There was a smell of nervousness in the air, and no one spoke at the moment, only silence.

I don't know how long it took, the old man's eyelids went up and down, and his gaze stopped on Su Dashao's face for a few seconds, and then he finally put down the pu fan in his hand, took the cup of tea and took a sip unhurriedly.

Ignoring Su Yiyang's trade-offs and Gu Nanqiao's scrutiny, Guo Jincheng just leaned lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed, and was stunned to lean the valuable leather sofa out of the rocking chair, and when the half-sneer rolled out of his throat, the hidden aura was also revealed.

"Su Xiaogongzi is polite, didn't I tell you when you found me earlier-we didn't have that relationship at that time, and I can't tell you many things. But I owe you a favor to your Sun family, and sooner or later there will be a time to pay it back. ”

Guo Jincheng opened his lips half-open, and spoke slowly.

"I have to say that your actions are very fast, you can force the Ji family to the point where you are today in such a short period of time, and you have developed the Spring Garden so maturely, it can be regarded as better than blue. You really deserve to be a child of the Sun family, you really lived up to your mother's expectations back then, and Sun Jing asked me to see the light of day one day, very good, really good...... It's complete. ”

The corners of Su Yiyang's lips were slightly raised, but there was not much smile in those beautiful eyes, his voice was low and good, but his tone invisibly revealed a bit of oppression, as if he had to know what the result was. At this point, Guo Jincheng's intention is self-evident, and Su Yiyang is too lazy to go around in circles anymore.

"Then I'll thank Mr. Guo for the compliment, but it's not interesting to play dumb riddles all the time, what did my mother tell you back then, and why did your old man owe us the favor of our Sun family, can you tell me now?"

"Okay, since it's said to be straight to the point, then I won't detour too much. ”

Guo Jincheng looked at Su Yiyang fixedly, took out a small boxy package from his trouser pocket, and raised his hand to hand it to him. It was an envelope wrapped in brown paper, and the contents were unsinkable, like neatly stacked sheets of paper. Su Yiyang didn't rush to open these things, and Guo Jincheng's voice continued to come.

"Young Master Su, these are the things you want, what happened to the Jingyao Grand Theater back then, you must have found out, otherwise you wouldn't have fought with the Ji family to this extent. I'll tell you something today that you haven't found out yet - after Feng Sunan's accident, your mother came to me once, and she also gave me these things. ”

Gu Nanqiao had heard Xiao Fangran talk about the past that made Mei Hanqiu so frightened that she couldn't sleep well, so much so that Guo Jincheng had just started talking, and she guessed what these things were.

"Old man Guo, what Aunt Sun handed you over, is it evidence about the Jingyao Grand Theater?"

Guo Jincheng didn't shy away anymore, nodded generously, sighed lowly, and then continued.

"Feng Sunan is a character, he is very smart, and he will not be affected by cleverness to do those things that harm others and benefit himself...... But he is too soft-hearted, how can there be so many logical things in the world? If everyone can get lost, there will be no such thing as a wicked person. Feng Sunan held these things in his hand early in the morning, he kept giving Ji Guangfan a chance, and he couldn't bear to completely knock him down, until the end, he was still persuading your mother to put the overall situation first...... Hey, that's a pity. ”

Gu Nanqiao didn't seem to understand these words, her eyes glanced at Su Yiyang on the side, but she saw her boyfriend looking thoughtful, and she didn't know what she was considering.

"So, why is Feng Sunan unwilling to expose Ji Guangfan's actions," Gu Nanqiao frowned slightly, thought about Guo Jincheng's words, and then opened his mouth in a thoughtful tone, "Isn't it the most important thing to let those who deserve their crimes be punished and eliminate those unsightly conspiracies in the Jingyao Grand Theater?"

"Girl, you thought about things simpler back then......" The old man squinted slightly, his old cheeks flashed a hint of amazement after the passage of time, and his tone slowed down.

At that time, Ji Guangfan did things so desperately, in order to hold the management of the Jingyao Grand Theater in his hands, he suppressed the rest of the troupe everywhere, and there were too many gray transaction entanglements behind this, and the entire theater was stirred up into a miasma. In fact, in that situation, Feng Sunan had no need to endure it anymore, especially Ji Guangfan made a fuss about his private affairs...... At that time, Su Guangnan's boss Su was angry, and he didn't make a small stumbling block in the open and secret, Feng Sunan took the initiative to give up his position in order to avoid suspicion, hey, he is such a tall person, it is not easy to do this part. ”

Su Yiyang also has some memories of this past, and the relationship between Su Guangnan and Sun Jing was tense to a certain extent at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as saber-drawn. At that time, Su Yiyang was still a child, and he didn't have a clear understanding of many things, but he only remembered the coldness that was invisibly revealed at home, and no one must have felt good.

It turns out that the so-called misunderstandings are all intentional.

And in these aspects of Su Yiyang's distraction, Gu Nanqiao had already taken the first step to open his mouth for him: "Where are Feng Sunan's concerns, he doesn't want to tarnish the name of the Peking Opera family, or is there another reason?"

"Feng Sunan is reluctant to expose Ji Guangfan, to put it bluntly, he is obviously reluctant to make the achievements of the Jingyao Grand Theater at that time, and he doesn't want Mr. Ji's hard work to be ruined and hinder the development process of Peking Opera......" Guo Jincheng sighed lowly, and his tone sank, "He, he thought of everything, but he didn't think of himself, hey." ”

With Old Man Guo's broken sigh, many things were turned over.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became serious, and the past was like a black haze, full of indescribable depression and melancholy. I don't know how long it took for Su Yiyang to break the excessive silence at the moment with a slightly mocking chuckle.

"Old man Guo, I can understand what you said, but there is one thing I can't understand, since my mother handed over the evidence to you, she must have trusted you very much. But how can you watch Ji Guangfan make waves over the years with peace of mind, and let it go?——What's the matter, the two lives are resting there, it's not a weight, your old man only cares about the world's masters, can't you stand up early?"

Su Yiyang's words were not polite, obviously with a bit of anger. Gu Nanqiao, who was standing on the side, was well aware of the fact that the predecessors of the Peking Opera family were more temperamental than the other, and he was ready to play a round, but Guo Jincheng put away his arrogance, took these questions, and even shook his head with a wry smile.

Then, Guo Jincheng didn't defend anymore and told the final reason.

"I am really to blame for these things, for more than ten years, I have held this evidence but not come forward, I can't stand up...... Because I promised Sun Jing back then, personal grievances should be placed behind the reform of Peking Opera, if the overthrow of the Jingyao Grand Theater will affect the development of the entire Peking Opera industry, then we, the descendants of the Peking Opera family, can only ignore the grudges. I have seen the current situation in my eyes over the years, no matter how evil Ji Guangfan is, Jingyao Grand Theater is also innocent, Su Xiaogongzi, and Gu Yatou, if you didn't develop Spring Manyuan to the current level, I still can't say these things. ”

Su Yiyang's eyes drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the emotions under his eyes, leaving only an unpredictable depth: "So this is the reason why you are cowardly, Old Man Guo, I have to say that such an explanation is not enough to convince me, if there is no more reasonable excuse, I will only think that you are very stubborn, cold and selfish in your bones." ”

Guo Jincheng sighed lowly, unable to tell whether he was more surprised or regretful.

"Child, I'm not excusing myself, and there's nothing to excuse, these are indeed the things that your mother asked me to promise - until the end, Sun Jing was still thinking about the development of Peking Opera, and she could have poked out these evidences at that time, but the consequence was nothing more than to make the Jingyao Grand Theater, which had just made achievements, completely fold down...... What an impact that is, the entire Grand Theater will be implicated by Ji Guangfan, maybe the reform of Peking Opera will never be able to start again, what a loss it must be for the performance industry. ”

For a while, Gu Nanqiao's heart was full of mixed feelings, she subconsciously wanted to comfort Su Yiyang's emotions, and the action of holding his hand also seemed natural. Su Yiyang's fingertips were slightly cold, and he could feel a slight tremor when he held it.

She patted the back of his hand lightly, lowering her voice and whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"It's okay, I'm here. ”

For his girlfriend's comfort, Su Dashao was obviously very useful, he didn't respond to anything, but the slightly curvature of the corners of his lips revealed his thoughts, and even the emotions in his eyes were a little gentle.

"Your mother told me at that time that Feng Sunan had endured it for so long, just hoping that there would be more markets for Peking Opera, and even put her life in it in the end, she couldn't watch these cut off in her hands. So Sun Jing entrusted the evidence to me, and waited until one day the Peking Opera market had a new world, and then revealed the crimes of the Ji family, otherwise these things would be completely buried and become a piece of the past in the years, and no one would ask about it. ”

Old Man Guo cleared his throat and continued to recall the past.

"I said that I owe you the favor of the Sun family, it is nothing more than that I saw that Sun Jing's state was not right, but only when she lost her former lover and the family pressure was greater, it would be better to adjust more. Where did I think that the fact that she found me was already a life and death will, and she was entrusted with the future. If I could pull her by then, I might have been able to save her, but ...... Hey, there's no point in regretting it. ”

At this point, all the mysteries have been completely solved, and everything has finally come to light.

After saying this, Guo Jincheng slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze stopped on Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao for a long time before he laughed in a low voice.

This laughter is full of vicissitudes, but it also hides a bit of relief.

"In the future, this is your rivers and lakes, I have been entrusted with the matter of loyalty, and now I will hand over these things to you, which can be regarded as a successful retirement...... Our generation is old, people don't accept the old, I can't sing, the predecessors who lived in the legend back then should have retreated bravely, even if they were on stage, we don't have the demeanor of the year, don't we? Your spring garden makes me see hope, I hope I didn't see the wrong person, this time I didn't believe you wrong. ”

"The times are developing, and it is inevitable to bring forth the new," Gu Nanqiao took over lightly, although his voice was not loud, but with determination and confidence, "What you left behind back then will continue to be carried forward when it reaches our hands, whether it is skill or hope, what else do you have to worry about?"

Guo Jincheng shook the pu fan in his hand, and the last sentence was crumpled in a half-low sigh.

"Don't worry about it, it's beyond the reach of the whip to worry, there's no point..... All, Xiao Gongzi Su, Gu Yatou, the road after that depends on you, the affairs of the Ji family should come to an end, and the era of Jingyao Grand Theater should also pass. I see, the Spring Garden is very promising, you have to persevere, remember not to lose your heart, whether it is Peking Opera, or more other things, you need to slowly explore - this future is in your hands, don't let us seniors down. ”

Even if Guo Jincheng didn't say it explicitly, Su Yiyang knew what he was entrusting. Inside the envelope is the relic entrusted by Sun Jing, the key to unlocking the increasingly white-hot deadlock, and the last straw that crushes the Ji family.

- This is direct evidence that Ji Guangfan can be brought down.

It's time for everything to come to an end.
