I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Yukiko Matsui, who had just changed her clothes and packed up to leave, looked at her subordinates with bruised faces and noses at the door in disbelief.

"Were you beaten?"

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more of them. Someone even dared to openly beat up people from the Special High Technology Department.

Jiangkou Yi Ze's cheeks were red and swollen, one of his eyes was bruised, and his arm was dislocated. It was really miserable.

"Seto-kun was beaten so badly that he has been sent to the hospital."

Jiangkou Yi Ze was also very angry. He didn't expect those people to start fighting over a disagreement.

The police were ignored and even showing their Special High Technology Team credentials was useless; instead they were beaten even more severely.

Matsui Yukiko listened to her subordinates' exaggerated story and said with a gloomy face:

"So, not only did you fail to catch that brat Wei Miao, but you also got beaten up by a bunch of ronin?"

Eguchi Izawa didn't dare to lie, "The nephew of Staff Officer Yoshida of the Expeditionary Army General Staff was also among them."

Matsui Yukiko laughed angrily, "I will report this matter to the section chief and ask him to go to the General Staff Headquarters for accountability. As for you, go to the hospital first and take a vacation until your injury heals."

Jiangkou Yize cursed in his heart, what accountability? Those people in the General Staff Headquarters are all elites who returned from studying abroad in the West. They are all arrogant and have terrible tempers.

Not to mention the section chief, even Commander Matsui, Yukiko Matsui's uncle, would probably only say a few insincere words.

Seeing that Matsui Yukiko was about to leave, Jiangkou Yizawa hurriedly said: "Ms. Yukiko, as for Wei Miao... I heard that her family lives in the French Concession. If all else fails, we should start with her family..."

Matsui Yukiko turned her head and gave this stubborn subordinate a strange look, "Eguchi-kun, you should be more worried about how to explain to Lu Sang now."

"Ms. Yukiko, every time an accident occurs, Lu Pingsheng, a non-Imperial person, is present. This is very suspicious."

Ordinary people need evidence to raise suspicion, but secret services do not.

As long as you have suspicions, arrest, interrogate and torture them first, and you will always get evidence.

As for being wronged, you deserve it. I hope you will be born into a better life in your next life!

But there are exceptions to everything, such as Lu Pingsheng.

Yukiko Matsui learned from her uncle that Lupin was making some kind of deal with powerful local nobles.

The amount is so huge that it can pay for the entire navy’s military expenses for one month.

Who dares to touch such a person?

Even if he is an anti-Japanese element, no one will pursue him as long as he can still bring endless wealth to the boss.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Lu Pingsheng is a pure speculator who only cares about money and not people, and has no sense of national justice!

"Don't investigate Lu Sang's affairs anymore. I advise you not to touch the kid next to him. The deputy chief inspector of the French Concession has a close relationship with the kid. I don't want to have to go to the French Concession police station to pick you up later."

Seeing that Eguchi Isawa looked puzzled, Matsui Yukiko was kind enough to say a few more words.

Seeing that he was about to argue again, Yukiko Matsui waved her hand and started to leave.

There was a sinister flash in Jiangkou Yizawa's eyes.

He would not surrender, for the sake of the empire, for the sake of the emperor.

He must prove that he is right and make great contributions before he can gain a firm foothold in the Special High Technology Department.

Instead of bowing down to this disabled girl who is still wet behind the ears.

Wei Miao, who was sitting on the rickshaw, had an extremely gloomy face.

If she hadn't had good hearing and hadn't been always paying attention to what was happening next door, she would have been caught this time.

When Shizuka brought Wang Dongting, who was dressed as Hizen Matahachi, into the box, she had already thought about how to escape from peeing.

Anyway, they each hugged a woman and were annoyed that she, a half-grown child, was in the way.

While these perverts were in high spirits, she quietly left the pub through the back door.

I don’t know what Brother Lu is doing now?

This group of people wanted to attack her, and it was obvious that they were already suspicious of Brother Lu.

Many things seem perfect, but in fact they cannot stand up to scrutiny.

Every time something happens, you, a traitor, are always there at the scene, it's hard not to arouse suspicion.

"Young Master, it costs an extra 8 cents to go to Huajie."

When they arrived at a sparsely populated area, the rickshaw driver spoke in a simple and honest voice.

Wei Miao came back to his senses, "Why is the price going up again?"

This might be the first time for the rickshaw driver to charge extra money at the last minute, so he was a little nervous.

"The Japanese are now strictly controlling the situation, and the price for Chinese to apply for entry and exit permits has doubled."

Wei Miao once again felt that the Japanese were greedy, but he didn't say anything.

"As the New Year is approaching, prices are skyrocketing. Not only has the price of rice and flour doubled, but even the price of cotton cloth has skyrocketed."

Wei Miao knew that prices fluctuated around the Spring Festival every year.

This was the umpteenth time Wei Miao had heard the word cotton cloth during this period of time.

“What does crazy growth mean?”

The rickshaw driver started talking, "The money I used to buy a set of clothes last year can only buy me a pair of socks this year."

"Is there a shortage of cotton in Shanghai?"

This news was a bit new to Wei Miao, who had just returned a few days ago.

Then she thought of the time when they were in Hong Kong Island, when Brother Lu bought all the cotton yarn orders from Mr. Hu, but it was not enough, so he asked people to buy a lot of cotton yarn in Southeast Asia and other places. . .

Could it be that he knew that cotton yarn prices were going to go up?

"I don't know. I heard from a worker in our alley who works at the stock exchange that someone is looking to buy cotton yarn. It's in great demand."

Cotton Yarn Exchange, Wei Miao's nerves moved slightly, isn't this just futures stocks?

When her second aunt bought treasury bonds, she was also wildly bullish on the price. As a result, she bought them at high prices and the market fell into the bottom, and her family was ruined.

At that time, she was somewhat curious about this method of making money, but unfortunately, the hungry cub was not qualified to take advantage of it.

The current trend is so similar to that of a few years ago. Wei Miao smelled a conspiracy while also feeling the opportunity to make a fortune.

She decided to take out a portion of the gold in the vault and let Brother Lu go long or short.

Making money from ordinary people is meaningless and makes one feel guilty, but making money from the masterminds behind the scenes not only brings gold but also national destiny.

She loves it!

Thinking of this, Wei Miao's brows suddenly relaxed and he felt very happy.

When I got off the rickshaw at the entrance of Juhuali Alley, I generously refused to ask for change from the rickshaw driver.

"Ah Miao?"

Wei Miao was just putting his little hands to his mouth and blowing on them when he heard a familiar voice.

When she turned her head, she saw Cui Lijuan, who was wearing a mink coat, looking at her with surprise.

"Sister Lijuan," Wei Miao called out.

Standing next to Cui Lijuan was a handsome man in his thirties.

"Zhu Qi, this is my little neighbor."

Cui Lijuan finished speaking and introduced Wei Miao with a smile:

"Ah Miao, this is Brother Zhu, my former classmate."

Wei Miao blinked and called out obediently, "Hello, Mr. Zhu."

She rarely saw Cui Lijuan since she was arrested and imprisoned with her last time and then went to the hospital.

The people around Cui Lijuan are in their thirties, well-dressed, with expensive leather shoes and valuable watches on their wrists.

It is really weird that such a person is Cui Lijuan's classmate.

According to Grandma Cui, Cui Lijuan was very smart and did very well in her studies since she was young. However, when she was in high school, she suddenly didn't want to go to school anymore and refused to answer any questions.

When she got anxious, she ran away from home, and when she came back, she became a Cinderella dancer.

"Little boy, are you from the Japanese Concession?" Zhu Qi said in a gentle tone, speaking with a standard northern accent.

"How did Mr. Zhu know?" Wei Miao widened his round eyes, looking very innocent and harmless.
