Why did he feel a sense of familiarity with Bai Qi's relics in Chang'an?

According to Qin Law, if someone didn't have an identity card, they would be treated as a spy, a crime punishable by death. Ye Shikai's strange attire drew suspicion. Even if Shangguan Jian had killed him on the spot, no one would have been able to say anything. But now, he had given Ye Shikai a chance to live, and perhaps even to achieve merit and fame.
