Chapter 203
Chapter 203. Qiu's official law
Two days later, Liu Shitang was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, but he did not leave in a hurry, but waited until a group of people swarmed in outside the police station.

The leader was Yang Song and other members of the Calligraphy Association, some of them carried cameras and microphones, surrounded several policemen for interviews, they looked like reporters;
Some were dressed in suits, and took out a lawyer's letter to the police station from their briefcases, which should be private lawyers;

Others broke into the detention room and took pictures of Liu Shitang, causing a lot of noise.

These were all arranged by Liu Shitang privately in the past two days, with the purpose of launching a counterattack against Ren Ping by taking advantage of public opinion after going out.

As the specific executor, Yang Song was full of pride after entering the door, showing him a flattering smile.

Liu Shitang smiled slightly, lowered his head again, and whispered while continuing to write:

"Is everything arranged outside?"

"It's all good. I asked those reporters to prepare the press release in advance. As soon as you go out, as soon as this afternoon, the public opinion of all parties will condemn Ren's wood industry together and demand justice for you."

"anything else?"

"Of course, he colluded with the police and maliciously framed his competitors. Those policemen couldn't bear the pressure, and the custody also gave him a taste of being detained!"

Liu Shitang nodded, dropped the brush in his hand, folded the rice paper on the table and walked out.

At this time, the policemen in the police station were busy dealing with those sharp-tongued reporters. At the moment when they were in a hurry, he pushed aside the crowd and put the piece of rice paper on the table.

Several police officers were taken aback: "What is this?"

"A letter, written to the person who framed me, please pass it on to a few police officers." Liu Shitang said lightly.

Some reporters were quick and unfolded the folded rice paper, only to see eight large characters written on it:

The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good!
This naturally means that someone secretly framed him, and the Skynet was restored, so he couldn't escape his own backlash.

When everyone saw it, there was a burst of applause immediately. Those reporters like breaking news the most, how can they miss it at this time?Immediately there was another burst of verbal confrontation:
"Mr. Liu, I heard that you think this theft was framed by someone. Do you know who the other party is? Is it the new head of Ren's Wood Industry that is rumored to be the outside world? Is there any quarrel between you and him?" ?”

"Ren's Wood launched a series of furniture with hundred longevity pictures a month ago, and you will soon get a set of precious hundred-character pictures. It is said that the corresponding series of furniture will be launched soon. Does this count as direct competition between the two? "

"For someone who accused you of stealing, do you have strong evidence to prove your innocence, and where did the hundred-character map come from?"

"Officer, is there no progress in this case yet? For Mr. Liu's request, transfer these eight words to the informant. How do you feel? Will you try to transfer them?"

Amidst the din, Liu Shitang raised his mouth slightly as he watched the policemen who were being tortured by the reporters.

This is the effect he wants, the goal has been achieved in a short period of time, and the next step is the feature film.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly——

"Why bother to hand it over, I'm right here."

The clear voice came from not far away, and it was quite familiar, followed by several figures walking in from outside the police station.

"It's you? What are you doing here?"

The person who came was Ren Ping, and the moment he appeared, Liu Shitang couldn't help feeling tense, with a vague premonition that this person suddenly appeared at this critical juncture, and there was no way he would be aimless.

There are also several other people beside him, all of whom are unfamiliar faces. Three of them are wearing police uniforms, and they should also be police officers, but judging by the police ranks on their shoulders, they are not low-ranking.

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, is quite majestic.

There is also a little girl with twin ponytails, she looks only eight or nine years old, and she appears here for some reason, but the Ms. Mo I saw last time is not among them.

Suddenly remembering what Huang Cangming said two days ago in his mind, Liu Shitang couldn't help but stare at the little girl.

At this time, several policemen finally squeezed out from the crowd and walked to one of the senior police officers.

It turned out that this person was their leader, so he handed the rice paper directly to Ren Ping without looking at it carefully.

Ren Ping took a look, and smiled: "Heaven's law is clear, retribution is not good, Mr. Liu's handwriting is good, what is this called? Left font big characters?"

Liu Shitang ignored the sarcasm in his words, and said again: "What are you doing here?"

Before Ren Ping could reply, the director on the side suddenly spoke:
"Sorry, Mr. Liu, you can't leave yet."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar. The reporters had already realized that something had changed, and they raised their guns and short cannons and waited for it seriously.

Yang Song raised his eyebrows: "Why can't you leave? The detention time has passed 48 hours, and you have no new evidence. Why do you continue to detain him?"

"Besides, Mr. Liu is only cooperating with the investigation as a person involved in the case, but he is not a suspect. Do you think we don't understand the law!"

Everyone in the rest of the Calligraphy Association also joined in, looking like they were fighting for their reasons.

However, Liu Shitang knew that in front of so many reporters, no matter how high his police rank was, he would not dare to openly challenge the law, not to mention that the other party was just a police station chief, so he calmed down and said calmly:
"Officer, do you have any new evidence?"

"No."

"Then why do we continue to be detained? I already said during the arraignment two days ago that there is no real evidence for that Ms. Mo's accusation that I was involved in the theft of the Mo family. For one thing, I have never met those thieves before,"

"Secondly, none of them can prove that my set of hundred-character pictures was stolen from the Mo family. Bar?"

In the past two days, he had already sorted out the key points of the case, and now that he said it clearly, Yang Song and the others burst into yelling again.

The head of the office shook his head when he heard the words: "It's not a headless case. Although there is no evidence that Mr. Liu was involved in the theft, there are people who testify that your set of characters was indeed lost by the Mo family, that is, stolen goods, so you can't leave yet."

"who?"

"Mr. Ren, it's up to you." The director turned to look at Ren Ping.

Ren Ping nodded, patted the head of the little girl beside him, and then pointed to the majestic middle-aged man: "Mr. Liu, do you recognize this gentleman?"

"I don't know."

Liu Shitang said coldly, although he has already noticed that this person has extraordinary temperament and is not an ordinary person, but after thinking about it, he never thought that there is such a person in Nanling.

"It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, but you should have heard of it. Mr. Liu is sure you don't know the four characters of Qiu's official law, right?"

The corner of Ren Ping's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly changed color, not only Liu Shitang, but also Yang Song and other members of the Calligraphy Association behind him were secretly shocked.

Of course they knew the Qiu family's official law, and correspondingly, the other four words made them even more familiar: Zuoqiu Hanli!

Among the five major fonts in seal script, official script and script script, official script is second only to seal script, and can be roughly divided into two categories: Qin Li and Han Li.

According to legend, during the Han Dynasty, a family of calligraphers emerged in the Shanxi-Shaanxi area, with the surname Zuoqiu, that is, the Zuoqiu family improved on the basis of the Qin Li, and evolved into the Han Li, which is more widely spread.

Zuoqiu Hanli refers to the official script style of the Zuoqiu family, which occupies a very important position in the history of official script.

It is said that the Zuoqiu family was passed down from generation to generation, and the inheritance of calligraphy has not been cut off. Until modern times, the surname was changed to Qiu's, and the original Zuoqiu Hanli was further improved into a version that is closer to modern aesthetics, which is Qiu's official method.

Today's Qiu family is of course not limited to one style of official script. The five major scripts are all outstanding and have a detached status in the Chinese calligraphy world. However, when it comes to them, Qiu's official script is still the most profound imprint.

Everyone didn't understand why Ren Ping mentioned these four characters at first, until they suddenly remembered that the large fonts of the five hundred-character pictures were all in official script, and now they think of it, it is closer to Han Li. Could it be that...

"It seems that everyone has already guessed it. This is one of the inheritors of the Qiu family's official law, and the current head of the Qiu family in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Qiu Ci. The set of hundred-character maps is the work of the Qiu family!"
