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

Upon hearing this, Lu Tong paused in his movements.


Yin Zheng had already casually asked, "Really? Does Sister Song know which pawnshop they went to? We might as well try our luck there too; maybe we'll pick up something cheap, and find some good items."


Sister Song laughed upon hearing this, "Miss Yinzhen, there are good items indeed, but how could one easily pick them up for cheap? No matter how down on their luck the Ke Family might be, their clothes and accessories are still luxurious. I heard the items were taken to the Lu Yuan Pawnshop on Qinghe Street to the south of the city. Miss Yinzhen, if you want to have a look, you could indeed go there for the excitement."


Yin Zheng smiled and said, "Then when I have some free time, I'll definitely go and see."


After a bit more conversation, as the sun rose higher and more customers started filling West Street, the vendors all dispersed, and Yin Zheng placed the broom against the wall and went into the back shop.
