After Zhulan entered the inner room, Zhou Shuren finally took out the examination questions from his bosom. He did not conceal his intentions, "Recently, I accompanied the Armed Escort Agency on a trip to Jiangnan, and I went to great lengths to obtain the examination questions from the past two sessions in Jiangnan. This is the copy I made to give to our Clan, in hopes that it will help the Scholars of our Clan who will participate in the examinations the year after next."
The Clan Leader Zhou finally became unsettled. He hadn't heard any news about Zhou Shuren going to Jiangnan. The man had returned without a word and even obtained some valuable materials, which startled him at first. But then, he was pleased that his intuition had not been wrong and hurriedly took the examination questions to look them over. As a former Scholar himself, he knew the importance of these questions all too well and became excited after a few glances.
