Chapter 1238: Intuition

Editor: Henyee Translations

As long as he watched closely, he believed that things would go out of control. Maybe he could really take over the 100,000 mulberry gardens!

100,000 mu! That was a mulberry garden worth millions of liang a year!

Zhao Mu could not help but feel motivated.

Zhao Mu thought for a while and decided to take the initiative.

They might as well take a risk on it!

He soon picked a few precious antiques worth more than 100,000 liang from the shared accounts and went to the governmental office to visit the officer.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mu failed to meet the officer this time.

He waited in the back hall for a long while, but one manager from the mansion of the prefectural magistrate came. The manager was very friendly and showed a smile, saying that the officer had been busy with work and was not free these days. He asked him to return after a few days.

Zhao Mu had a very bad feeling in his heart, and he felt very uneasy.

He was able to expand his business to this extent, because he was not an idiot. He must be a capable and smart person after all.

A smart person’s intuition was always very sharp.

Like now.

Zhao Mu smiled and said that Officer’s work was more important, and he would be here in a couple of days. Then he pretended to ask about the case of the Zhao Family’s traitorous slave, Zheng Qing, when would the trial start? He wondered if he could get someone to pass on the message to him.

It would be so annoying if he was not punished badly.

The manager did not say anything more. He just smiled, indicating that he had no idea what was going on.

Zhao Mu’s heart sank. He had a bad feeling about this.

But he could not ask any more.

They had no choice but to leave.

He needed to have a good discussion with his two sons. If the plan failed, someone needed to take the blame. And they needed to be prepared for this.

Zhao Mu did not hesitate. He decided to push his eldest son, Zhao Zhai, to take the responsibilities.

He was going to talk about this with his second son, and then he was going to tell his eldest son about this.

Zhao Mu had never thought about whether his eldest son would be willing to do so.

He was a father and he had the right to do so. How could he turn him down? He was not going to be a bad son either!

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Mu hurried back to the mansion and returned to the study, he ordered someone to fetch Zhao Ye. The pageboy returned and reported, “Old Master, Second Young Master is not at the mansion.”

Zhao Mu frowned and looked displeased. “He is not at the mansion? He has no priorities. Where else can he go? Get someone to find him!”

“Yes, Old Master!”

The pageboy got startled. He had no idea why Old Master would be so angry about such a small thing.

Soon the pageboy returned. “Old Master, the gatekeeper said that someone from the magistrate’s office came and asked Second Young Master to join them.”

“What?” Zhao Mu got startled and snapped. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? What are you standing there for? Get the housekeeper here! And Young Master, go now!”

The pageboy panicked and almost got weak in the knees. He staggered and went to find someone.

Zhao Mu said to the housekeeper seriously, “Go to the governmental office and find out why they asked Second Young Master to join them. If there is any news, report it to me, now!”

The housekeeper was at a loss. But he could tell that his master was really anxious. So he nodded and hurried away.
