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

He gave Lu Tong a smile, "Doctor Lu, we meet again."


The old shopkeeper also recognized Pei Yunmeng, hurriedly squeezing out a smile, which was much more sincere than the one he offered Lu Tong earlier and even carried a tinge of fear, "Had I known this young lady was a friend of Lord Little Pei, how could I have accepted the young lady's silver? These three pieces of jewelry, the young lady should take them back as a gift from me as a first meeting."


He stretched out his hand, intending to push the silver back, but a hand pressed down on the silver ingot.


Pei Yunmeng leaned against the counter, and said indifferently, "Old gentleman, your shop is located on the expensive Qinghe Street in the south of the city, and since this is a small business, where would the question of you incurring expenses come from?"


He returned the old shopkeeper's previous words exactly, and the old shopkeeper's face stiffened.


Pei Yunmeng tapped his fingers on the table, "Please pack them up for her."
