Chapter 2458 Assasin!

Lin Mu let the servants do the work this time, as they prepared a pot of good tea.

"Ah! Some nice Jumping Dragon Tea!" the minister recognized it just from the scent. "Looks like we have shared tastes." He laughed.

"Perhaps." Lin Mu replied. "It is good tea though." He nodded.

Apparently, the tea he was drinking was especially grown for the Imperial Family and was exclusive to their gardens. Getting this outside was almost impossible, and while there were other teas that could match its level, it was still a rarity.

The minister talked quite a lot about it and went off on random matters. It didn't seem like he had come to talk to Lin Mu for anything particular, but just wanted to make a connection with him. 'I suppose as a Treasury minister it is one of the things one needs to know how to do,' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Since Lin Mu could be considered his superior, it would make sense as to why the minister would want to do this. Plus, Lin Mu had command over the treasury too now and could take things from it as he wished, so it was best for the minister to know about it.

Things would get troublesome for the minister if things kept on disappearing and he didn't know that Lin Mu had taken them. At the very least, there needed to be some form of rapport between them to ensure things would get out of hand.

"Oh, I heard, Lord Imperator is a gourmand too?" The minister finally asked.

"I do like food." Lin Mu nodded. "Well, if you wish, I can set up an exclusive banquet for you." The minister offered. "While it might not match in value with the Imperial Banquet of the Emperor, I can at least assure you I can get some new dishes and unique ingredients from all over the world." He stated.

"Oh? That might be interesting." Lin Mu reckoned Little Shrubby would like that too.
