Not to mention the nobles present, even the common people outside already knew about Lorne becoming Baron Fast.
But they didn't think that Lorne really controlled the Fast Territory.
After all, Celine left such a deep impression on them.
For example, the old man who opposed Lorne subconsciously glanced at the woman standing next to the Baron.
Lorne, who was sitting high on the lord's chair, clearly noticed the other party's little moves.
In this case, Celine had already vaccinated him.
Just kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, there is no need to have any scruples.
That's what the woman told Lorne at the time, so Lorne wouldn't be polite to an old man.
And by not killing him, the Baron felt that he was already quite merciful.
"The lord is talking to you, which way are you looking?"
Bullying an elderly man, Lorne's voice kept echoing in the hall, "Forget it, you must not be clear-headed at your age.
Tell me you are taking on the responsibility " To be able to attend the meeting of the lords, the old man must have an official position.
When he received no response from Celine, facing the aggressive Lorne, the old man subconsciously wanted to reveal his identity.
"I'm from the Addams Family" When you open your mouth, you have to show your family background, but you will appear to take up a position in Fastland.
The old man's status in the family must be very marginal, or he might have some grudges with the current head of the family.
No matter how powerful the so-called Adams family is, it has little to do with the old man.
Lorne would not let go of a family that was beyond his reach.
In order to prevent others from thinking that they could gain a foothold with their long family history, he interrupted the old man's words.
"I don't care which family you are from, you just need to answer my question.
Now I am kind enough to ask you again, what is your position?"
The old man had probably never met anyone like Lorne.
His face turned blue with anger, and his pale beard trembled slightly with his breathing.
I hope that the old man can just fall to the ground and not stand up.
Unfortunately, the old man is always old, but his vitality is extremely tenacious.
"I am responsible for the taxation of the territory, and I will be responsible for the final settlement of all taxes."
After taking a few breaths, he managed to calm down his anger.
However, from the old man's harsh tone, Lorne realized that the old man was very unhappy with him.
Likewise, he was not satisfied with an old fellow being his tax collector.
I couldn't even hear the words clearly.
Who knew if the other party made a mistake when calculating the general ledger.
Besides, how could such an important position in taxation be given to someone who had a grudge against him?
If the old guy secretly made two changes, wouldn't he suffer a great loss?
"Taxation, well, this job is really important."
Lorne's whisper was amplified in everyone's ears.
After hearing Lorne's voice, the old man was slightly proud and prepared to retaliate.
Unexpectedly, the Baron's next words choked his unspoken words in his throat.
If the man beside him hadn't quickly patted his back to calm him down, maybe Lorne could have accomplished the feat of killing people with words.
"Grant, from today on, you will be responsible for taxes."
The last sound was still echoing in the hall, and Grant immediately crawled out from the corner and knelt in front of the Baron.
"Thank you very much, Lord Baron.
I will definitely work hard to count every coin for you."
Taxation is the lifeblood of a territory.
Grant couldn't help but be excited to be able to obtain such an important position.
The stingy businessman is also very suitable for this position.
I believe he will do what he says and never let go of any copper.

"Very well, tax evasion is a shameful act.
You must remember what you said today, but if I find that you have committed malfeasance, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Grant's greed for money is also a problem, so Lorne must warn him.
Otherwise, once Lao Ge makes a mistake, he will have to punish the stingy businessman who finally got close to the aristocratic circle.
Of course, if Grant really dares to covet his gold coins.
Then Luo En would definitely not let go lightly when he started to attack, and he would confiscate Lao Ge's family and exterminate his clan if he didn't even think about it.
But Grant, who had just ascended to a high position, would not give up the opportunity in front of him because of a small risk.
He kept making guarantees and swore that he would fulfill his duties faithfully.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, Grant was happy.
The old man Adams who lost his identity as a tax collector was in a bad situation.
A large number of people surrounded the old man who was gasping for air, and it took a lot of effort to save the old man from the edge of death.
But this time the old man obviously didn't have the energy to argue with Lorne, and the middle-aged man who gave him the favor stepped forward.
"Baron Fast, my father and I have been serving the Fast family for so many years.
Your unfair actions cannot convince us, and my father's reputation cannot be damaged by this.
I need a reasonable explanation, ma'am."
Unexpectedly, the old man's son also served in his territory.
The whole family pointed at him for eating, and even dared to contradict him.
It is reasonable and reasonable for such a person to be fired.
They went in the wrong direction when they asked Celine for help.
The Adams and his son had indeed worked for the Fast family for a long time, but Celine had not moved their positions.
It is also because the father and son are very aware of current affairs, and they came close to Celine before she took power.
But now, they mistakenly believe that the Fast Territory still belongs to Celine.
The father and son who were on the wrong team had no chance to turn around.
Celine had no intention of intervening in this matter.
The woman's silent attitude showed that she left everything to Lorn to handle.
This was also Lorn's first lesson as a lord.
"Unfair," Lorne sneered, and started to have a verbal spat with little Adams, "This old man, your father, old Adams, dared to question my authority in public.
As the legal Baron Fast, of course I have the right to punish him. qualifications.
But I, in my mercy, will not deprive him of his office on this account.
Your father's eyesight is so dim that he can't even stand up.
I relieved him of his duties so that he could go home and have a good rest.”
Confusing right and wrong, little Adams wanted to accuse Lorne of being like this because it was entirely Lorne's fault.
But in fact, what Lorne said was not wrong.
There was a slight hesitation, but it was this hesitation that allowed Lorne to scold the Adams and his son all over.
"And you, you are a person with no reputation.
With my father's physical condition in such a condition, you actually let him work hard everywhere.
I, the Fast Leader, do not welcome people like you, so from now on, your position has been cancelled.
If you still have a little sense of shame, take your father back and take a good rest.
If I see you chewing on the elderly again, I will personally make you confess your crime
