Jing's voice was trembling, and he pointed to the thing in his hand. He saw that it was an instrument about the size of a palm. Many people recognized it at a glance, and many of them also had it.

An old man who was nearby took it over, flipped through the video, and then couldn't help but change his face:
"Is this taken from your traceable brother?"

"Yes."

The old man ignored him, but walked quickly to another gray-haired old man in front of the altar, and pointed to the instrument: "Patriarch, trace the source, look."

This gray-haired old man is the current patriarch of the He family, named He Zhengxin. Beside him is He Suyuan who has not gone far.

What is shown in the instrument is the details of the Qianlong calligraphy that He Suyuan carefully photographed in the suburbs of Nanling County that day, which was originally used to verify the authenticity.

But in the upper right corner, in an invisible corner, a scene suddenly flashed by.

This scene was very short, only a few seconds before and after, but because of the extremely high pixels of the instrument, it was still recorded clearly:

A thin old man was walking slowly in the corner of the forest. Suddenly, another tall figure fell from a nearby tree and struck the thin old man hard in the back.

The tall old man was extremely sharp, with a sharp blade gleaming with cold light in his hand, it seemed that he had planned it for a long time, but after receiving this blow, the thin old man immediately fell to the ground and remained motionless.

It was a murder!
It was originally a video for appraising Qianlong calligraphy, but such a case was accidentally captured, and everyone in the He family was shocked, thinking it was a coincidence.

Only He Zhengxin frowned slightly: "This is not a coincidence,"

After a moment, he turned his head and said, "Tracing the source, what do you think?"

He Suyuan nodded. In fact, the moment he saw the murder scene, he immediately realized that it was not a coincidence, but a carefully arranged situation.

As for the organizer, it was obviously Ren Ping who was the only one present besides him.

No wonder he was suddenly willing to sell this Qianlong calligraphy painting after two months;

No wonder he didn't take a penny, but gave away this thing worth tens of millions for free;
No wonder they didn't meet in Nanling, but chose such a remote and deserted suburb of the county.

It turned out that the drunken man didn't want to drink!
A feeling of anger at being taken advantage of rose up in his chest, but it quickly dissipated. He Suyuan shook his head and looked at He Zhengxin:

"Patriarch, what do you say?"

He Zhengxin sighed: "When you told what happened that day, I felt something was wrong. The other party didn't have a deep friendship with my He family, so how could they be so righteous? Now it seems that they have another purpose."

"I was negligent. I thought he had already made the request that day, so I didn't do what he thought."

"What request? That little girl transferred to another school? Haha, tracing back to the source, you are still too naive. How can such a trivial matter be worth 1000 million? What's more, the other party is also a sensible person. How could he not know what this Qianlong calligraphy painting means to me? Extraordinary, but far from comparable to 1000 million? The bargaining chips of both parties simply do not match, how can a deal be completed?"

He Suyuan was ashamed, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help admiring the depth of Ren Ping's city. He actually started to arrange this situation two months ago!

"It seems that he wants to use our help to call the police."

"That's right. Although we don't even know who is in the video, there must be a reason for him."

At this time, the ins and outs of the matter had spread among the clansmen. Many people could not help but hesitate when they heard that the He family was being used by others and might be involved in criminal cases.

"Patriarch, our He family has been very independent over the years. Apart from teaching and educating people and participating in politics, we have never participated in external disputes. If this case is reported, I am afraid it will be difficult to be clean in the future."

"I heard that Ren Ping is a businessman. Businessmen are only interested in profit and have no faith. There is no guarantee that they will pester us with this matter in the future. It is better to just ignore it. Also, there has been a big storm in the mall recently, involving two companies, one is called Shang Long Decoration, and another one named Renshi Wood Industry, seems to be related to this person, and I am afraid there is a connection between them."

"Yeah, actually, if he wants us to help, he can just say it directly, there is no need to play such tricks. What makes me most angry is that he made it clear that he wants to use our He family as a sword."

All the clansmen talked about it, and for a while, they all disagreed that the He family was involved.

He Zhengxin didn't say anything when he heard the words, just smiled slightly, looked at He Suyuan, thinking that you will be the head of the house soon, and you should make up your own mind.

He Suyuan naturally understood what he meant, paused, and raised his head:
"Patriarch, we still call the police."

"why?"

"Firstly, since the murder case is true, we did not report it if we knew it, which is inconsistent with the situation and the law; secondly, we only reported the case and did not testify, so the police will solve the case without affecting the involvement of the He family; thirdly, Come……"

"What are you talking about? Tell me what you have to say."

"Thirdly, I think this "Tanzhou Chronicle" and Qianlong's calligraphy are not fake. Mr. Ren spent so much effort and was willing to give us such a big favor with the He family. We can't remain indifferent. Good luck."

The three reasons were all sound and well-founded, and all the tribesmen stopped saying anything after hearing the words.

He Zhengxin smiled, and patted He Suyuan on the shoulder:

"That's it, send someone to call the police."

"Yes."

……

In Renzhai, when the ancestor worship ceremony was held in the He family's house, Ren Ping was sitting in front of the door, dazed.

His eyes were not focused, and he seemed to be at a loss, but in fact, the inextricable information in his mind was intertwining with each other, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He has arranged this game for more than two months, and the most critical step is the Jinshi He family. If there is no such link, the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

But Jinshi He's family is no better than others, and the literati are proud, and they cannot be driven by ordinary interests. Even the "Tanzhou Zhi" and Qianlong's calligraphy are two things, they dare not guarantee it.

So far, only resignation.

This sitting lasted from afternoon to evening, watching the sunset and dusk. When my patience was about to run out, a figure suddenly appeared from the corner of the street.

This figure is very familiar, you don't need to look much to know that it is Ye Shiyun, I saw her rushing from a distance in a hurry, although her makeup was a little messy, but the joy on her face was undisguised.

"It's done! The He family has called the police!" She said directly as soon as they met.

Ren Ping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and looked at the sky, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly:

"Okay, everything depends on tomorrow."
