One day later, the Judicial Department, together with the other two analysis departments, produced the "Analysis and Simulation of Bai Changqing's Recent Activities," and this document, a full inch thick, was placed before Wang Jian.
After reading it through twice, Wang Jian finally nodded, satisfied with the official report. He then made a stamped copy, stored the original in the Document Library, and took the stamped copy himself to the Jingxi Town Governor's Office in the Imperial City, presenting it directly to Jiang Cheng.
Unlike his treatment by Shen Hao, Wang Jian received no special consideration in the Jingxi Town Governor's Office; he was not even qualified to wait in the teahouse, having to settle for a side room near the back door. Were it not for the directive Shen Hao had given him, he would not have been allowed even in the side room.
