Lan Qianrong's words left the entire conference hall in shock.
Just now, the reason Xu Qianli had struck Zhang Kuisan was no secret to anyone, it was all for Lan Qianrong's reputation.
Yet, there she was, having just been helped by Xu Qianli to deal with Zhang Kuisan, and she was proposing to dismiss Xu Qianli from his position, completely and utterly. Was this some sort of joke?
Or was she merely putting on an act?
Sun Yan cleared her throat, "County Magistrate Lan, don't you think the punishment for Xu Qianli is too harsh? Although he did hit Zhang Kuisan, there was a reason for it, Zhang Kuisan was spreading rumors and slandering you, he deserved it!"
With Sun Yan taking the lead, many others chimed in agreement, each hoping to curry favor.
In their minds, Lan Qianrong would certainly take the opportunity to relent and withdraw the punishment for Xu Qianli.
