When Zhi Wan was brought to the interrogation room, several people were seated inside: the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Temple Director, the Assessor, the Chief Clerk, and the Director.
They were reasonably polite to her and asked some routine questions, which the Chief Clerk recorded in a register.
After the questioning, she was led out and taken to a room to rest.
The room was very neat, furnished with a bed and fresh linens.
"This is where the Temple Minister rests when he's handling official duties. You don't need to worry, miss."
The government official who brought her over explained when he saw her hesitation.
Hearing this, Zhi Wan did feel a bit more at ease. "Thank you."
The government official shook his head. "If you need anything, miss, just let me know. I'll be waiting outside."
"Thank you," Zhi Wan said sincerely.
"You're welcome, miss." After pouring her a cup of tea, the government official left, closing the door behind him.
