At the Ministry of Revenue, Qiu Yan, having said his piece and seeing Zhou Shuren with no reaction, couldn't help but say it again, "The Emperor has decreed the encirclement of Zhang Jinghong's estate."
Zhou Shuren raised his head, "I heard you clearly just now."
Qiu Yan, puzzled, "You heard clearly, yet why do you have no reaction whatsoever?"
Zhou Shuren pointed at himself, "My surname is Zhou. Zhang Jinghong and I have no relation. Whether he is arrested or beheaded has nothing to do with me. Why should I react?"
Qiu Yan, with a wooden expression, "Aren't you the least bit curious?"
Zhou Shuren smiled faintly, "I'm clear on the matter," he said aloud, "I'm not curious. I have plenty of work to keep me busy, let's not chat anymore."
