Kapitel 182: Chapter 182 Three People Governing Together

Ming Xizhi watched Qin Han's retreating back and only then realized his own back was soaked with sweat; just now Qin Han's gaze as he looked at him seemed to penetrate right into his heart.

The words he had just said appeared to be respectful towards Qin Han, as if wanting to express gratitude and assist Qin Han against the Chen family. In truth, he simply wanted to use Qin Han's hand to deal with the Chen family—after all, the Ming and Chen families had been in both open and hidden conflict for many years. If he could use the occasion of Qin Han's issue to suppress the Chen family, the Ming family would be the ultimate beneficiary.

This strategy of "letting the snipe and the clam grapple while the fisherman profits" had been well calculated by Ming Xizhi. But he had not anticipated that although Qin Han resided in Zhongzhou, he was not unaware of the affairs in Shangjing.
