He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already noon. The sun that had just entered winter was not strong and the sunlight was quite mild. The wooden coffin made of fine golden nanmu shone with golden light in the sunlight.
Qin Hao put on a linen mourning dress, walked slowly to the coffin, glanced at Mu Ruidong, who had a calm face, and said softly: "Seal the coffin."
Sealing the coffin, also known as nailing the coffin, once the coffin lid is closed, it means that the person in the coffin will no longer exist in the world and will be separated from his family.
"Chop nails!"
The people who nailed the coffin took out their tools and nailed the coffin lid. Then Qin Hao, Mu Qianxue, and Mu Qianjun knelt down in front of the coffin and said goodbye to Mu Ruidong.
When Qin Hao stood up, he adjusted his mourning clothes and glanced behind him. Standing there were the two daughters Mu Qianxue and Mu Qianjun, followed closely by the senior directors of Mu Group, as well as some of Mu Ruidong's relatives and friends during his lifetime.
"Carry the coffin!" There was a cry, and Qin Hao specially selected 32 brothers from Yunshan and Dai Qianni, a total of 64 strong men, to lift the coffin. Starting from the front, plus the rest, a total of more than a hundred people walked outside in a mighty manner.
Just walking out of the gate of the Mu family's old house, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw a person standing every three or four meters on both sides of the road wearing a black suit, black sunglasses, and a black mourning belt tied on his left arm. The men wearing cloth formed a long dragon.
"Send Chairman Mu home!" Qin Hao roared, his voice echoing on both sides of the road.
"Sending Chairman Mu back home!" A low roar followed Qin Hao, as if it was contagious, one after another, from near to far, spreading on the road, as far as the eye could see.
As Qin Hao's team moved forward, the black suits on both sides of the road also gathered at the back of the team, and followed the team to form a long black dragon. As the team moved, the number of people increased. The length has been extended, and the momentum has become more and more powerful.
Lin Dongqiang stood at the side of the team, watching the long black dragon gradually go away. His eyes were full of fear and shock, and his heart was palpitating. He murmured in a voice that almost only he could hear: "The glorious funeral is really... Scenery, I’m afraid a state funeral is nothing more than this.”
Immediately, Lin Dongqiang laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, he is originally the emperor of the dark side, and it is normal to have such a posture."
Tianhai itself is a fast-paced city, and life is extremely stressful. It is impossible to survive here without working hard. However, just when people should have just gotten off work and were rushing to have lunch before continuing to work, they suddenly discovered that the two sides of the road were already filled with people wearing black suits, and everyone had a tattoo on their left arm. A black mourning cloth hangs.
Moreover, among this group of people, there are a large number of police officers in police uniforms who are trying to maintain order. In the middle of the road, two police cars are leading the way. The posture is very similar to the scene in the ancient TV series when the emperor dies and goes to funeral. , making people wonder if they are dreaming.
At first, people just thought it was someone who had died, and curiously took photos and posted them on their WeChat Moments and on the Internet. But something surprising happened to them. All their friends in the film industry left messages below, saying that they had also encountered the same situation. This kind of situation, and it is all close to the western suburbs, and various clues are connected together, causing the Chinese people who love to watch the excitement to discuss it for a while.
You know, this is not a rural area. This is Tianhai, an international financial metropolis. There has not been such a large-scale road closure for many years. Even national leaders travel with this kind of pomp.
So, the question is, who died
After discussing for a while, people gradually became impatient. The traffic jam prevented them from traveling conveniently. Buses, private cars, and taxis all had to stop and give way, and cars in other urban areas were not allowed to pass. Entering the western suburbs again, this immediately aroused people's dissatisfaction, and they started shouting and protesting. Some even bothered the police who were maintaining order, demanding an explanation.
Fang Wen naturally received feedback from his subordinates, so he had to get out of the car and trotted to Qin Hao's side. He said in a very embarrassed tone: "Boss, do you think you can tell the brothers to disperse? There are too many people." Well, if the brothers who arranged the entire section of the road have to join in, then it is estimated that the five or six hours of journey will not be possible."
Qin Hao must be clear about the tasks he ordered. Just as Fang Wen said, if the increase continues like this, the traffic in the entire western suburbs of Tianhai will be completely paralyzed for at least five or six hours.
Looking at the dark crowd of heads behind him, Qin Hao waved to Tiezhu: "Tell the brothers behind you that you can send them as soon as possible. Too many people will cause chaos. Just disperse a group of people within an hour."
Seeing Qin Hao's decision, Fang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, although this matter had been approved by his superiors, it would not end well for him if it went too far. Furthermore, Qin Hao's original intention was to give Mu Ruidong a glorious burial and relieve Mu Qianxue's guilt. Obviously, his goal has been achieved. If this is not considered glorious, there is nothing in this world that can be called glorious. The word "scenery" comes to mind.
The long and huge funeral procession continued to move forward. Because of Qin Hao's strategy, the number of people did not increase, but it did not decrease either. After a group of people left, there would always be people in black suits on both sides of the road joining in.
About three hours have passed, and the discussion on the Internet has become more and more lively. Countless people are curious about which big figure caused such a sensation. What's more, what makes them strange is that the media that should be catching the wind has never been there. He had appeared, and not a single news about this incident had been reported, which made people even more convinced that this big shot was definitely something special.
Another hour or so passed, and finally some media on the Internet spoke up. The first to speak out was the "News Evening News", the most official newspaper in Tianhai City, which also has the highest sales volume and the most credibility. Just when people doubted the accuracy of this report At that time, all doubts and negative voices disappeared immediately following the announcement of the "People's Daily".
Because this is the People's Daily!
The most authoritative and influential major newspaper in China, it is also an authoritative and serious comprehensive daily newspaper. It relies on its editorial power to respond to news events and report on major domestic and foreign events. These are the "People's Daily" Features of the Daily.
More importantly, the "People's Daily" is a central government organ with strong political implications. If any media in China has the possibility of fraud, it is absolutely impossible for the "People's Daily" because it represents the Chinese media. face.
The media's comments finally let people know who the death caused the uproar. Mu Ruidong, the chairman of Mu Group, is also the protagonist who set off a wave of crusade and boycott on the Internet a few days ago, Mu Qianxue's father.
Mu Ruidong's death has long been spread on the Internet. The reason why Mu Qianxue was criticized and boycotted in the first place was because his father passed away and his daughter was unfilial to fight for the inheritance and not keep the funeral.
However, they could not have imagined that Mu Ruidong's real resume would be like this. According to reports, Mu Ruidong is a philanthropic tycoon. Under his management, Mu Group invests hundreds of millions in charity every year. In his lifetime, he founded nearly a hundred companies in his own name. Orphanages, nursing homes, etc. As for donations to disaster-stricken areas, there are countless donations to help poor students.
Such a person who made great contributions to the country has passed away forever. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the people who respect and admire him to hold a funeral spontaneously. I still remember that it was written in the book that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when great men passed away, the people Farewell along the ten-mile long street.
Mu Ruidong is also a great man! great person!
In fact, there is nothing false about Mu Ruidong's achievements. The charity he has done in his life may be slightly exaggerated, but it definitely matches his status as a philanthropic tycoon.
At this time, putting on such an identity and a report card immediately blocked everyone's mouth. Even the Internet trolls and keyboard warriors did not dare to attack. They understood that in this matter, populism They were on Mu Ruidong's side, even though the traffic in the entire western suburb of Tianhai was almost paralyzed because of him.
As for some young people with ulterior motives, they are even more afraid to speak out. Haven't you seen that even the People's Daily is speaking out and building momentum for Mu Ruidong? Hitting him at this time would be the same as seeking death.
Of course, they would not stop there and could not attack Mu Ruidong. People pointed their fingers at Mu Qianxue. How could Muridong, such an outstanding and kind-hearted philanthropist, have such a heartless, unfaithful and unfilial daughter? Remarks like this flooded various forums and online media, and Mu Qianxue was once again on the hot search list. Of course, they were the kind of accusations and insults.
Just when people were uncovering the whipped body of Mu Qianxue in the incident and venting their anger, the situation on the Internet changed dramatically again. First of all, the Tianhai Police official website, Weibo, and forums made official statements, announcing the guilt of Mu Ruidong's death, and also announced the identities of Wang Jianhua and Murixi, restoring the truth and giving Mu Qianxue innocence.
Then, Qin Hao asked the Internet promoters arranged by Erwa to immediately carry out public opinion public relations, and the limelight suddenly changed. Even though there were some people who were stubborn and unwilling to admit that they had made mistakes, most people still realized their mistakes, except for a few who still persisted. Making nonsense and spreading rumors.
The official statement and the deliberate guidance of public opinion have created an image of Mu Qianxue like Dou E. In addition to this send-off, Mu Qianxue, a female generation, has been walking for more than four hours in a row wearing mourning clothes. , people can no longer calm down.
The terms "filial daughter" and "injustice" appear on the Internet. At the same time, there are also all kinds of infamy. Of course, the target of the accusation this time is no longer Mu Qianxue, but Murui Xi and Wang Jianhua. More people are complaining about Mu Qianxue, and they are strongly Demand legal sanctions against Murissi.
If Qin Hao saw these comments on the Internet now, he would definitely find it extremely ridiculous. They were the ones who blamed, abused, and boycotted Mu Qianxue. Now they are the ones complaining about Mu Qianxue, avowing injustice, and praising him. However, they don't seem to realize that For their own mistakes, very few people chose to express their apologies to Mu Qianxue.
Subsequently, a paragraph quickly became popular on the Internet, and this paragraph was also the end of the official statement.
"What is really scary are those who uncritically accept and believe the opinions of those who spread rumors and public opinions, those who do not create or understand anything themselves but just follow other people's easy-to-accept opinions. People who dance together to the beat of drums. They don’t even consider for a moment whether what they do is wrong. They never think that they may hurt someone needlessly and fatally. No matter what the consequences of their actions are, they don’t care. Be responsible. It’s these people who are really scary.”
