With the goal in hand, Grover suddenly felt much more relaxed.
But there was one thing that made him very dissatisfied.
When he came out of Tallinn City, he didn't bring a servant because he had an important mission.
Unexpectedly, the Fast family did not arrange two maids for him, so it took almost half an hour to change clothes.
But Grover also didn’t want to think about how such a thing as bribery could be done so blatantly.
Lorne did not arrange for a third party for his own good.
He spent more than half an hour getting dressed, and Lorne also waited outside for more than half an hour.
Although Grover was dissatisfied in his heart, he showed no emotion on the surface.
While talking to Lorne and his son, they entered the Tuke family's banquet room.
Fortunately, the Tuke family used to be very wealthy, otherwise Lorne would have had no choice but to hold the banquet in the Lord's Hall.
In this case, Grover might have to convict Lorne of another crime.
It's a pity that even if you try to please the other party, the one who is looking for trouble will always find the problem.
For example, in order to make the scene bigger, Lorne summoned everyone from Tukland and Fastland who were obedient to him.
Naturally, people like Grant were also lucky enough to participate.
It was the first time in his life to attend a banquet.
Although the guys were careful, they were still discovered by Grover because they were out of place.
With a purpose, as soon as he found someone behaving strangely, he found an excuse to leave Lorne and others alone and approached him.
"Hello sir, I am Viscount Grover Hubbs from Tallinn City."
In fact, Grover didn't need to introduce himself, Grant also knew him.
Because as the protagonist of the banquet, everyone knew about him, and they had even been greeted by Lorne in advance.
So Grant immediately introduced himself with great enthusiasm and imitated Grover: "Hello, sir, I am Grant.
I was just appointed chief by Lord Lornefast some time ago. tax officer."
After bragging about yourself, there will be a lot of flattery.
"I have heard of your reputation before when I was doing business on the border.
It is the greatest honor in my life to be able to see the legendary Viscount Habsburg with my own eyes.
When I first learned from Lord Baron that Viscount Habsburg was coming, I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep last night.
Words alone cannot describe my excitement.
Please don’t take it personally if it’s a little trivial. " When he first heard that Grant was Lorne's chief tax officer, Grover thought he had found a confidant of Lorne.
But later on, Grant's shameless face immediately made Grover feel disgusted, especially the philistine gift at the end.
He has a habit of receiving gifts, but he never does so in public.
Grant's behavior was a slap in the face, but in order to pull out Lorne's pigtails, he had to continue chatting with Grant.
"You are too polite, but I have official duties and cannot accept your gift casually."
Grover declined Grant's gift, but Grover suddenly realized that he didn't know what to call Grant.
Grante is the name, obviously.
However, nobles who are not familiar with each other usually call each other by their last name.
It is very impolite to call them by their first names.
Recalling Grant's words, the other party didn't seem to mention his last name.
And if Grover remembered correctly, Grant seemed to have said that he was doing business at the border.
Even if a nobleman is really down and out and relies on his own hands to make money, he will not say anything about doing business.
Already having some guesses in his mind, Grover asked tentatively: "I haven't asked you which family sir is from yet.
Maybe we have some connections."
The long-standing aristocrats do have complicated relationships through constant intermarriage, but these are definitely not related to Grant.
Their family was ancestral common people, and if they were related to Grover, who was born in the Habs family, they would have prospered long ago.
How could it be so hard to work for Lorne?
"I was once a freeman of Two Rivers Town, courtesy of the Baron" As soon as the words "free folk" came out of his mouth, Grover understood everything.

Later, he didn't listen to Grant at all.
Using a commoner as a tax collector had already touched the interests of the nobles.
What's more, Grant also said that he was the chief, interrupting Lao Ge's bragging, Grover asked again.
"Baron Fast really knows people and makes good use of them.
I wonder how many more talents he has discovered."
Lorne never thought that civilians becoming officials would be a big problem.
Over time, Celine gradually got used to the existence of Grant and others.
Even if they both ignored the issue, Grant naturally didn't think it was necessary to hide it.
What's more, the word "talent" just touched his itch.
He first pointed at Moro who was squatting on the ground in the distance.
"His name is Moro, he was originally from the Border Legion.
Now he is helping the Baron raise wolves, but that guy is weird and likes to talk to animals.
Looking at his current appearance, he probably found something strange again.
Sir, please don't approach him casually. " Then he pointed to Old Wolf who was sitting in the distance and talking to Kesi and said: "That's Old Wolf.
He used to open a hotel in Namu Fortress.
He made a lot of money from me when I was doing business.
It’s a little copper, but it’s different now.
I’m the first among them to follow the Baron.”
With a proud look on his face, Grant had no idea that Grover was trying to trick him.
In fact, what Grant said was no secret.
As long as you go to Fast to pick it up, you can know these things in less than an hour.
But what others don't care about is very useful to Grover.
Just based on Lorne's abuse of civilians, he can go back to snitching.
But one thing made Grover very confused, and that was why Lorne wanted to use civilians.
If he was supporting Lorne from behind, the Fast Territory should be filled with his cronies.
Subconsciously glanced at Grant, then glanced at Morrow and the others.
All of them are crooked melons and cracked dates, and they don't look even remotely aristocratic.
Unable to find the reason, Grover planned to go to Fast to take it away in person.
Anyway, he was mentally prepared for a protracted war.
"Your Majesty the Viscount, the dinner is about to begin.
Why are you, the protagonist, still here?"
Celine, who happened to have changed her clothes, found Grover talking to Grant and rushed over immediately.
The woman finally remembered Grant and their sensitive identities.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
After getting the information about Lorne's abuse of civilians, Grant had long lost its use value.
Grover had a headache on how to get rid of this annoying guy in front of him, but Celine's arrival just relieved him.
"Sorry, Mrs.
Charles.
Your tax collector is so cute, I couldn't help but chat with him a little more.
It's my fault for keeping everyone waiting.
Let's go back quickly."
Obviously he was collecting evidence of Lorne's crime, but Grover said he wanted to see it alone.
Who dared to stop him considering the other person's identity?
Seeing how he readily agreed now, Celine had already guessed that the other person had learned from Grant.
I know something
