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

When Wei Miao and Lu Pingsheng returned home, the old monk was touching Laba's bones.

Yang Qiushi was standing by and watching anxiously.

"This child must have taken some secret medicine that prevents him from growing taller. His bones have already closed."

Lu Pingsheng and Wei Miao looked at each other, obviously remembering the Western medicine expert who had taken Laba to see before.

He also said that Laba had been injected with a substance that could inhibit growth, so even if it grew, it would not be very tall.

Yang Qiushi was a man of rough but delicate mind. He laughed at the old monk's words for a long time before muttering:

"how come?"

Laba looked up and saw Wei Miao and the others, and trotted over to them.

Lu Pingsheng and the old monk went into the room to see the patient.

Wei Miao turned his head to meet Laba's clear eyes and lifted the bulging bag.

"Laba, come and do some serious work with me."

Yang Qiushi watched the two children enter the room and sighed heavily.

After Wei Miao entered the room, he poured the money in the bag onto the carpet.

"Let's count the money and exchange it for gold. I'll leave one for you to use in your old age."

Laba Xuewei Miao sat down on the carpet and began to separate the dollars and legal tender according to the amounts.

Wei Miao looked at the scattered coins and for the first time experienced the feeling of counting money until his hands were tired.

There are thirteen houses in total, with more than one hundred tenants, and each tenant pays sixty thousand dollars a year, which is a huge sum of money.

According to Brother Lu, he plans to build dozens more houses like this in this area.

Wei Miao asked him curiously, if the world is not stable, why did he want to buy the house at a high price?

There was a hint of sadness in Lu Pingsheng's cynical smile, "They can only rent houses in the concession if they pay high prices. From now on, I can just lie down and collect rent."

Wei Miao thought about the house that Lu Pingsheng lived in now, which he bought from Aunt A Xiu's house at a high price.

Lu Pingsheng felt relieved when he saw the boatman sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed.

The old monk put his hands together and said, "He will wake up tomorrow morning at the latest, and I will be away for a while after he wakes up."

Lu Pingsheng's gaze lingered on the old monk's aged face, and he remembered that the old monk had left for a while after he saved Xu Ayu last time.

I guess I have to go to the previous temple to restore my health.

"What do you need me to do?" Lu Pingsheng asked guiltily.

The old monk took away the box of Buddhist books that Lu Pingsheng had asked him to read without any hesitation.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Cui from the intersection has brought someone to your door."

As soon as Lu Pingsheng got up and walked to the hall, Yang Qiushi came to report.

Cui Lijuan and her fiancé Zhu Qi.

"please come in."

Lu Pingsheng walked towards the sofa in the living room, and just as he sat down, the person outside the door came in.

The man Cui Lijuan was holding was not tall, but he had a handsome face and his every move showed a certain generosity.

I guess it is the Zhu Qi that Wei Miao mentioned.

But there were three people following them, namely Takahashi Eiichi, a secret agent from Inoue Mansion, Pang Qingyun, the Manchurian emperor's guard, and a young woman wearing a cheongsam and fur.

"Mr. Lu, my fiancé and I came uninvited. Sorry to bother you."

Cui Lijuan's politeness was mixed with a hint of uneasiness. She had no choice but to bring Kawasaki to visit Lu Pingsheng because she couldn't persuade him any more.

But when she was at the door, she unexpectedly met these three people, so she had to distance herself from them first.

Lu Pingsheng had a bright smile on his face. "Sister Lijuan, you are too polite. We are all neighbors. I should have been the one to visit Grandma Cui, but I just got back and I have so many things to do."

When talking about her mother, Cui Lijuan's expression relaxed a little. "My mother knew that Nong and A Miao had returned today, and she kept saying that she would make scallion pancakes herself tomorrow morning."

Yang Qiushi served tea to everyone one by one. Lu Pingsheng motioned for them to drink tea, then he said sincerely and happily:

"That's great. These days in Hong Kong Island, I always miss Grandma Cui's scallion pancakes before dinner time."

Cui Lijuan felt someone pulling her, and understood what was going on. She took out the invitation she had prepared in advance and said, "Mr. Lu, we will hold the wedding at Richard Hotel in three days. We have only invited relatives and friends. If you and Ah Miao are free, please come."

Lu Pingsheng took the wedding invitation and said with a smile: "Congratulations, it's a surprise today. I will reply to you tomorrow while eating scallion pancakes."

Zhu Qi sighed in his heart. After all, Cui Lijuan had been a dancer for a long time, and she was still a little petty when she went on stage.

Since entering the door, I have not introduced him to the person in front of me.

Why did he suddenly change his mind and marry a dancer? Wasn't it just to have a legitimate identity to stay in Shanghai?

More importantly, through Cui Lijuan, he can get close to Lu Pingsheng, a prominent figure in Shanghai.

"Mr. Lu, my name is Zhu Qi, and I'm in charge of importing goods at Sifang Foreign Trade Company."

The moment he opened his mouth, the image of "Kawasaki Michiichi, 30 years old, special agent of the Manchurian Railway Intelligence Department" appeared before Lu Pingsheng's eyes.

It turns out that he is a Manchurian.

This biggest tool for invading China includes agencies in many special fields such as politics, military, and intelligence.

By controlling the railways, control of the Kanto region and plunder of its resources were achieved.

He was directly involved in the September 18th Incident, and in the following years provided a large amount of military and political intelligence for the established Manchukuo to control the Northeast.

This Mei Agency has to be polite to the Third Division Agency, and actually sent people to Shanghai?

Lu Pingsheng shook hands with Zhu Qi calmly, "Mr. Zhu is young and promising, and he married the most beautiful girl in our alley, which is very enviable."

The other two people congratulated Zhu Qi with a smile, and the young woman in fur also said to Cui Lijuan that she was very blessed.

The atmosphere was instantly lively.

Mr. Rong bowed to Lu Pingsheng and said, "I came to the alley to hear about Mr. Lu's good deeds. Today, I saw Mr. Lu as usual and couldn't sleep at night. I came to his house rashly. In fact, I wanted to do an exclusive interview for Mr. Lu."

After Mr. Rong finished speaking, he took out his press card and mentioned the newspaper where he worked. He then looked at Lu Pingsheng calmly.

Lu Pingsheng waved his hand quickly, "It's just a small favor, no need to make a big report about it."

Mr. Rong saw the smug look in Lu Pingsheng's eyes and cursed him in his heart for being hypocritical, saying that he was indeed a fame-seeking person.

I heard from the maid at home that he brought a monk from outside, but no one knew what he was going to do.

If Wei Miao knew that Lu Pingsheng's family was being targeted, he would have thought that it was very stupid for him to separate from Master Zhishang.

"I have an old friend at home these days, so I'm afraid I won't be free. How about we make an appointment when we're free?"

Among the group of people in front of him, Lu Pingsheng felt that the seemingly harmless and smiling Inoue Mansion agent was the most dangerous.

After listening to this, Mr. Rong nodded slightly and said, "Wait for good news."

Pang Qingyun saw that everyone was looking at him, so he straightened his gown, stood up, bowed to Lu Pingsheng and said:

"My name is Pang Qingyun. I came here today to thank Mr. Lu for his kindness. The house is in good condition and the rent is low, which provides a place for people like me to live. I also want to rent a yard from Mr. Lu so that I can bring my brothers who want to make a living here with me."

Lu Pingsheng looked at the polite Pang Qingyun and found it hard to associate him with the legendary Imperial Guards.

Can a physique like this help him fight ten people at once?

And the adventurous brothers he mentioned, could they be other guards?

What is the emperor going to do in Shanghai? It is not enough to have Zeng Baoshu as an adviser, but he also wants to place people with extremely strong military power?

Does this matter have anything to do with Uncle Zeng Bao?

"It just so happens that I have a few more houses recently. I'll ask around tomorrow. If there are any good ones, Mr. Pang, you can pick them first."

Pang Qingyun bowed and expressed his gratitude.

The only one who didn't speak was the young woman in fur. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she chuckled and said:

"Mr. Lu, I would like to ask you to help me make the connection."

Seeing Lu Pingsheng looking at her doubtfully, Luan Qiaoling smiled and said:

"My husband wants to buy a yard and has set his sights on the house diagonally opposite Mr. Lu's. I heard that Mr. Lu is familiar with the owner, so I came here to ask you to help ask the owner if he is willing to give it up."

Are you attracted to Wu Ziyang's house?

"Luan Qiaoling, 19 years old, a leading actress at the Dongqing Theater."

Lu Pingsheng looked at the two women and three men in front of him and suddenly felt that there was a sense of drama.

The stage is his home, and everyone here, except this actress, has a script.

Perhaps the person who wants to buy a house behind this actress also has a big drama to perform.
