"As for not wanting to participate in the [trial], that is not up to you!"

Soon a security guard pushed a wheelchair in, tied Tartaglia to the wheelchair despite his resistance, and pushed him out of the lounge.

"Hey, is this how you guys at Fontaine entertain guests?!"

When Tartaglia thought about the embarrassing appearance of himself sitting in a wheelchair and soon appearing in front of countless people, he suddenly felt sick and protested loudly.

"Mr. Tartaglia, Lord Villette was very kind not to hold you responsible for causing trouble in court. Please don't be so tactless."

Just as Tartaglia was about to say something, he suddenly saw the Fatui soldiers being escorted away by the guards in the distance of the corridor. Tartaglia recognized them as his own men at a glance.

"We are from the Kingdom of Winter, you Fontaine have no right to arrest us!"

"Stop talking nonsense and be quiet!"

Tartaglia: “???”

"Wait a moment."

Tartaglia called out loudly to stop, then spoke.

"What do you mean by this, Fontaine? You arrested me, and now you want to arrest my people?!"

"Do you really think we, the Fatui, are easy to bully?!"

Faced with Tartaglia's questioning, the other party didn't care at all.

"They killed someone in Fontaine, why can't they be arrested?"

"Instead of worrying about them, you should worry about yourself, Mr. Tartaglia."

"You haven't been cleared of suspicion yet."

After hearing the other party's words, Tartaglia was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Fatui soldiers.

When the Fatui soldiers saw Tartaglia, they were filled with surprise and excitement.

"My Lord, it is so wonderful to see the whole of you again!"

But soon they discovered that Tartaglia was sitting in a wheelchair, and suddenly the expressions on their faces became a little sad again.

It’s over, it’s over, Master [Young Master]’s legs are broken and he will never be able to stand up again!

"Don't think too much. I'm just a little seriously injured. I'll be fine after I recover."

When Tartaglia saw the expressions on the faces of these Fatui soldiers, he knew that they were having wild thoughts, so he immediately explained and then continued asking.

"You killed someone in Fontaine?"

Tartaglia asked, and the Fatui soldiers immediately became extremely angry when they heard it.

"Sir, the man who died was a spy sent by the servant to hide among us!"

"That woman again!"

Tartaglia understood, he understood everything. It turned out that from the moment he arrived in Fontaine, he had been stepping into the opponent's trap step by step.

Now, Tartaglia seriously suspects that the reason for his arrest was also the work of that woman, Alechino.

Alechino, just wait for me. I will get the Heart of the God of Water before you, and then I will taunt you harshly!

Chapter 23: Big Pot Reservation

"Don't worry, I'll be here to save you soon!"

"You are my subordinates, Tartaglia. No one can catch you!"

Tartaglia assured his subordinates, but the fact that he was sitting in a wheelchair did not make him seem very credible.

"Don't dream. They killed someone in front of the security guards. No matter what, they will have to serve several years in prison before they can get out."

The security guard pushing the wheelchair expressed some disdain for Tartaglia's promise.

"Humph, you Fontaine are really boring."

"What's wrong with killing someone?"

"This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and the weak will only be dominated by the strong."

"Which of the [Executive Officers] like me didn't fight their way through a sea of ​​blood and corpses?"

"well said!"

The security guard immediately took out a small notebook.

"Go on, I'm taking notes."

"By the way, I suggest you provide more detailed information about the deceased."

"Don't worry, in our Fontaine, surrendering yourself can reduce your sentence."

Dadalia: "..."

……

"The case against Mr. Dardalia will now proceed [to trial]."

When the depressed-looking Tartaglia was pushed to the accused seat again in a wheelchair, Villette spoke loudly.

"The security team now accuses you, Mr. Tartaglia, of being the murderer of the deceased. Mr. Tartaglia, do you have any objection?"

"Of course I do. I, Tartaglia, always take responsibility for my actions!"

"I have killed many people, but he is definitely not one of them!"

Of course, it was impossible for Tartaglia to plead guilty just like that, so he retorted that it was just a reason to refute the other party, which was a little bit of a punishment.

The audience laughed. In fact, they had already started laughing when Tartaglia came out in a wheelchair.

It is rare in Fontaine’s history for someone to attend the [trial] in a wheelchair.

However, recently, people who have witnessed countless historic cases have expressed that they are still calm about it.

"Mr. Tartaglia, I need to remind you."

"If you want to refute the accusation, please provide relevant evidence."

Hearing what Villette said, Tartaglia spoke immediately.

"The person in charge of Northland Bank knows that I went to collect the debt. You can ask him."

Navillatte nodded to the security guards around him, and soon the head of the Northland Bank was called to the court for questioning.

"Sir, I just asked you to collect the debt. Why did you kill someone?"

Tartaglia: “???”

Tartaglia was completely stunned by this backstab.

"Mr. Supreme Judge, Lord Young Master may not understand the rules of Fontaine, so he killed someone in the street. Please be lenient with him!"

After hearing his words, the audience started talking again.

"I thought the Fatui would protect each other!"

"I feel like the person in charge of the Northland Bank has already determined that the murderer is the Young Master of the Fatui."

"If he was reported by one of his own people, is there any need to continue the trial?"

"This can be considered as killing one's relatives for the greater good!"

……

Tartaglia took a deep breath.

Okay, okay, this is how you play with him, right? Make him remember this!

"Sir, you can leave for now."

At Navillet's words, the head of the Northland Bank stood aside and watched the [trial].

I'm sorry, Sir [Young Master], you have offended Sir [Rich Man]!

"It seems that the criminal is the Fatui's [Executor]."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You've seen so many cases recently. Don't you know what will happen next?"

"But the suspects in those previous cases were all from Fontaine, but he's not."

"That's right."

……

"Mr. Tartaglia, do you have anything to refute?"

"I didn't kill anyone at all. How do you want me to prove that I didn't do it?!"

Tartaglia spoke a little anxiously. He felt that something was wrong. He wondered if he would really be convicted and sent to jail. That would be extremely embarrassing!

"The police force's investigation clues should have been shown to you, Mr. Tartaglia, before the trial. Mr. Tartaglia can use the clues he saw to refute the false accusations against you."

After hearing what Villette said, Tartaglia was stunned.

It seemed that the two guards before did show him something, but he got angry when he saw those two people, so how could he look at the things they handed over?

"I didn't see what would happen. You Fontaine can't really pin the crime on me, right?"

"Wrongly accusing an innocent person is not the fairness and justice that you Fontaine people are pursuing, right?"

That Villette looked at Tartaglia and shook her head slightly with some helplessness.

"Considering that Mr. Dadalia has not appointed an agent or lawyer and has not understood all aspects of the case, this [trial] is postponed to tomorrow."

After saying that, Villette stood up and left.

This result made the audience a little nervous. It was the first time they saw a young man like Tartaglia who didn't even read the case content and investigation results when the matter concerned his own innocence.

Everyone didn't know what to say about him, but considering that the Fatui had brought them so much fun today, everyone was quite tolerant of Tartaglia and finally left with just a little regret.

"Mr. Tartaglia, I suggest you choose a lawyer to defend you. Otherwise, judging from your performance today, your situation will be very dangerous tomorrow."

After the guard pushed Tartaglia to a temporary residence, he left a piece of advice for Tartaglia before leaving.

"Lawyer Aqiang has a high success rate. I suggest Mr. Dadalia give him priority."

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about how my subordinates are doing now."

Hearing Tartaglia's question, the guard spoke calmly.

"If Mr. Dardalia is found guilty tomorrow, they will be reunited in Melo Petersburg."

Dadalia: "..."

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. I hope Mr. Tartaglia can sleep well tonight."

After saying this, the security guard left immediately.

Tartaglia looked at the other person's leaving figure, stroking his chin in thought.

He definitely won't go to jail, as the deceased had nothing to do with him.

But he couldn't give up his new brothers, so it seemed that he had no choice but to find a way to break into the prison.

……

That Villette was standing on the platform behind the Mo Mang Palace, gazing into the distance to relax, but at this moment he felt familiar footsteps approaching from a distance and took a deep breath.

"Well, Villette, I heard that you presided over the trial of the Fatui's Executor Tartaglia today."

"That person might be related to the previous Gray River purge case."

Clorinde looked at Navelette who turned around and spoke in a very serious tone.

"I saw the photos of him doing it, and they look very similar to the person Navia described to me at the time. I'd like to hear your opinion."

After hearing what Clorinde said, Villette's expression became a little more serious.

The Grey River Purge cost the lives of thousands of Grey River residents, triggered countless marches and protests by the people of Fontaine, and even directly or indirectly led to the downfall or death of many powerful people. Although it did not have as great an impact on Fontaine as the No. 6 Incident, it can be regarded as a key event in the history of Fontaine.

Since that case, the atmosphere among Fontaine’s top management has improved a lot.

Although nobles who abuse their power still exist, they have restrained themselves a lot, which is much better than before.

However, the final outcome of this incident was full of doubts. Villette could see that Navia was hiding something, but he ultimately did not ask for the real reason.

Now, hearing Clorinde say that Tartaglia was likely related to the case, Villette immediately became nervous.
