Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Fang Duobing: "I can't wait to taste it."

Ivy: "This is a secret recipe. The fish is grilled, everyone have a taste."

Fang Duobing picked it up and took a bite: "Delicious, delicious! I've never eaten such fragrant fish before."

Li Lianhua took a bite: "It tastes really good, and makes you want to eat more."

Ivy ate the fish with a smile, and even shared one with the fox spirit and one with Xiao Qi.

After dinner, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing sat at the table drinking and chatting.

Ivy sat on the roof of the Lotus Pavilion, holding a glass of red wine, gazing at the night sky, and marveling at this leisurely life.

A few days later, in an inn, Ivy and Li Lianhua were sitting by the window chatting and drinking tea.

Fang Duobing walked in from outside: "Guess what I just saw when I went out?"

Ivia: "What?"

Li Lianhua's gaze also turned to him. Seeing the thirst for knowledge on their faces, Fang Duobing raised his head and said, "Yuanbao Manor is offering a lot of money for medical treatment. Do you think we should go and take a look? We can earn some living expenses!"

Now that he's out, his family hasn't given him any money. He earns his living by solving cases, and his master occasionally treats patients and sells vegetables. Of course, his master's wife brings her own wealth.

He continued, "We can't just sit around and do nothing."

Ivy: "It depends on whether your master goes or not; he knows medicine."

Although I could do it myself, since Li Lianhua could, I let him do it.

Li Lianhua smiled at her and asked, "Would you like to go and take a look?"

Ivia thought of the Yuanbao Manor case and casually nodded, "Sure, we're just passing by anyway."

Fang Duobing: "Yes, Master, let's go!"

Seeing that both of them wanted to go, Li Lianhua nodded, "Okay."

At the entrance of Yuanbao Manor, the three of them brought Xiao Qi here. They didn't bring the fox spirit; they left her to guard the house.

The guard saw them and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Li Lianhua: "We have taken down the medical request notice because we are here for treatment. Please inform them that Li Lianhua is requesting an audience."

Hearing the commotion, Butler Jin came out and said to Fang Duobing, "Are you the miracle doctor who can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, Li Lianhua?"

Fang Duobing pointed at Li Lianhua: "It's not me, it's my master, and the one next to her is my master's wife."

Butler Jin looked at Li Lianhua with a questioning gaze.

Li Lianhua: "It is indeed me, this is my assistant, and this is my wife."

Butler Jin bowed to the group and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. We happen to have some renowned physicians with us. We can have tea and discuss medical techniques with them."

When they got inside, they saw that there were still several people there.

One was Gongyang Wumen, a doctor with no access to medicine; the other was Jian Lingxiao, a doctor known for his eccentricities.

Li Lianhua also spoke up: "My name is Li Lianhua."

A man standing nearby, upon hearing him speak, said, "So you're Li Lianhua, the legendary master of the Lotus Pavilion, who's said to be able to heal the dead and restore flesh to bones? You don't look all that impressive!"

Li Lianhua: "I only have a little bit of basic medical knowledge."

Butler Jin introduced: "This is the legendary physician known in the martial arts world as the 'Divine Needle of the Swallow,' Guan Hemeng."

Li Lianhua: "Brother Guan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Guan Hemeng nodded, glancing past Fang Duobing and looking at Ivy.

"Who is this?"

Li Lianhua: "Oh, this is my wife."

Guan Hemeng: "Your wife is quite special."

Ivia nodded at him without saying anything.

Xiao Qi said cheekily, "Host, this Su Xiaoyong is your love rival!"

Ivy: "I'm already married to Li Lianhua, so she can't be considered a rival in love."

Li Lianhua knew she didn't like interacting with people: "Madam is not good with words, please forgive her."

Guan Hemeng: "It's alright. You two seem to be a good match, with complementary personalities."

Li Lianhua smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Guan."

Fang Duobing: "Of course, do you even need to tell me?"

Guan Hemeng: "Who are you?!"

Fang Duobing: "This is my master and mistress. Who do you think I am?"

Guan Hemeng: "He's just a lackey!"

Just as Fang Duobing was about to argue, Li Lianhua stopped him, saying, "We're here to do serious business."

Fang Duobing snorted at Guan Hemeng and then fell silent.

Once inside, they met Jin Mantang, the owner of Yuanbao Manor.

He meant that he wanted them to find out who wrote the blackmail letter and protect him from being poisoned.

“If you all help me, Jin, get through this crisis, I, Jin, will certainly not treat you unfairly.”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to a small pile of gold placed to the side.

Everyone's eyes turned to the small pile of gold ingots he was pointing to, and they remarked that he was indeed spending a lot of money to seek medical treatment.

So everyone settled down at Yuanbao Villa.

Xiao Qi: "Host, Shan Gu Dao is gone. Wan Sheng Dao is gone, and Zong Zheng Ming Zhu has also disappeared!"

Ivia nodded: "Yes, there are definitely far fewer troubles now!"

The next morning, Li Lianhua and the other two had just finished breakfast and went outside when they heard Butler Jin's voice.

"master!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lianhua said, "Let's go take a look."

Ivy and Fang Duobing followed, and they arrived at Master Jin's room, where the others were already inside.

Fang Duobing stepped forward: "What happened?"

Butler Jin said, "I discovered early this morning that the master was missing; he was nowhere to be found."

Li Lianhua: "It's not in this room, could it have gone out?"

Butler Jin: "After the master returned to his room last night, I haven't seen him go out again."

Fang Duobing: "If we're still in this room, Butler Jin, is there any secret room here?"

Butler Jin: "This, I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Duobing looked around. Li Lianhua walked to the table and looked at the comb on it.

“Master Jin is known for his extravagant spending, so why would he keep a comb with broken teeth?”

Ivia: "There should be a secret room; this looks like the key to it."

Fang Duobing took the comb to the bookshelf and found the mechanism, opening the door to the secret room.

Li Lianhua said to Aivia, "Let's go in and take a look."

Ivia nodded, and the two of them went inside first, followed by the others.

Upon entering, everyone saw two corpses on the ground, and Butler Jin rushed over first.

"Master, master, please, all you divine healers, save our master!"

Everyone could see that Master Jin was no longer breathing. They went inside to look at another corpse.

Butler Jin: "It's Dong Ling."

Fang Duobing: "Jin Lingjian Dong Ling, what's he doing here!"

Li Lianhua said, "Let's see how they died first."

“Master Jin was strangled to death. There was no poisoning or external injury,” Jian Lingxiao said after examining the body.

Li Lianhua looked at the arrows on the ground and picked them up.

"This arrow is poisoned!"

Gongyang Wumen walked over and said, "Let me take the test."

Fang Duobing: "How are you?"

Ivia didn't watch with them. She said to Xiao Qi, "Go and see where the crumbs of steamed bun Dong Ling ate are."

Xiao Qi nodded and circled around the boxes.

Gongyang Wumen detected the poison on the arrow, and everyone guessed that Dong Ling must have strangled Master Jin.
