Chapter 118 If You Offend a Woman, You Will Die
The next evening, Elizabeth drove alone to Birmingham in plain clothes.
He knocked on the church door and clasped his hands respectfully in front of him, "Hello, I'm looking for Sister Ruby."
Ruby said, "That's me, please follow me."
Ruby took Elizabeth to a small, dimly lit room, similar to the confessional in a Catholic church.
The confessional is usually used by people who have done bad things to confess. People outside talk and the priest inside listens, thus atonement of their sins.
At this moment, Luo Jiu was sitting inside and Elizabeth was sitting outside. They could not see each other but could only hear each other's voices.
Luo Jiu felt more like an employee in the bank's VIP lounge, and Elizabeth was her first customer.
Luo Jiu spoke first, "Elizabeth, are you sure you want us to help you get rid of the heir?"
Elizabeth replied, “Yes, my father passed away this morning, but… I forgot to say something.
Robin is not an ordinary person, he has a certain social status, I don't know if this will cause trouble for your actions."
Luo Jiu said: "It doesn't matter, we are not afraid of trouble. Our actions are to change the law, change the status of women, and thus bring about changes in the whole world.
It's not just to kill a few nameless people to vent your anger. The person you want to kill should have a higher social status, the better, preferably the king. "
Anyway, he is not the king of his own country, so there is no psychological burden or pressure to kill a whole group of them.
Elizabeth chuckled. "That's not the case. He's just a baron."
The order of titles in the British Empire, from high to low, is Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.
Just a small baron, nothing special.
Luo Jiu said: "We can help you deal with Robin, as well as the next heir, the next heir and every heir thereafter, but I also need you to do something.
Don't blame me for saying this upfront. If you change your mind and betray me or Charlotte, we will kill you."
Elizabeth said anxiously, "If I break my promise to you, you don't have to kill me. I will die of shame. The daughter of the Wilson family would not do such a thing."
"Okay, let me tell you something else. If I can do you this favor, I hope you can do me one, too."
"Please tell me. I will help you if I can."
"Your family is a leader in the shipping industry. I want to buy a few big ships, but I can't buy them in my own name. I can give you money and you can buy them for me. When the time is right, I will take the ships away."
Elizabeth thought for a moment. "How big a boat do you want?"
Luo Jiu said: "The bigger the better, it would be best if it could accommodate tens of thousands of people."
"As far as I know, there is no ship this big in the world. However, I can ask the shipyard to build a few cruise ships for you that can carry tens of thousands of people."
Luo Jiu was very happy when he heard it, "Great, how much does it cost?"
Elizabeth: "No money, if you help me get the inheritance, I will give it to you for free."
Luo Jiu said firmly: "It will definitely be as you wish."
Elizabeth handed Robin's relevant information to Luo Jiu through the box-sized window.
After Elizabeth left, Luo Jiu saw Ruby standing at the door with a heavy heart.
"Ruby, what's wrong with you?"
Ruby sighed, "I don't know if what we are doing is right. Will God understand us?"
Luo Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "God may not understand, but God's daughter will definitely understand."
The two were talking when they heard a noise outside. Ruby went out to see and saw that Elizabeth had returned.
Elizabeth said, "I just saw a message about collecting donations on the wall outside. Here is some money. Although it's not much, I hope you can help me pass it on to some people in need, Sister."
Elizabeth left again. Luo Jiu came out and saw Ruby holding the money. He murmured, "Poor Elizabeth, you must help her."
Luo Jiu smiled helplessly and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. "If you need money, call the farm. I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road." Ruby held the door and watched her back slowly disappear into the distance.

The next day, the news of the death of shipping tycoon Duke Wilson was officially published in the newspapers.
That evening, Baron Robin, the first-in-line heir, died at home.
He also had a piece of cloth on his body that read: "You don't deserve it."
The mysterious murderer took clear photos and sent them anonymously to major newspapers in Ouzhou, making them convenient for all the onlookers.
The next morning, the Wilson heir case made headlines in newspapers across Au Chau.
It happened that on the morning of that day, municipal officials, well-known figures in the legal community and the police were going to hold a joint press conference and give public speeches in the Citizen Square to explain the Dayukou train explosion to the public.
The strong pressure from public opinion brought the press conference into a white-hot stage from the very beginning.
Reporters from various houses rushed to ask questions, one of the main questions being: "Have you considered amending the law on limited inheritance?"
The mayor shook his head repeatedly. The old councillor with white hair said angrily: "Why amend it? If they dare to ask for a woman to be the heir today, they will ask for a woman to enter the parliament tomorrow. This loophole cannot be opened."
Luo Jiu stood in the audience and watched this scene, his heart was shocked.
She had known that they would have such an attitude, but she didn't expect that they would have the nerve to say it in public.
In this vast empire, from the king and prime minister to the mayor, county governor, duke and earl, they are not women and will not fight for women's rights for no reason.
They live a rich, decent, and beautiful life passed down from generation to generation, enjoying the privilege of being a vassal of women. They will never experience the humiliation of being expelled from their own home, and they will never taste the pain of being forced to marry in order to survive. How could they care about the plight of these women?
These old men who hold the law are so arrogant that they will not lower their heads and listen to the cries of these women.
This time, Luo Jiu decided to make the matter as big as possible.
She waved her hand and Zhu Jiumei squeezed through the crowd.
Luo Jiu reminded her in her ear: "Remember the name of the person speaking on the stage. This old councilman and the mayor are the targets of tonight's action."
Zhu Jiumei nodded and asked Luo Jiu: "But the mayor didn't answer the question."
Luo Jiu said: "He shook his head."
Yes, even shaking your head is not an option.
These arrogant upper-class people have a bad habit of not treating women as human beings.
They are so disrespectful and rude when it comes to the topic of women's rights. In the final analysis, they just look down on women.
They think that I am the master with power and status, and a woman? I am not even worthy of inheriting my own property. I have offended you, so what can you do?
Luo Jiu will answer them with actions: if you offend a woman, you will die.
She wanted them to be trembling with fear from now on, to answer every question related to women carefully, and even to think twice before shaking their heads, raising their hands, and voting.
She wanted those high-ranking rulers to stay awake at night, always worrying about the cold butcher's knife at their throats.
