Two years later, Long Yang was eleven years old.

Eleven-year-old Long Yang is nearly 1.7 meters tall, his handsome face reveals fortitude, and his slightly thin body is full of strength.

Within two years, Long Yang had mastered the various knowledge and skills of Professor Jin Shan, and obtained the true inheritance of Jin Shan. Although two years have passed, Long Yang has not forgotten several important things in his heart. The bizarre death of his father Long Shaoyun, the suspicion of Teacher Zhou Lan's death, and the family curse of the old patriarch.

Two years is not a long time, but Jin Shan is getting older and older, and he is talking less and less. He seemed to be looking into something, often muttering alone, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head. Until one day, Jin Shan called Long Yang to his side and told Long Yang some unknown secrets.

"Longyang, the old man has never been married in his life and has no children under his knees, are you willing to recognize me as your father-in-law?"

"Master, this"

Long Yang couldn't understand and accept Jin Shan's proposal for a moment, and looked at the old man in front of him in a daze.

"Why, you dislike me as a bad old man?"

"No, Master. I'm going to ask you if your name is your father-in-law, isn't that a difference in seniority? I should have asked my mother first to see what she thinks. ”

"You don't have to ask Jin Qin, I've already talked to her."

"Oh, the Father is above, and the Son is worshipped!"

Long Yang immediately knelt in front of Jin Shan and kowtowed respectfully.

"Good, good, good."

Jin Shan shouted three good words one after another, and was bowed down by Long Yang, his eyes were filled with tears, and he wiped his excited old tears with his sleeve.

"Since you worship me as your father-in-law, you can tell you some things, and it doesn't violate the rules of the clan."

Jin Shan pulled Long Yang up, took Long Yang's hand dotingly, and let Long Yang sit beside him.

"I am the son of an old patriarch."

What the?!

Jin Shan turned out to be the son of the old patriarch, Long Yang looked at Jin Shan with wide eyes in shock, he couldn't believe his ears. What's going on? What's the situation, although Long Yang knows that Jin Shan is a person with secrets, but now he doesn't seem to know the old man in front of him.

"Don't be surprised, listen to me carefully. Our family is a cursed family, and since we moved here, we have been cursed to live without a body and die. It was because of this curse that when I was a child, I was sent by my father to foster care at the home of a distant friend, far away from Jin Village. My father hoped that I would be able to avoid this curse after I left Jin Village, but it backfired. When I was 20 years old, my father's friend was killed in a bizarre fire. My father was in pain and remorseful, and I returned to Jin Village. But my father still didn't recognize me, and I didn't recognize him. ”

Jin Shan looked up at the distance beyond the mountain, his mind was full of memories, and the departed people kept appearing in front of him.

"Because of this incident, I decided not to marry and have children, so that this curse will not continue."

Jin Shan looked at Long Yang, and then said, "You don't have to worry, you are just a righteous son, without our bloodline, the curse will not happen to you." ”

"Father-in-law, it has not been easy for you all these years, Longyang will honor you well."

"Good boy."

"Father-in-law, how have you spent all these years on the mountain?"

"Haha, it's not bitter to say that it's hard, let's take pleasure in it, and it's also chic and comfortable. In the year after I returned, my father approached me and gave me a family heirloom, and I spent the rest of my life immersed in the study of this book. The content I have given you is only the basic knowledge recorded in the first volume of this book, and you will still have to learn it later. ”

After speaking, Jin Shan took out a book wrapped in cloth from his arms, the side of the book was damaged, but it was neat.

"Detective Minutes", this book is a record of the knowledge required for detectives and the trial experience of various cases, in addition to recording some bizarre cases.

"Now I will pass on this book to you, you must study it well and keep it properly."

"Yes, father-in-law."

Long Yang took the book carefully, didn't look at it immediately, held the book in his arms, and pressed it again and again.

It's not that Long Yang doesn't want to read it, he wants to read the content of the book as if he is scratching his claws, but now he still has important things to figure out, and he still has to listen to Jin Shan continue.

"You are very good, people should be curious, but not impulsive, you can stabilize your mind and not rush to read, which means that you quit curiosity." Jin Shan nodded with satisfaction.

"Father-in-law, don't praise me too much, I will be proud."

"It's not that I'm complimenting you, like you can master these skills in two or three years, it means that you are already a genius. With these skills in you, you can initially have the qualifications of a practitioner. ”

"Really? Hee-hee. ”

"Why do you have books like this in your family? And how do you know so much about ghost-eyed people? ”

"I didn't know about it before, but after so many years of inquiry, I also have a little eyebrows."

The doubts in Long Yang's heart are also Jin Shan's questions for many years, decades have passed, Jin Shan finally understands something, and he doesn't mind telling Long Yang about this, because Long Yang is now his righteous son.

"Since my father died, I often went to the ancestral house and found some books and clues about the origin of the family in it, and I will tell you about it." Jin Shan opened the wine jug, took a sip of wine, and sorted out his thoughts in his mind.

"My clan's surname is Jin, but in fact, my surname is Jin. It was originally a high-ranking official and nobleman in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was also a hidden vein of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Because of the talent and learning of the ancestors, he was entrusted with important tasks after Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne (1402). He accompanied the emperor on many expeditions to the north, recording the journey and the events of the war. In the first year of Hongxi (1425), Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, and the ancestor was appointed by Renzong to review and record the crimes of prisoners outside the Chengtian Gate. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Shan was also full of pride, and drank a big sip of wine happily.

"Later, it was even more terrible, directly presided over the trial of the judicial department, went through countless major and serious cases, formed a systematic procedure for adjudicating cases, and also recorded and accumulated a lot of rich experience in handling cases, and wrote this "Detective Minutes".

"Detective Minutes" is an important experience accumulated by predecessors, although the times have changed, but this kind of records and works are very rare, its value is immeasurable, Long Yang touched the book in his arms with his hand.

"Father-in-law, what happens next?"

Then came the woe. The ancestor accepted a case of the murder of an official, and in the course of the trial, it was discovered that it was related to the power struggle within the imperial family. The deeper the case went, the more people were implicated, and the prince and princess were implicated. The old ancestor did not dare to hide this matter, and reported it to the emperor according to the truth, and the emperor was furious, punished many people within the imperial family, and a large number of party officials were beheaded. Because my ancestor presided over this case, he caused a collective anger among the royal family. They began to secretly investigate the identity of our clan, and I don't know what means they used, but they found out that our clan was the hidden vein of the royal family of the previous dynasty, which was tantamount to a catastrophe from heaven. When the emperor heard this, he was very angry and ordered the Jin clan to be beheaded and punished by the ten clans. ”

Jin Shan sighed, there must have been a lot of people in the Jin family at that time, and they were the ones who died unjustly.

"Hey, father-in-law, isn't it the Zhujiu clan? How can there still be the Ten Clans? ”

"There are ten clans, this incident originated from the case of Fang Xiaoru in the Ming Dynasty. The ten clans refer to the fourth clan of the father, the third clan of the mother, the second clan of the wife, and the tenth clan is the disciple protégé. ”

"The criminal laws of the Ming Dynasty were really cruel, and even the disciples of other families were not spared. So how did the bloodline escape here? ”

"Fortunately, the ancestors were prepared in the early stage, and they were helped by nobles, leaving us in the direct line to escape. After escaping, we lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and have lived for hundreds of years. ”

"If you've escaped, why are you still cursed?"

"It's a long story."

In fact, Jin Shan was also the result of his own investigation and speculation, and he didn't know much about the specific plot.
