In the seventh year, the officials of the Central Secretariat stated: 'Shen Mingren, the General Overseer of the White Cloud School, has forcibly seized twenty thousand qing of civilian fields, deceived and lured one hundred thousand foolish commoners, privately bribed palace attendants, and falsely obtained titles and nobility. Imperial decrees have already been received to strip him of these; we request to purge his followers and return the seized civilian fields. His other illicit deeds should be investigated and interrogated.' An imperial edict was issued: 'We know Shen Mingren is treacherous and evil; let him be strictly interrogated.'
