You migh be wrong in "Bi4 Zhou3 Zi4 Zhen1", I quess it should be "Bi4 Zhou4 Zi4 Zhen1"避重就輕 It means people don't talk the point. They just say a little bit about the truth. For example, if your parents ask you " where did you go last night?" You don't want to tell them you were with your boyfrind in his house last night. Then you maybe tell your parents you were with your boyfrind without saying being in his house. This is 避重就輕, avoiding the point but picking up easy things to say.
