Chapter 119 Who dares to object

That night, the old congressman and the mayor were brutally killed at home.

They had different notes on their bodies, one of which read: "Yes, we now demand that women enter parliament and that women occupy half of the seats."

Another read: "He shook his head."

Once this explosive news was published, it set off an uproar in the entire Ouzhou.

Soon after, even the newsboys in Tianjin were holding their newspapers and shouting, "Extraordinary! Extraordinary! Prince Regent Zaifeng has ordered Yuan Shikai, the Grand Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs, to resign and return home.

Strange cases have occurred one after another in the British Empire. The limited inheritance system may be overturned, and women may become heirs for the first time! "

A passing sedan stopped and a lady handed out a few copper coins, "Give me a newspaper."

The mayor and parliamentarians of the British Empire were attacked one after another, and the attitude of the perpetrators was so clear that many people were terrified.

The media of the British Empire were the most proactive. They all went out in force, surrounding people from all walks of life near various office buildings and asking them to express their attitudes towards the limited inheritance law.

These people were now as scared as rats crossing the street. They dared not speak at all, not even to say the word "no". They were afraid that waving their hands would be considered as a negative expression. So they had to flee from the encirclement of reporters at a very fast speed with expressionless faces. The scene was very funny.

The funniest thing is that one councillor said, "No comment," which was written by a tabloid reporter as, "Member So-and-so kept his objection to himself."

The congressman was so frightened that he immediately published a statement in newspapers, on the radio, and on posters outside his house: "I have absolutely no such intention. In fact, I strongly support the amendment of the law on limited inheritance."

The Thorn Assassination Team helped more than a dozen noble ladies solve the problems of limited heirs, but the police could not get any valuable information from these beneficiaries.

These days, public opinion is surging. Outside, it is the calm before the storm, and a certain atmosphere is almost reaching its peak.

At this time, Luo Jiu was leisurely holding a book and reading quietly in front of the fireplace at Creek Farm.

Cheng Yaoyao came in with a happy face, "Good news, Elizabeth's second, third, and fourth heirs all issued statements today to give up the inheritance."

Luo Jiu nodded, "As expected, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death."

"By the way, there is another piece of news. The joint press conference originally scheduled for this afternoon has been cancelled."

Luo Jiu curled his lips, "It's true that they are not afraid of pain unless the knife is stabbed into their bodies. Now that several seniors have set an example, they have all become well-behaved and dare not speak carelessly."

Cheng Yaoyao was worried, "But they have been hiding and refuse to change the inheritance law. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, they can't keep pretending to be dead. If they keep pretending to be dead, I will let them die for real.

The day after tomorrow is the day when the parliamentary session begins, and someone will definitely bring it up. Let’s see who dares to vote against it.”

Luo Jiu drank a cup of hot tea and said, "Let's go. Since we have nothing to do today, let's go to the market."

The two passed by the post office and saw letters addressed to Creek Farm in the window. The recipient was addressed in crooked English words "Prada", followed by "Prada" in Chinese.

Cheng Yaoyao frowned, "Is this for Jialing? Isn't she Amanda?"

Luo Jiu: "It could also be for Sister Qi, she is Pandora."

"How are Prada and Pandora similar?"

"They all have one."

No matter who it was for, it was sent to the farm, but it was just the four of them.

Luo Jiu returned to the farm holding the letter and asked Feng Qi, "What is your name, Yingwen?"

Feng Qi was stunned for a moment, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Camora."

Luo Jiu's eyes darkened and he threw the letter to her. "I knew it was you. Fortunately, the farm address was written correctly, otherwise I would never find you, the recipient, in this life."

Feng Qi opened the letter and saw that it was written by Fan Shun. The letter said that Jones had applied for an overseas assignment and would go to Indu to serve as a diplomat next month, and his whole family would go there.

In addition, a new labor camp was opened twenty miles away from Liverpool. Fan Shun would usually work with the workers in Liverpool. He asked if he could develop these people into the national salvation team.

Feng Qi discussed with Luo Jiu, "We already have nearly 30,000 people, should we continue to grow?"

"Development. If we want to fight a war, why should we be afraid of having too many soldiers? If we can gather hundreds of thousands of troops, I think we can first conquer Ouzhou and then return home."

Feng Qi sighed, "There are so many people, and we need so much money. We don't have time to rob banks recently."

Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, petty thefts like robbing a bank won't be worth our while in the future.

If we are going to do something, let's do something big. Wouldn't it be better to empty their treasury before we leave?

And there is an opportunity to make a fortune right before our eyes, waiting for us to take action.

Once I finish my work these few days, I will have time to do it. "

These two days, the focus of work is still on resolving the issue of limited inheritance law.

The parliament convened two days later, but the issue of revising the inheritance law, which originally required a public vote, was temporarily changed to an anonymous vote.

A total of 650 members of parliament participated in the vote, 432 voted against, 217 voted in favor, and one abstained.

The media was eager to see the excitement and immediately published a long list of the 650 MPs. Based on their usual attitudes towards women's issues, they used different colors to analyze who voted against and who voted in favor.

Because of the fear that those who voted in favor would curse and swear, and fearing that they would be innocently implicated, dozens of lawmakers stood up that day and said that they had voted in favor.

Many lawmakers also hung pink flags on their doors to show that they voted in favor and hoped to avoid being injured by mistake.

Luo Jiu also took a newspaper and circled the names on it with a red pen. "Tonight, kill these twenty first. Tomorrow night, kill these thirty."

The murder banner read: "He voted no."

Although this approach is simple and crude, it is effective.

After only two nights of killing, the parliament immediately re-voted on the revision of the inheritance law. With 650 votes from current and alternate members, it was passed unanimously!

The parliament announced that it would officially announce the revised new bill in three days. It also announced that the parliament would amend the election law this month to allow women to run for parliament.

When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Zhong Jialing read the news in the newspaper three times over and over again, "Oh my God, we really changed the world."

They actually advanced this historical process by more than ten years!

This is equivalent to the fact that originally a plant needs to have its seeds planted in the soil and go through spring, summer, autumn and winter before it can bloom and bear fruit. However, a genius came and invented soilless cultivation, and was able to make the fruit grow in just three days.

Luo Jiu was also very happy, "Call all the girls over, don't train today, give them three days off, and we will celebrate together."

Feng Qi said, "Then let's just go find Charlotte and spend this special day with her."

Cheng Yaoyao said, "Let's have the party over there and bring some food with us."

The girls chattered, carrying plates and baskets, and ran to Charlotte's manor in groups of three or five.

This place has become their second home. The servants smiled and opened the door. Luo Jiu and Zhong Jialing ran in hand in hand and pushed open Charlotte's door. "Charlotte, did you see that..."

Luo Jiu quickly stopped talking, as Charlotte was not the only one in the room.
