Xing Yutang sat steadily, his beautiful hanging eyes slightly raised, looking at Xing Suhan, meeting Xing Suhan's angry gaze without hesitation, not taking it seriously at all.
The situation immediately became tense. Xing Yushan could no longer sit still, so he stood up and walked around from behind the bookcase.
Xing Yutang and Xing Suhan said nothing, they just looked at each other quietly, their eyes filled with smoke, as if they could win just by looking at them.
Xing Yushan wanted to give some advice, but neither of the two parties spoke, and it was not the time to really break up. He didn't know what to say, so he could only stand between the two of them, looking more complex than the two.
The people who were going to fight were still nervous and a little embarrassed.
After a while, Xing Suhan's heaving chest gradually calmed down, and the expression on his face softened slightly, and he said:
"I know you misunderstood me because of that rhyme."
Before he finished speaking, Xing Yutang interrupted him rudely: "There is also Mr. Zhang."
Mr. Zhang was the official who was bumped into and brought back after he harassed the Yan family caravan a few nights ago.
If the nursery rhyme I heard before was a rumor, then Mr. Zhang is the irrefutable proof.
"Haha" Xing Suhan laughed lowly, lowered his head slightly, clenched his chin, and looked at Xing Yutang opposite:
"What do you mean, cousin, that I rely on my uncle to collect money and donate money privately?"
When he said this, Xing Suhan's tone was full of incredible surprise.
Xing Yutang raised his chin, which was exactly the opposite of Xing Suhan's posture, and looked squarely at Xing Suhan.
Although he didn't say anything, his attitude already showed what he meant: You are it!
"Hahaha!"
Xing Suhan put his hands on his waist, raised his head and laughed, then pointed his finger at Xing Yushan, who was standing innocently next to him:
"Is this something I can decide? Ask my eldest brother if he knows about this, and ask where the collected donations go."
When Xing Suhan put his finger on his nose, Xing Yushan quickly stepped forward and walked between the two of them, distinguishing it for Xing Suhan: "Yutang, don't misunderstand Suhan. I also know about this. Didn't you ask about it last time?"
"As well as the taxes and donations collected, Suhan wrote down the accounts clearly. He did not embezzle official money. Brother, there is evidence..."
Xing Yutang slowly stood up from the chair and gently pushed back Xing Yushan's shoulder without exerting any force.
Xing Yushan took half a step back. He was fine. He just looked at Xing Yutang in confusion and said no more.
Xing Yutang pushed his eldest brother to the side, then stood in front of him, looking at Xing Suhan at eye level.
Xing Yutang is the tallest among the three brothers. When he stands like this, he completely blocks his brother Xing Yushan from behind, and he becomes more like an older brother.
"Don't involve my eldest brother. This matter of collecting salary and donations cannot be my eldest brother's idea. He doesn't have so many ideas, let alone that much energy to do such a thing."
"It's only possible that you, my cousin, are fueling this matter."
When Xing Yutang said this, Xing Yushan was completely speechless.
He was always honest, and compared to these two younger brothers, he was never as talkative as they were.
More importantly, Xing Yushan was surprised. Xing Yutang described the experience of collecting salary and donations exactly as if he had personally participated.
He really didn't ask about this matter and had never thought about it before. When Xing Suhan mentioned it to him, he felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed to accept it.
He also asked someone to check the accounts he received and found that there were no errors, so he became more and more indifferent and let Xing Suhan do it.
It's just that he couldn't figure out why Yutang lost such a temper since Xing Suhan didn't embezzle Mo's official money.
Xing Suhan was also angry: "Xing Yutang, what exactly do you want to say today? Do you think I am redundant? Do you want to drive me away?"
"Brother has proven that I did not embezzle the money from the Mo official. Why do you accuse me?"
"If you tell me what I did wrong, I can change it. If you target me without any reason, what are you going to do?"
Xing Suhan spoke clearly and concisely, and even Xing Yushan felt that Xing Yutang was inexplicably targeting Xing Suhan.
From beginning to end, Xing Yutang did not show any anger.
From the beginning to the end, he kept looking at Xing Suhan's eyes seriously, and asked in a deep voice: "This is exactly what I want to ask my cousin. What do you want to do?"
Xing Suhan stared at Xing Yutang for a long time, suddenly turned around, rolled up his sleeves and walked out.
When he reached the door, he stopped again. Xing Suhan turned around and glared at Xing Yutang: "I came to Xingyun Palace to assist my eldest brother in the affairs of the Board of Directors. It was my uncle's father who promised me back then. It's not impossible to drive me away now, but I also need my uncle.
Say it yourself."
"This Xingyun Palace hasn't changed owners yet. You, Xing Yutang, still can't control me!"
After saying that, Xing Suhan strode out of the study and quickly disappeared outside the garden door.
Sensing that Xing Suhan had really left, Xing Yushan shook his head helplessly: "Yutang, what's the matter with you? Let's just discuss the matter, and then we'll start a fight for nothing."
"What Su Han said just now is right. He has indeed not done anything excessive. Even if you think it is inappropriate to collect salary and donations, He He Qi will give you the reason. This is not something that cannot be changed. We are all brothers, and He Qi is our brother.
Come on!"
Xing Yushan's sincere words made Xing Yutang's face grow darker and darker.
"Boom!"
The door panel suddenly closed by itself, the light in the room immediately dimmed, and the study fell into complete silence.
Xing Yushan knew that it was Xing Yutang who did it, and looked at him in surprise: "Yutang? You..."
"Brother, do you know what my father relies on to guard Canglang City?"
Although Xing Yushan looked confused when he was asked, he still blurted out: "Eye of Canglang, what's wrong?"
Xing Yutang: “Where did the Eye of Canglang come from?”
Xing Yushan then said without thinking: "My father's luck and cultivation, as well as the luck of Canglang City, and the power of the people's belief in my father in Canglang City."
These were taught to them by their father when the two brothers were children.
Although Xing Yushan's qualifications were ordinary, his father did not hide it from him. He was as well aware of these fundamental matters related to the Xing family as Xing Yutang.
He also knew that Xing Yutang could now master part of the power of the Eye of Canglang, but he was completely unable to use it at all.
Xing Yushan knew that he was not as qualified as his younger brother, and he never felt jealous that his younger brother had far greater authority than he did.
He just couldn't understand why his brother suddenly mentioned the Eye of Canglang.
Xing Yutang lowered his eyebrows and listened quietly to Xing Yushan's words. He waited until Xing Yushan stopped talking, then raised his head and looked at Xing Yushan:
"Brother, do you still remember how your father used to teach us what the people need?"
Xing Yushan still blurted out: "What the people want is nothing more than two things: abundance and security."
