Seeing that Ma Ergou was stunned, a boost of joy surged in Nie Zhenbang's heart. The ethnic situation in Lixian was too complex, unlike inland provinces, where the ethnic composition was more homogeneous. Here were different ethnic groups living together, and the conflicts between them were not insignificant. More importantly, these circumstances encouraged unity among the groups. Likewise, they were prone to disagreements and clashes.
Given these circumstances, the enemy was weakened, and it was a perfect opportunity to dissuade them. Nie Zhenbang then walked over to Zhao Kunlun and murmured, "Secretary Zhao, there are more and more onlookers. I think we should deploy our community police officers to control the crowd. Too many people might not only create a bad impression but also chaos."
