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

Brother Lu bought more than a dozen houses in several alleys in this area.

In order to make it reasonable for her to stay here this time, I bought a few more sets at high prices yesterday.

Nowadays, more and more people are pouring into Shanghai. Just like now, a house can be divided into single rooms for rent, and a yard can be converted into twelve rooms. Each room costs five yuan per month, which means sixty yuan per month and seven hundred yuan per year.

Apart from the trouble of collecting rent, it is actually a business that is sure to make money.

"From now on, this will be your main job." Lu Pingsheng said.

Wei Miao understood what he meant. This underground secret room was really important. With this job, it would no longer be abrupt for her to travel between the two places.

In the evening, after the fragrance wafted from every household, Wei Miao and his companions had a hearty meal.

Although the food at the newly opened Fengrongyuan is not as exquisite as that at other restaurants, it is better in that the portions are large and filling.

After Wei Miao finished eating, he looked at the smart old monk who was eating vegetarian food alone at the main table, and said to Lu Pingsheng:

"Brother Lu, next time, take me to this temple to have a vegetarian meal. It looks like it will taste good."

"Little glutton!"

Yang Qiushi chuckled, and Laba next to him also looked at Wei Miao. Although he didn't grin, she could still make out the very faint smile in his eyes.

After dinner, Lu Pingsheng took out a box of ancient Buddhist books and placed it in front of Master Zhishang. The old monk did not hesitate at all and readily agreed to stay.

It is called: understanding the Buddhist Dharma.

Lu Pingsheng had a smug smile on his face. He turned around and saw Wei Miao with his hands on his hips, looking like he was going to settle a score with him.

"Isn't it true that you took the relics from it?"

Wei Miao felt guilty for a second, and then someone hit him on the forehead.

"Take your account book with you, and I'll let you experience the joy of being a landlord!"

Wei Miao obediently went to the study, took out the RV rental brochure that Lu Pingsheng had been struggling with for half the afternoon, and followed him.

Seeing the two people leaving, Yang Qiushi asked Laba who was staring at the door, "Do you want to go out too?"

Laba shook his head and nodded.

Yang Qiushi felt a little sorry, "How come this little kid can't even speak?"

Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng attracted a lot of attention when they went out.

The main thing is that Lu Pingsheng is wearing a Western suit, leather shoes, and a slicked-back hair, with a friendly smile on his face.

When she saw a familiar child, she grabbed a handful of candy from her bag and handed it to him.

"Brother Lu treated you to a meal."

Soon even the kids from next door came over.

A little girl with a runny nose took the candy and asked curiously, "Mr. Lu, are you getting married?"

Lu Pingsheng was surrounded by a group of children, "What do you mean?"

The child chirped, "Only wedding candies are given out to married people."

Lu Pingsheng bent down and pinched the child's red face. "The New Year is coming soon. We can eat wedding candy during the New Year."

When the children heard this, they felt it made sense.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

The children's pure gratitude filled with joy can soothe the restlessness in my heart.

The people in the alley saw Lu Pingsheng and greeted him with a smile.

When the new tenants heard the introduction and realized that this was their landlord, they often smiled politely.

Wei Miao stared at the bag of candies in Lu Pingsheng's hand and wanted to curl his lips, but Lu Pingsheng stuffed a chocolate in his hand.

"How many candies do you need?"

The rich chocolate flavor spread in his mouth. Wei Miao swallowed the delicious taste and said:

"Is this also brought by our fleet?"

Lu Pingsheng bent down and put a handful of candy into the pocket of a small boy who was squeezed in among a group of children.

Seeing her smiling face showing her small teeth, he rubbed her dry and yellow hair, then straightened his waist and said to Wei Miao:

"These are all kinds of European and American candies that Durand found the candy makers to bring. I have already left a lot for you."

Seeing the little boy pursing his lips and revealing his dimples, Lu Pingsheng broke out in a cold sweat.

There weren't many people at the Little Jiangsu Wonton stand. Seeing that every child had one, Lu Pingsheng smiled at him and said,

"Come to your house tomorrow morning to eat wontons, as usual."

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Xiao Jiangsu said loudly: "Okay, more lard and less chopped green onions."

The people around him heard this and said to Xiao Jiangsu: "Xiao Jiangsu, we want to add lard, why don't you agree?"

Little Jiangsu said confidently: "How can you compare with Mr. Lu?"

The person who spoke was also an old resident, and he was not angry when he heard this.

"That's true. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, my family would have died."

The new people who moved in didn’t know about the infectious disease and asked what was going on.

Everyone talked about the incident of closing the alley.

After hearing this, the tenants looked at Lu Pingsheng with different eyes.

Mr. Rong, who was sitting in the room, said with a smile: "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Mr. Lu is indeed righteous!"

A middle-aged man in a long gown sitting opposite him agreed, "In the face of national crisis, if everyone is like him, there is no need to worry about not being able to drive away wolves and tigers."

A group of little kids followed Lu Pingsheng, but he pricked up his ears to listen to all kinds of discussions in the crowd, not only adults but also children.

Suddenly his eyes became slightly solemn as he looked at one of the two tables in the Xiao Jiangsu Wonton Shop.

"Takahashi Eiichi, 33 years old, a special agent of Inoue Mansion in Japan."

"Pang Qingyun, 28 years old, a member of the Manchukuo Imperial Guard Infantry Regiment."

If Wei Miao hadn't reminded him, he would have been surprised to suddenly see people from Inoue Mansion here.

But this guy named Pang Qingyun is quite interesting. According to records in previous lives, the last emperor had a well-trained guard composed of Manchu and Mongolian warriors, all of whom were good at fighting ten people at the same time.

Now, seeing Pang Qingyun, who was eating wontons in a gentle and polite manner in a long gown, he did not have any fierce temperament at all.

"Ah Miao, let's go collect the rent!"

Lu Pingsheng spoke in a neither loud nor soft voice and walked towards the entrance of the alley first.

After all the fancy moves just now, I was able to identify two that are particularly noteworthy just by listening to the sounds.

I wonder how many talented people can be heard collecting rent from every household behind.

Wei Miao followed Lu Pingsheng, knocking on doors from house to house to collect rent and write lists.

"This form is very clear. It shows clearly what the family does and how many people there are. Who are you looking for?"

Having gained a lot, Lu Pingsheng was in neither good nor bad mood.

He was now very sure that he was being targeted.

In addition to the people from Inoue Mansion and the Imperial Guards, our party and Jinling are also targeting him, and the Qing Gang seems to be keeping an eye on him as well.

"When you are famous, you are prone to gossip." After being enthusiastically escorted out of the yard, Lu Pingsheng sighed.

Wei Miao sorted the money he received and put it in the bag that Lu Pingsheng had used to hold his candy.

Looking at the bulging bag, Wei Miaoyou felt mixed feelings of worry and joy. It was just an alley and it could no longer hold all the things.

"Ah, a dead person!"

As the two men walked towards the entrance of the alley leading to Dr. Ding's house, they heard a scream.

Then I saw Fudong's mother holding a bottle of soy sauce and shouting with horror.

In the dim alley at sunset, the others were attracted by her scream and looked towards the small shop at the intersection.

Under the dim light, the shop owner was tied to a chair with a knife stuck in her chest, and the shop was in a mess.

"I came to buy soy sauce, and found that the store was closed early in the morning. I thought about coming at noon, but the door was still closed at noon, so I came to check at night, and I saw a stray dog ​​sneaking in through the crack of the door. There was a light in the house, so I pushed the door open and took a look..."

Fudong's mother was supported by someone she knew, and she spoke in tears and intermittently about the horrific scene she had just seen.
