Mountain Wanderer

Lu Tong spent seven years studying medicine in the mountains, but upon returning home, he found everything had changed.

His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

Lu Tong packed his medical kit and headed to the capital of Jingzhou.

'Debts must be repaid, and lives must be avenged!
'If there's no judge, then I'll be the judge from Hell!'

In the capital, noble families faced successive tragedies,
Commander Pei Yunxing quietly investigated the matter,
And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

Smiling Under Lanterns

She exchanged a few words with Lu Tong and then left with the Dong Family's carriage.


Du Changqing watched the carriage disappear and with a puzzled tone, said, "Whose family is that? They speak with quite the authority."


"The Dong Family of the Minister of the Imperial Treasury," she replied.


Hearing this, Du Changqing widened his eyes in surprise, "The Dong Family? The one with the consumptive youngest son? How did you get involved with them?"


Indeed, Du Changqing had been one of Shengjing's wealthy and idle young masters. He was well aware of the private secrets of the noble families.


Lu Tong looked towards the end of West Street, "If I remember correctly, the mature medicine department is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Imperial Treasury."


A thought struck Du Changqing, "You're thinking of..."


"Bullying by taking advantage of one's position, who doesn't know how to do that?" she said softly.
