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

After both of them disappeared, Wei Miao finally entered the room he had been longing for.

Whether it is the Orientals or the Japanese, there are only two ways to store gold and various valuables.

One is a safe, and the other is a dark room or secret compartment.

Wei Miao opened the large bookshelf with ease and found the place to store his valuables in a room of only a few square meters at the back.

"There aren't any gold bars."

Wei Miao was a little disappointed. Most of the things in the boxes were US dollars and French currency, as well as some banknotes of silver, but very little gold.

After knowing that this was a den of gold-selling built by the Japanese, Wei Miao understood why there were no gold bars.

Since the last incident of gold bars being lost on a ship, the mainland has issued a gold ban, requiring merchants and the public not to privately store gold bars, but to exchange them all for banknotes at the bank.

The common people were obedient, but they had no gold bars. The big businessmen were cunning and knew that gold was expensive in troubled times, so they were not very cooperative.

"The owner of this island is actually a fanatical patriot..." Wei Miao complained in his heart while absorbing the few remaining gold.

Looking at the boxes of US dollars and banknotes, she was wondering how to get them away. She could exchange them for a lot of gold on the black market or in Hong Kong Island.

It's a pity.

The gold-eating beast, who was having trouble swallowing gold and was in a bad mood, decided to do something big.

She went out quietly and headed in the direction Luan Qiaoling left.

Passing through pavilions and rockery, and passing through ambiguous and dark corridors with blue bricks and white walls, one can hear the sounds of women moaning and laughing, men talking loudly, gamblers spending huge amounts of money, and young boys and girls begging for mercy, all these sounds interweave into a music score called "luxury in troubled times".

Wei Miao stayed calmly under the window of a house and let go of the small green snake that was hissing at him.

"Go."

Watching the little green snake crawling into the window gap, Wei Miao silently counted to three, and then he heard the woman's scream.

"Ah! There's a snake! Gao Sang was bitten by a snake!"

Wei Miao curled his lips. It seemed that the voice of the oriole was like a hoarse gong due to being frightened, not even one-tenth as good as Xu Ayu's.

After the chaos, the island's doctor came over and made a diagnosis, "The poisonous snake bit the neck artery. You must go to the hospital immediately, otherwise..."

After hearing this diagnosis, Wei Miao felt relieved. He reached out and touched the little green snake that was spitting at him, then walked away.

The next target is the group of guys from the "Tongwen College" who have returned from various places.

A group of Japanese men in their teens to thirties were hugging the women beside them and making physical and verbal gestures.

The little devil named Seto was hugging two plump women, burying his head in their chests, howling like a ghost: "Mom~~"

The plump woman sang a gentle and sad tune in the gentle Japanese language, "Silent, silent, autumn in my hometown; in my backyard, the fruits on the trees fall at night; my mother and I cook chestnuts in the stove..." (Note 1)

She looked at the crowd of people having fun with a sad and desolate look, thinking of her son who was now nowhere to be found.

The enthusiasm she had when she left the empire had faded, and she was tired of selling her body to appease the men of the empire.

But she had to insist that for the sake of the imperial ideals, for the future of future generations, and for the emperor, she had to abandon her cheap personal emotions.

The gentle melody became tough and powerful, and the eyes of the woman singing the song became obsessed and crazy. In the end, there was only one fanatical belief in her heart:

She must be loyal to the emperor and the country!

As she was singing, she felt something move under her feet. When she looked down, she suddenly screamed.

Her scream seemed to turn on a switch, sobering up the men and women who were living a life of decadence.

"Oh my god, those damn ants!"

"Centipede, centipede is poisonous!"

"Ah, something got into my nostrils."

"My eardrum, my eardrum is broken."

The wailing of more than twenty men and women in the room naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The person who pushed the door open and saw the densely packed scene in front of him was so scared that he closed the door and ran away.

Just when everyone was in chaos, a surprisingly calm voice appeared.

"Go get the insecticide powder..."

"Light up all the lanterns, insects are afraid of fire..."

"Go in and pull everyone out..."

As she gave orders one after another, the panicked crowd gradually gained confidence, and in just a moment, all the screaming people inside were rescued.

Everyone who came out had various bugs on their bodies, and rats hanging on their legs and refusing to let go.

"What are you all standing there for? Sprinkle the powder!" As soon as the woman's unquestionable voice fell, the powder was thrown towards the group of people rolling on the ground.

This powder is extremely harmful to the eyes and respiratory tract. The wailing intensified and the scene became weird and cruel.

Wei Miao curled his lips at the edge of the crowd, how boring.

When she turned around and tried to leave, the woman in the crowd continued, "Notify the brothers, take out all the weapons, and increase vigilance."

Qiu Niang coldly withdrew her gaze from the crowd rolling on the ground, her brows furrowed.

The situation tonight was really weird. First, an important guest was bitten by a poisonous snake, and now a large number of insects and ants suddenly appeared, making her feel a little uneasy.

She needs to report to her superiors and get their opinions.

Wei Miao did not follow him, but found a figure in the crowd who was shouting for help.

When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged bald man, Seto and Reiko's teacher.

He was furiously directing the rescue efforts, but suddenly he thought of something and ran in one direction.

Everyone else was avoiding insects and ants to save people, so naturally no one noticed his abnormality.

Wei Miao followed him, and as the middle-aged man turned left and right, he entered a small courtyard that was guarded by someone. He stood outside a house with a closed door.

"Has anyone come in here?"

The man at the door responded respectfully, "Teacher, no one has ever come near."

The middle-aged man's tense expression relaxed, "It's not peaceful tonight, guard this place well."

"Hi!"

The two answered respectfully.

The middle-aged man was about to turn around and took two steps, but suddenly stopped, took out the key from his waist, and opened the locked door.

"Squeak!"

The heavy wooden door was opened, and the familiar house in front of him was like the mouth of a huge beast, making the frightened middle-aged man feel chills.

"I'll rest here tonight. Wake me up at dawn!"

"Hi!"

After the two finished their answers, all three of them were in a trance for a moment.

Wei Miao walked out of the darkness and, with the dim light from the corridor, he stepped sideways from behind the middle-aged man who was standing still and entered the house.

About thirty seconds later, the middle-aged man among the three shook his hairless head, muttered "damn it" and closed the door.
