Chapter 10: The Price of Greed
Although he is a businessman, he is hopelessly in love with Kanhai. When he was a child, he would imagine what was on the other side of the sea, and now he has stepped on many places and knows what the other side of the sea looks like, but he still retains the habit of looking at the sea when he was a child.
The sea is not quiet tonight, and the moonlight is attached to the churning sea, which makes people panic. The sea in the darkness made him unable to see far away, and the cramped horizon made it impossible for his imagination to extend, he patted the sand on his body and got up to leave. Suddenly, a faint "help" came into his ears, he looked around and found a person lying on a beach, he quickly made some emergency ** to the person, and then brought the person back to his tent.
Many years later, he was glad that he had saved people, because his help had allowed the Egyptian named Jute to stay and help him with his work and business. Besides, he doesn't need to be paid, as long as he can be fed and clothed.
So when Judt left, he was very sad for a while. He remembered that they had gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and on the way Jut met the old man Maider, a rich man named Maider, and he felt that Jut should not be embarrassed, so he asked Jut to follow Maider.
When the two arrive at Maider's house, Jute is very worried about the situation at home, so Maider does a divination for him and discovers that his brothers are already in prison.
This made Jute secretly anxious. One day, Maid called Jute to his side and said, "My dear friend Jute, I know you can't let go of your relatives at home, let me give you the ring that I took out of the treasury, you know, there is a powerful devil in that ring, and if you have it, you will have almost anything in the world!" You wipe your ring, and the devil named Ralton Gosui will appear and pledge his allegiance to you. ”
Seeing that Jutt was still there, Maider wiped the ring, and Larton Gosui immediately showed his figure and said respectfully: "My master, what is the matter with you summoning me?" ”
Lardon Gosui, this is your new master," said Maider, pointing to Jutt, "and from now on, you will obey his orders!" ”
Do your bidding! ”
You, can you take me home? Judt asked.
Hahahaha, tell you, he's much faster than the mule you rode last time, and Ralton can get you home in one day, well, my brother, take care of the ring when you get back, it will be of great use to you! Maed said with a smile.
Ok bye! Jute waved to Maed, then said to Larton, "Take me home!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jute was already in the clouds, and large white clouds surrounded him like marshmallows, but Jute had no intention of admiring it. Finally, after a long flight, the familiar city came into Judt's eyes, and in a daze, he was already in the courtyard of his home.
He couldn't wait to go into the room and see his mother resting on the bed.
Mom! Judt's mother, though she was old and infirm, sat up at once like a sturdy lad when she heard the cry she had been waiting for.
Son, you're back! ”
Mom, it's okay, tell me, what's wrong with my brothers? ”
Judt's mother recounted what had happened, and Judt was heartbroken by the greed and cruelty of his brothers, and angry at the king's shamelessness, so he called to Ralton Gosui, and said, "Go, get my brother out." ”
Larton immediately turned into a puff of smoke and burrowed into the ground. After a while, Salle and Moyo appeared at their home, but perhaps they were so frightened by Larton that they passed out. It took a while to wake up.
As soon as the brothers opened their eyes, they saw the smiling face of their younger brother, and the brothers thought they were dreaming, but they heard Jute say, "Okay, okay, as long as you're okay." ”
Sale and Moyo were once again blessed by their brother, and they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and they said to Judt, "Brother, it's all our brother's fault, punish us!" ”
It's nothing, by the way, did the king torture you to extract confessions? ”
yes, he tortured us and snatched the bag. ”
Well, tomorrow the bag will be ours again! With that, Jute wiped his ring, and Larton immediately appeared in front of everyone, staring at them viciously.
Mom, save me, save me! As soon as Larton appeared, Salle and Moyo screamed at the same time, and they both thought that the devil had been called out by their brother to punish them, and they were so frightened that they begged for mercy.
Don't be afraid, kids! Mother comforted.
Jute didn't care about the ugliness of Salle and Moyo, and instructed Larton: "Go and bring me all the gold, silver, and jewels of the palace, and the two bags, and after you have done that, you will arrange for people to build a palace in this place, which will be bigger and more magnificent than the king's!"Finish by tomorrow morning, okay?”
Do your bidding! As soon as the words fell, Larton vanished.
A new day had begun, and the king had opened his eyes to the sunlight streaming in through the window, and he could not help but feel a little sad, for as he grew older, he kept recalling the past. Everyone thinks that being a king has endless wealth, but who knows how difficult it is to be the head of a country?
He kissed his wife's forehead, brushed his wife's hair on her forehead, got up and dressed, and today, there are many things to deal with by himself.
The moment he opened the door, the king said to himself in the sunshine that today would be a good day!As soon as this thought flashed through him, a guard outside the courtyard shouted, "King!King!”
What's the matter?The king asked.
Empty, empty!The guard said hurriedly.
To make it clear, what's empty?”
The treasury, the treasury where you store your gold, silver and jewelry!”
What?The king pushed away the guards and ran straight to the storehouse.
The great treasury was now empty, and the king stood in the treasury not knowing what to do, when another guard cried out, "King, king!"”
What's the matter?The king's words, which had always been calm, were already filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The brothers Salle and Moyo are gone!”
Can't you just handle these little things yourself, and use them to annoy me?”
King, King!Another guard shouted as he ran.
What's wrong with that?The king roared.
The city ......The city ......A palace has appeared in the city!The guard said in a trembling voice.
Palace?"King," said one of the guards standing up calmly, "I almost know what is going on. ”
(Tips: The full text ** can be read by clicking on the card at the end of the article).
The king looked at the guard and remembered that he was the same one who had exposed Sall and Moyo.
"I heard yesterday that Jutt has returned," the guard continued, "and in the middle of the night I saw many craftsmen working outside Judt's door, and that the palace should have been built by them, and that Judt's brother Salle and Moyo should have been rescued by Jute, and even the jewels in the treasury may have been stolen by Judt!."”
Someone, bring fifty soldiers to arrest Jute and his brothers!”
Yes!A guard named Emil Osman took the order.
Emil Usman, a notoriously foolish fool, led fifty soldiers to Judt's newly renovated palace. As one of the palace guards was sitting in front of the door, Emile Osman stepped forward and squinted his eyes and said with a big grin, "Hey, go and tell your master to come out to me!"”
When the guard heard this, he just gave Emile Osman a cold look.
When Emil Osman saw that the guard was so arrogant, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar and said, "Boy, are you impatient?"Dare to ignore me?”
Let go. The guard said calmly.
Hey, brothers, today we met someone who is not afraid of death!Emile Osman laughed with the other soldiers.
The guard glanced around at all the soldiers and said, "Want to do it?"With that, he pushed Emil Osman away.
Emile Osman** could stand this anger and beckoned the soldiers to rush forward together.
Usually they bully whoever they want to bully, but today they deserve to be unlucky, this guard is not a person to be messed with, and in a short time the soldiers were beaten and ran back to the palace with a shout.
Emil Usman reported the situation to the king, who, when he heard that his soldiers had been beaten, said: "Send a hundred men!"”
So someone led a hundred men to Jud's palace again, and not long after, they were beaten back again. The king was even more angry and said, "Two hundred men go!."”
So two hundred people came to the door of Judt's palace in a mighty way, and there was still no suspense in the end, and the two hundred people were beaten and fled back to the palace. The king was furious and said to the prime minister, "Take me five hundred men!"”
King, just go alone!The prime minister said calmly, he knew that this man could not be conquered by force.
The prime minister unsheathed his sword, changed into a simple set of clothes, came to the door of Jud's palace, walked up to the guard, bowed first, and then said respectfully: "Hello!".”
Human, what's the matter with you? ”
As soon as the prime minister heard what the other party called him, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The other party called himself a "human being", and defeated two hundred soldiers with the power of one person, which shows that the other party is either a god or a demon, no matter which one it is, the prime minister can't afford to provoke it. He said respectfully, "May I ask if your master is Jute?" ”
That's right! "Could you please help me tell him that King Shemu Daotu has hosted a banquet to welcome Jute back to his homeland, and I wonder if your master will be able to go to the banquet. ”
Then you wait a minute, I'll go in and report. With that, the guard entered the palace. After a while, the guard came out and said to the prime minister, "Go in, my master has something to say to you." ”
The prime minister saluted the guards and walked into Judt's palace. As soon as he entered the door, the prime minister was shocked by the furnishings of the whole palace, and with the respect of the prime minister of a country, he could only sigh at his poverty when he arrived here, and he thought that Judt's current power was something he could not afford to provoke.
While he was in a trance, Jute came to the main hall, sat down on a magnificent chair, and said to the prime minister, "May I ask what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”
King Shemu Daotu knows that you have returned from a foreign land, and a special banquet will be held for you to wash the dust, I wonder if you can attend? ”
Please thank the king for me, why don't you invite the king to come to me, and everyone will have a good time! ”
The prime minister agreed, and then prepared to leave the palace, but Jute stopped him.
The Prime Minister looked at Jutt in a daze, only to see Jute wipe his ring, and then order Larton to get a gorgeous dress. As soon as the words fell, a set of gorgeous clothes that the prime minister had never seen before appeared in his hand. Jute took the clothes from Larton's hand, came to the prime minister and said, "Thank you for coming to the Humble House, this is a little gift, not a tribute, not a tribute!" ”
The prime minister thanked him and withdrew from Jud's palace. He returned to the palace to meet the king without stopping, described to the king the magnificence of Judt's palace, and relayed Judt's invitation.
The king gladly agreed, and immediately went to Judt's palace with his guards.
Judt's servant was already standing outside the door, and when he saw the arrival of the king and his party, he immediately led them into the palace.
As soon as the king entered, he immediately felt a powerful murderous aura, and both sides of the road were full of majestic warriors, although there were as many as two hundred people, but none of them made a sound.
The king could not help but be a little frightened, such a strong team is not easy to deal with, he forced a smile to the main hall, and saw Jute sitting upright on a magnificent chair, the king looked around the palace, and found that the decoration was luxurious and magnificent, and could not help but respect Judt, and greeted Judt.
Surprisingly, Jute ignored the king as if he had not heard the king's greeting, and did not even let the servants settle down, and the king stood there in embarrassment. "He's taking revenge on me for imprisoning his two older brothers! The king thought to himself.
"The king," said Judt while the king was thinking, "it seems to me that a man like you should not torture the people under his rule, nor should he confiscate the property of the people. ”
I am also deeply repentant of this, when greed blinded my heart, and now, I sincerely ask for your forgiveness. ”
Jute had always been a generous man, and when he saw that the king apologized to himself and asked for forgiveness, he also forgave the king with indignation, and then set up a sumptuous feast, and the guests and hosts drank and talked happily.
From then on, the relationship between the king and Jute grew closer, and later the king married his daughter, Princess Asiyah, to Jud.
Soon after, the king died, and the whole country elected Jutt as king, and the country became more prosperous and powerful under his rule. Jute appointed his two elder brothers as prime ministers to govern the country together. But human desires can never be satisfied, especially for people like Sale and Moyo, who after a year as prime ministers, are increasingly unwilling to follow Judt's arrangement, and the brothers decide to seize Judt's throne and ring.
They invited Jute to their home for dinner, and then poisoned Jute to death in the meal, and Salle brutally cut off Judt's finger and snatched the ring.
Salle snatched the ring and wiped it, and the devil appeared before him and said, "My master, what do you want me to do?" ”
Salle laughed with joy and said, "Go, kill my brother Moyo!" ”
Under the deterrence of the ring, Sall successfully became king, but he was not satisfied, and wanted to marry his brother Jute's wife, Princess Asiye.
Princess Asiyah was not surprised to hear that Jute's brother was going to marry her, men are always like this, and when they get power, they have to own women immediately, or rather, the ultimate purpose of men having power is to have women.
She attended the wedding like an outsider, and her calm expression worried the ministers.
Finally, the banquet was over, and Salle, who was flushed, couldn't wait to pull Princess Assiye to the cave room. Princess Asiye accommodated him as well and served him with a smile on her face. However, when a woman faces the person she hates, her smile often hides a conspiracy, as in the case of Asiye now, who puts poison into the wine while smiling, and then serves it to Sale. Salle was already drunk to a pulp, and he drank it all in one gob, he didn't expect that the trick he had used on his brother Jute was sent back by Jud's wife Assiye, and when he realized that Asiye had given him poisoned wine, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and Salle died instantly.
Princess Assiye took the ring from Sall and smashed it to pieces, then she reported all the situation to the top magistrate of the country and asked them to re-choose the king, while herself, far from the palace and the city, spent the rest of her life in a small mountain village.
