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

Du Changqing sneered, "Offering incense to Wen Quxing... It would be more useful for them to send a couple of silver notes to the chief examiner."


As soon as these words came out, the surroundings fell silent.


Lu Tong looked at Du Changqing while Official Hu was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, tremblingly pointing at Du Changqing, "What did you say?"


"Ah, those weren't my words; I heard them from someone else," Du Changqing leaned closer, lowering his voice, "I used to have a friend whose cousin was an even bigger fool than me, illiterate, yet he somehow passed the imperial exams with honors. After getting drunk one day, he let slip that he had bribed the grading examiner."
