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 remembered that Minister Shen was full of ambition and loved to make connections everywhere, which was quite incongruent with the hustling figure now busy at a street stall.


Shen Fengying rubbed his hands, walked under the colorful canopy in front of his stall, and invited Lu Tong and Pei Yunmeng to sit down at a small table. He poured each of them a cup of mung bean water and grabbed a handful of spiced peanuts, then straddled a small stool to sit.


"That thing at Fengle Building, you should know about," Shen Fengying popped a peanut into his mouth, "The fire at Fengle Building, the incident with Young Master Qi of the Grand Preceptor's family, to be honest, I was the first to discover it."


Lu Tong exchanged a glance with Pei Yunmeng.


Unaware, Shen Fengying just patted his chest, his tone proud, but with his soot-dusted face, the pride also revealed a hint of pity.
