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

Wei Miao raised his hand and knocked on the door of Uncle Xu's house.

"Come on, come on."

The voice was loud and energetic, it must be either Sister Gui or Aunt Xu.

The door opened and Wei Miao found the person in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen him before.

"Are you the youngster of the Wei family?"

The woman in the blue flowered jacket squinted her eyes, looked at Wei Miao for a moment, and clapped her hands.

Wei Miao looked up, "Aunt, you look familiar."

In fact, she recognized the woman. She lived next door to Uncle Xu's house. Every time she came to look for her uncle, she could always hear her shouting at home.

"Ala lives next door. My son Fudong loved playing with you when he was little."

The woman welcomed Wei Miao into the house with a smile, and Wei Miao also remembered who her son Fudong was.

During the days when Manyuyu was in trouble, the crowd called her a "traitor dog".

"I heard that your family opened a shop in the French Concession?" Fu Dong's mother asked enthusiastically.

Wei Miao saw her leading people into the house with ease and asked instead of answering:

"Where's my aunt?"

Fu Dong's mother slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me, what a fool I am. Your uncle has gone to work, and Miss Gui has been taken away by Miss Bai. I am left to look after your aunt. It's two dollars a month."

She explained everything clearly in a few words, and pointed with two fingers in her hand, looking very proud.

Two dollars was enough to cover the family's expenses for a month, but there were so many people rushing to do the cleaning and taking care of a mild-tempered pregnant woman.

She also benefited from being a neighbor of the Xu family. She was polite to the Xu family in the past and did not look down on them like those people.

That's why I got this good job close to home.

"Your aunt is still sleeping at this time. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."

Wei Miao had something on his mind, and didn't want to disturb the pregnant woman's rest, so he smiled and said:

"I just came by unexpectedly. When aunt wakes up, tell her that I was here and come to see her the next day."

Wei Miao reached into his pocket and took out the red envelope he had prepared in advance and placed it in Fu Dong's mother's hand.

"I'm in a hurry today. I only have time to wrap a red envelope. Please give it to my aunt and tell her that I wish her and the baby in her belly peace and health."

Fudong's mother looked at the red envelope in her hand, then at the empty yard, and was a little dazed.

This must be very urgent, they can't even wait for half an hour.

Suddenly I thought of the eldest son of the Wei family, who followed a nobleman and was extremely busy, and I secretly sighed that he had a good life.

"Mom, what are you holding in your hand?"

A young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked into the yard and saw his mother in a daze.

There was a conspicuous red envelope in his hand, and he walked forward and took it in his hand.

"What are you doing, little bastard?"

The frightened Fudong's mother glared and raised her hand to hit him.

Fu Dong squeezed the red envelope in his hand and said with a curled lip, "It's just a thin packet, so stingy."

Fu Dong's mother sneered, "Even if it's one dollar, it's earned by a kid of eleven or twelve years old. You're not as good as me."

Fu Dong curled his lips, "You praise him to bits every day, and she doesn't know anything about it."

Fu Dong's mother rolled her eyes in annoyance and said in a low voice:

"Who is this for? Her family moved to the French Concession, and their lives are getting better day by day. But you haven't forgotten what the Xu family was like when they first moved in, right? They went through something like that before, and now they're turning the page. Do you know why?"

Young people just feel that they don't like anything. Although they think what the grandmother said makes sense, they can't stand being servile.

"That's his ability, and you forgot the rumor that the Wei family kid followed Mr. Lu, who was a traitor."

After hearing this, Fudong's mother hit him hard and said, "Let you talk nonsense, let you talk nonsense."

Fudong ran away in panic, but after hearing about Lu Pingsheng's heroic deeds in the casino, he realized that he might have heard the rumors.

Such a legendary figure cannot possibly be a traitor.

After all, many people become traitors just for money. Mr. Lu is already so rich, why should he bear the stigma?

His mother's words were unpleasant to hear, but one thing she said was true: he was already eighteen years old and his future was bleak.

I heard from the Xu family that the Wei family is familiar with the people in the rickshaw business. My mother diligently takes care of the pregnant woman in the Xu family every day because she wants to ask for a rickshaw with low rent for him so that he can have a way out.

Wei Miaoke had no idea what the mother and son were planning. She took a rickshaw and bought what she wanted from several other clinics and pharmacies.

I even bought more than a dozen kinds of Chinese medicine.

Brother Lu said that Dr. Ding’s identity was not simple, and he might have some guesses about what she had bought.

After rushing around for an hour, she asked a rickshaw to take her to the door when she returned to the alley.

When carrying the things into the door, Wei Miao remembered that Grandma Cui’s scallion pancake shop was not open, and Xiao Jiangsu’s wonton shop next door was also closed.

This is a rare situation. Perhaps because of love, Wei Miao made a random guess and went into the basement.

She immediately raised her hand and touched the man's forehead, which was still burning hot. After she opened his mouth and fed him aspirin, she began to fiddle with some of the instruments she had used to study penicillin.

Put aside the production line that speeds up penicillin and synthesize a new drug using cherry-flavored isobutylene.

A good medicine that works better than aspirin, has a wide range of therapeutic effects and no side effects.

While Wei Miao was doing his research, Lu Pingsheng's troubles seemed to have been resolved.

However, Yukiko Matsui was a little overwhelmed.

"Yukiko, you need to focus more on salvaging underwater treasures."

Matsui Ryouta had a black eye patch on one of his eyes, and no emotion could be seen in his intact eye.

But Yukiko Matsui's body stiffened and she straightened up reflexively.

Since Matsui Ryouta injured his eyes and became the commander of the expeditionary force, he has become increasingly unpredictable.

Last night, Yukiko Matsui found Li Xiaoya again and asked her to recall what happened that day over and over again.

Li Xiaoya mentioned a detail that caught her attention.

It was the fact that Xu Manhua had an argument with Lu Pingsheng in the hall that made her feel very strange.

Xu Manhua didn't love Lu Pingsheng, so why would she be angry about his absurd behavior in France?

Looking back now, it was more like getting other people's attention.

It’s just that at that time, all her attention was on that arrogant little brat Louis.

If it weren't for Li Xiaoya's attention to Xu Manhua, I'm afraid this detail would have been overlooked.

Why does he want to attract people's attention?

As an agent, I doubt everything and it doesn't matter if I can't find the reason.

"But uncle, Lu Pingsheng is very suspicious. As long as we use the evidence against Xu's father to increase our efforts against Xu Manhua, we will definitely be able to find out..."

"Yukiko!"

Matsui Ryouta interrupted the slightly agitated girl.

"Now you just need to dig out the underwater treasure. The empire lost a hundred tons of gold on the ship and urgently needs a large amount of money to make up for this loss. I have already reported the Badaowan project you led to the cabinet. Do you understand the importance of this?"

Yukiko Matsui's pretty face became serious and she bent down to show that she understood.

"Lu Sang is just an insignificant staff member of the General Administration of Customs. Even if he is a spy, what intelligence can he get? Moreover, he has the support of the Aso family behind him and can bring money to the empire. Even if he is a spy, he can only be kept and guarded, and he will not be able to become a big deal."

Matsui Ryouta knew more than Matsui Yukiko. The fleet that Lu Pingsheng arranged was making such a huge profit that it was enviable.

All forces are making a lot of money. If something happens to him, the Gauls will be the first to disagree, and the local Green Gang will probably turn the world upside down.

"Unless we have very clear evidence, neither you nor I can do anything to Lu Sang in Shanghai, understand?"

He knew Yukiko Matsui's stubborn temper and gave the order directly.

In fact, he had something in his mind that he didn't say: even if there was evidence to prove that Lu Pingsheng was an agent, he couldn't be touched.

If he dies, I'm afraid this route will fall apart.

The endless flow of money was cut off.

Given the ruthlessness of the Aso family, can the weak Matsui family withstand their anger?

No!

Will the empire be better off if it loses a source of wealth?

will not!

Seeing her uncle's serious expression, Yukiko Matsui finally gave up.

"Uncle, the weather is getting colder, and people who go into the water to salvage are dying of illness every day. I'm afraid we'll have to take a large number of people to Badaowan this time."

Matsui Ryouta also felt a headache when he thought about the overwhelming number of disappearances in the newspapers.

"We can no longer secretly arrest strong Chinese. The Chinese police are already investigating the matter. The most important thing is that the Green Gang is also taking action. If it is exposed, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the empire."

Matsui Yukiko pondered for a moment and said:

"Uncle, the military police have detained a large number of anti-Japanese elements. Why don't we take them all away this time? I want to have a perfect result before the Chinese New Year."

Matsui Ryouta thought about it and said:

"Send those detained at the police station as well to speed up the process."

Yukiko Matsui finally smiled. She watched her uncle pick up the phone and wave to her before she bent down, bowed and left.
