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.
