"Mr. Tartaglia, I'm here to deliver the meal."

Ji Li walked in with a tray of food, but couldn't find a table in the prison. All he saw was a mess on the floor.

Tartaglia said generously: "The table is gone, you can put it anywhere. Oh, today's meal is quite sumptuous, it won't be the last meal for execution."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Li's whole body trembled and stiffened.

Tartaglia didn't pay any attention to him, but just looked at him carefully: "There is also soup. It happens that I was so thirsty from scolding just now, and this is just the right thing to moisten my throat."

Just as he was about to pick up the bowl and drink it all, his hand had already raised the bowl to his mouth and was about to put it in, but Tadalia was stopped by Ji Li's shout.

"Mr. Tartaglia, please wait a moment!"

Tartaglia smiled slightly: "So, that's what happened, right?"

Ji Li covered his forehead and said, "Sorry, I seem to have suddenly figured out something..."

Tartaglia smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to apologize to me. I have never blamed you."

"Whether it was coercion or inducement, or any other method, it's obviously not your own will to do such a thing. It was Fa Xiao who forced you to do it."

Ji Li shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tartaglia, he made a condition that I couldn't seem to refuse, and I agreed to it in a rush. This is my own wish."

Tartaglia said, "Of course it doesn't count. If I say it doesn't count, then it doesn't count. Anyway, I'll just assume that Fa Xiao forced you to come here. How much poison is in this meal?"

Ji Li paused and swallowed his saliva: "It's enough to kill a grown beast of burden..."

"Oh my god, he really thinks highly of me..." Tartaglia stroked his chin, "The fact that Faxiao is so eager to take action must mean that the words I said to him during our verbal battle must have hurt him."

"In his own words, lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife..."

"This further proves that what I said is right. This old guy definitely has some unspeakable secrets, and he must have covered up the things that happened behind the scenes of Yingchun Inn."

"I didn't go wrong calling him a corrupt official or a parasite. I now feel that calling him a bad person was too light."

Dadalia asked: "Ji Li, guess what the consequences will be if you poison me here today?"

Ji Li shook his head: "May I ask Mr. Tartaglia for your advice?"

Tartaglia said firmly: "I am very sure that if you poison me here, he will use this as an excuse to deal with you as well as the crime of murdering a prisoner.

"After all, you don't have a deep foundation, and you can't be considered a member of his faction. You have questioned him repeatedly recently. Even if it is to prevent you from doing anything that is detrimental to him, he will deal with both of us together."

Tartaglia snorted coldly: "What a shrewd man, he has thought of everything. It's a pity that he met me. There is not a single trick of his that I can't see through."

"If I were really poisoned to death now, this old fox would be so happy. Tsk tsk tsk, but you made the right choice at the last moment. Not only did you save me, but you also saved yourself."

Having said that, Tartaglia smiled brightly and nodded at Ji Li.

"But you haven't met either of them yet?"

Ji Li shook his head helplessly: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Tartaglia, Young Master Ye Luo and Mr. Zhongli, they never showed up. I never doubted the friendship between them and you, I think they might have been held up by something important..."

Tartaglia leaned over the door and took a peek, lowering her voice: "Ji Li, listen to me, we don't have time to wait any longer. If Faxiao knew that you didn't poison me, then they would definitely be able to guess everything we are saying now, and then you won't be able to hide either."

"Now, go report to Fa Xiao and tell him that you have successfully poisoned me, and then bring him to the prison. At that time, he will definitely bring many people to testify in order to prove your guilt of poisoning me."

"At that time, I, who was originally pretending to be dead here, can suddenly take action to create chaos, and you can take advantage of this chaos to run quickly. The farther the better, it would be best if you can find Zhongli and Ye Luo."

Tartaglia nodded confidently: "I believe in my own strength and I can definitely delay it for a long time. When the time comes, just focus on finding someone. As long as we can find these two, everything will turn around. I have confidence in them and you."

Ji Li's heart was pounding and his whole body was trembling. Tartaglia held his shoulders with a firm look in his eyes.

"Ji Li, we are still young. They just think we are small and easy to bully. Today we will show that old fox that those who want to murder us will not have a good end!"

"What I hate most is to make promises to others, but regarding this matter, I still want to tell you that if you can really help Yujingtai and catch this corrupt official, you will definitely get what Faxiao promised you, and even more!"

Ji Li clenched his fists: "I became a member of Qianyan Army and have indeed been waiting for the opportunity to become a regular employee. I also want to get a promotion and a raise so that my family can have a better life."

"But I will never forget the true meaning of my joining the Thousand Rocks Army. What I truly want to defend is fairness and justice, strict laws, long-term stability in Liyue, and the people's peace and happiness."

"If such a person appears among us and wants to destroy everything, then even if I am insignificant and have little influence, I will give everything I have to defeat him. I am not afraid at all!"

Dadalia pointed at Ji Li and said, "Well said, you pass!"

Ji Li took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Tartaglia, I'm ready. I'll go now!"

Tartaglia nodded and said, "Okay, I will die now. You can go now. Remember to show off when you go so that everyone can hear you."

"Yeah!" Ji Li nodded vigorously, then deliberately threw the plate on the ground, pushed the door and started shouting.

"Something happened! The prisoner is dead!"

Tartaglia smiled slightly, pinched her own neck, rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue, lay straight on the ground, and shouted while pretending to struggle.

"Ah! I'm dead!"
