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.

She asked Pei Yunmeng to create a Light-vented Bulbul Painting and arrange it in the Fengle Building.


Fengle Building, in Rouge Lane of Shengjing, was the favorite hangout for the city's wealthy merchants, a place for watching operas, drinking wine, resting, and buying pleasure...


Her sister had inadvertently entered this place because of Ke Chengxing and had also died there.
