There is no airtight wall in the world. Even though Ying Gao deliberately concealed it or even blocked it, the news of Lu Buwei's suicide still spread.
For a time, winds and clouds surged across the land of the Central Plains.
Lu Buwei, the powerful Wenxinhou who had dominated the Qin Dynasty for twenty years, committed suicide. Once the news came out, it caused a sensation in the Central Plains overnight.
Countless disciples rushed to come!
The dispersed customers rushed to Luoyang one after another, and the wealthy businessmen who had been close to Lu's trading company in the early years also came after hearing the news.
At the same time, the monarchs and powerful ministers of the six countries who were unable to come forward in public sent secret envoys to Luoyang to express their condolences.
Even the dying Weiguo came with great fanfare, led by ministers and officials wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety. In just a few days, thousands of people gathered in Luoyang.
After receiving the news and seeing that the development of the matter was uncontrollable, Sanchuan County Sheriff hurriedly came to discuss Ying Gao's situation. He knew in his heart that this matter could not be delayed for a long time.
"Third Young Master, now there are a large number of merchants and retainers. Secret envoys from the six countries have entered Luoyang, and even officials from the Wei Kingdom have come. They want the body of Marquis Wenxin. What should we do now?"
The incident happened in Luoyang, which is the territory of Sanchuan County. At this moment, the governor of Sanchuan County was very worried. If this matter was not controlled well, chaos would definitely occur.
Hearing this, Ying Gao's eyes flashed. He knew that after Lu Buwei committed suicide, trouble finally came.
"Immediately send people to mobilize all the soldiers in Sanchuan County to blockade Lu Buwei's mansion. Anyone who dares to break in from a distance of three feet will be killed without mercy."
"At the same time, we will announce to the world that the funeral of Marquis Wenxin will be handled by his wife and family elders. After everything is completed, the rest of the people can enter to pay their respects."
…
"promise."
Watching the Sanchuan County Sheriff leave, Ying Gao turned to signal to Wang Hu and said: "Go to Wenxinhou's residence immediately to ensure the safety of Mrs. Wenxinhou."
"Especially to prevent suicide!"
"Sir, it shouldn't happen, right?" At this moment, Wang Hu's eyes flashed with surprise. In his opinion, Marquis Wenxin's funeral was not over yet, and there would definitely not be a big chaos.
"in case!"
Ying Gao knew in his heart that it didn't matter if Lu Buwei's wife, or even if Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei committed suicide, but both of them committed suicide, and within a period of time, great chaos would brew.
Now that the King of Qin is in charge, the Qin Dynasty must not be in chaos because of Marquis Wenxin.
"promise."
…
After Wang Hu left, Ying Gao deduced in his mind whether there were any omissions. He knew that the longer Lu Buwei's death was delayed, the greater the trouble would be.
At this moment, he desperately hoped that Qin Wangzheng would make a decision and send someone to collect the body.
…
Just when Ying Gao was about to take action, Lu Buwei's three thousand followers, plus the wealthy businessmen from all over the country, and the secret envoys from various countries were instigated by someone with ulterior motives, and the public sentiment was heated.
"Sir, the news just came out, and the people who came to attend the funeral were in great excitement. If this continues, there will probably be trouble!" After a while, the Sanchuan County Sheriff hurried over.
At this moment, his tone was full of solemnity, and he knew that this matter was troublesome.
Hearing this, Ying Gao's eyes were deep and he shook his head at Sanchuan County Governor: "In the Qin Dynasty, everything is subject to Qin law. Even my father would not dare to violate it."
"However, according to the long-established funeral rituals in the Central Plains, no matter how the funeral specifications of the deceased are determined, there is a first set of procedures that must be carried out immediately after death."
"Preliminary ceremony is necessary, but now that the Tingwei Mansion has not arrived, looking at the whole of Luoyang, who dares to rectify the corpse of Marquis Wenxin, summon the soul, lay the corpse, and lay the curtain."
Speaking of this, Ying Gao spoke in a low tone and said word by word: "In the Great Qin, Qin's law is supreme. Tell everyone in Luoyang that before the Wenxinhou family has not announced its funeral, no one is allowed to mess around. Anyone who violates it will be punished by Qin's law."
Discuss."
"promise."
Hearing this, the governor of Sanchuan County was moved. He knew in his heart that after these four events, the family of the deceased could formally report the funeral to all parties, and then continue with the funeral ceremony with determined specifications.
At this time, we can only use this to hold back the mourners.
"Third Young Master, I know how to deal with it!" Suddenly, the governor of Sanchuan County made a decision in his heart, and his whole aura suddenly changed.
Glancing at Sanchuan County Sheriff, Ying Gao said in a deep voice: "People from all over Shandong rushed to Luoyang, originally they were just here for the funeral."
"Their purpose is just to attend the funeral hosted by me, Da Qin, and give Marquis Wenxin a final farewell. They may not have any grudges against me, Da Qin."
"But among them, there must be people who are dissatisfied with our Great Qin. The mourners rushed all the way to Luoyang in pain and lamentation. When they saw that they were not prepared for anything, they would definitely be excited and easily led by others."
"Immediately send someone to count the visitors, and then make orderly arrangements for guests' stay, mourning, memorial service, wake and other matters."
"Before the King of Xianyang's order comes, we must do what we should do. Otherwise, Luoyang will be in chaos, and the people from the Six Kingdoms will definitely cause trouble."
"I know, please rest assured, Third Young Master!"
Sanchuan County Sheriff bowed solemnly to Ying Gao, and then left in a hurry. After Ying Gao reminded him, he finally realized that he had neglected these things.
"At the same time, an announcement was issued: The body of Marquis Wenxin will be guarded by the County Sheriff's Mansion and awaits inspection by the Tingwei Mansion in accordance with the law. All funeral matters shall be subject to the order of the King of Xianyang."
…
The governor of Sanchuan County was very powerful. After discussing with Ying Gao, he made preparations and posted the notice on the wall of Luoyang.
But as soon as this announcement came out, coupled with the guidance of thoughtful people, the public sentiment became overwhelming and it became unstoppable.
"Such Qin's method is inferior to animals!"
When they saw that Luoyang was quiet and there was no sign of a big event, the mourners were already furious. At this moment, as soon as the announcement came out, the mourners became angry.
There are many people who curse Qin Fa.
Since ancient times, funerals have always been a ritual
First of all, the most taboo is to tamper with the program, and the most taboo is to be frugal and frugal.
The dead are respected.
This is a rule that everyone must abide by. However, the people of the Six Kingdoms are different from the people of the Qin Kingdom. In their hearts, due to the influence of Confucianism in Qi, etiquette is the most important thing in the world.
Especially because of Lu Buwei's different status, there were people who were interested in sowing discord. For a time, public sentiment was raging, and the dissatisfaction with Da Qin was vented.
"Everyone, since Qin doesn't care, we can't let Marquis Wenxin suffer such humiliation..." Zong Qing, the chief minister of the Wei Kingdom, said loudly.
"Yes, we must never let Marquis Wenxin suffer such humiliation..."
For a moment, excited voices rang out from the south gate of Luoyang. In just a short moment, they gathered into a mighty torrent, and a chilling air filled the air.
The people rushing to mourn were so crazy that even Ying Gao did not expect that a single thought would almost cause trouble.
