Chapter 62 Possessed

When talking about the prosperity of the British Empire, even a beggar on the street would puff out his chest with pride.

This is an extremely contradictory and ironic statement. Although the achievements of the empire are impressive, they have nothing to do with more than 80% of the country's population——

They paid but got nothing in return.

Through Harrison's introduction, Lu Li learned that the most recent famine occurred two years ago, when thousands of people starved to death on the streets of London, and even tens of thousands of people rushed into bakeries and small restaurants——

Not to attack, but to find the bread of attack.

"Dude."

Jones put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder. He had a strong intuition that the other person was willing to help him and had the ability to do so.

"Have you ever been to the relief shelter?"

"Before dawn, countless poor people gathered there, waiting for the door to open. They were barefoot, and their toes were purple from the cold and had frostbite from enduring the cold in the streets for a long time."

"There are hungry, cold and crying children everywhere. Only half of a hundred children can live to be five years old."

A pair of eyes full of tears looked over.

It is hard to imagine that this deformed city full of greed actually has a spiritual mentor. He has just revealed his true identity——

Democratic Brotherhood Leader

Jones used his status to submit two petitions to Congress, with the names of three million adult male workers written on them, hoping that officials could come forward to solve the problem of monopoly and oppression so that everyone could enjoy power.

pity……

Nothing was exchanged for it.

This man of noble birth is willing to be a fighter who fights for all poor people, and is preparing to launch the third movement.

Tonight, the reason why I sneaked into the palace banquet was because I wanted to get to know a few capable people at a critical moment, so that everyone could speak out for the people at the bottom.

It's a pity that there are only three young people who have stopped to listen briefly. It is not yet known whether they are willing to join in and to what extent they can do so.

"I have never been to an orphanage, but I have seen how miserable women are. They endure moral condemnation while surrendering to survival, and finally end their lives in the double torture."

After speaking, Lu Li sighed.

Witch Taylor is proof that if there was no such damn world, she would not have died early, nor would she have crawled out of the abyss with resentment.

"So, are you willing to join us? The power of workers is really limited."

Legal expert Harrison's eyes were intense. He felt that it was definitely not simple for someone to become a general practitioner at such a young age and be recognized by such a violent institution as Scotland Yard.

Of course, he had to do this.

It is really incomprehensible that Jones, who has always been alert and rational, would be so hasty and reveal the secrets of the association to two people who are not familiar with him.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Li did not answer directly. Out of caution, he asked.

At this moment, his heart was more inclined to another word with Eastern poetic flavor:

rebel.

It’s true that the other person’s personality deserves respect, but does he have the courage?

In addition, whether the association has the ability to impact order and deal a heavy blow to those in power; if it fails, whether it can bear the consequences is also a big question.

This was a big deal, and he couldn't help but be careless. The more Pan Ming thought about it, the more he felt that it was reliable. Isn't the essence of the exam just to cause trouble?

If you can lead the people at the bottom, overturn all kinds of injustice and oppression, change the historical process of this parallel world, and wait until the final settlement...

Thinking of this, Pan Ming raised his eyes and looked at Jones. He hoped that the other party would be tougher. From the Congress to the nobles, to the capitalists, and most of the middle class, they would never agree to change the distribution of social resources and give the benefits to the poor.

.

"At the right time, I will gather a large number of workers and march to Whitehall to ask Congress to accept the petition." Jones said ambiguously.

Facts have proved that he still maintained a certain degree of vigilance and did not reveal too many secrets.

"The two failures haven't made you realize that you can't achieve your goal by marching."

Test each other, confide in each other, and on this basis, introduce the topic into more taboo areas.

To be honest, Lu Li felt that Pan Ming was a little unsteady, or in other words, impatient.

Subconsciously, he wanted to stop Pan Ming from continuing, but the fiery gazes of Jones and Harrison made Lu Li hold back.

"What do you think?"

At this moment, the answer is ready to come out.

Even the well-informed Harrison couldn't help but get excited. He knew that things were very hasty, but intuition trumped reason. He had talked too much about going to jail, so he hoped that the other party could also be more honest.

"Let every worker take up arms and prepare for battle."

Pan Ming was sure that the other party also had this idea, but he was not firm enough. If he asked why -

They met by chance in the market. The two of them criticized social injustice as if no one else was watching, and their words were passionate. They should not be hypocrites.

If the other party was able to foretell the situation beforehand, and when the world line, timeline, and causal line all changed, he could predict that this scene would definitely happen and plan for himself in advance, then Pan Ming felt that he had nothing to regret about being tricked.

"After the dinner is over, let's go out and talk. Many like-minded partners in the association have the same idea as you."

After the words fell, the four people stopped talking in unison and looked towards the foyer.

A large number of entourage wearing palace robes poured in, and someone in the crowd shouted:

"Your Highnesses, here they come."

Princess Alexandra and Princess Helena finally arrived, and instantly, the whole audience cheered.

When the Palace Minister of the Interior was delivering his speech, an episode occurred. Officer Wensley hurried over and asked in Lu Li's ear: "A spy said that you had been talking to those two people for a while?"

In the direction of his finger, stood Jones and Harrison. It seemed that they had been put on something like an official blacklist.

Of course, being able to enter the palace banquet can also explain some problems, so there is no need to mess up.

"Well, we briefly talked about the long-standing poverty problem in the East District. Three young people also attended. Mr. Jones hopes to get some donations to help those street children."

Wensley was skeptical about this rhetoric. He felt that Lu Li was a conscientious person who liked to enjoy life and would not engage in desperate acts. However, out of friendship, the police officer still solemnly reminded him: "Don't have anything to do with them."

If you have too many contacts, you might go to jail."

"Brother, I don't want to see you in New Gate Prison. You know, we have agreed to go to the suburbs to breathe fresh air and hunt by the way."

Friendship and morality are really tangled, but Lu Li already had a vague decision in his heart, so he nodded and made a few promises.

Immediately afterwards, a fashionably dressed nobleman raised his wine glass high and said loudly: "With a glass of wine, I would like to express my gratitude and respect to the two noble princesses."
