Joseph Yigordmid sat down in the chair and asked with some expectation, "Has there been any result from the task I assigned to you?"
Previously, through Jean Sone's recommendation, he had met this British banker—a greedy and cunning speculator, who was also one of the senior members of the Tax Farmers Association.
Thus, Joseph had offered substantial benefits to make Yigordmid act as an informant and collect evidence of illegal activities among the tax farming magnates.
Now that Yigordmid was claiming to have "good news," there was a good chance he had uncovered something.
However, Yigordmid simply shrugged and said, "Your Highness, you know, those individuals are extremely cunning. I have continuously failed to find any evidence of their crimes."
