Chapter 57 The story of the dyer and the barber-14

After Eppy hooked out of the bathhouse, he rode a mule straight to the palace to meet the king.He said to the king: "Your Majesty, the servant has come to tell you the truth." "What good advice is there?" asked the king. "Has His Majesty built a bathhouse?" "That's right! A stranger came to see me, and his situation was similar to yours, so I also helped him build a bathhouse. The bathhouse was built magnificently, and it added a lot of splendor to my city." He described the various advantages of the bathhouse. "Has Your Majesty ever been to the bathhouse?"

"Been there." "Bless Allah, fortunately His Majesty has not been plotted against by that dirty bathhouse owner." "why would you say so?" "Tell you, Your Majesty! If you go to the bathhouse again in the future, you have to be more careful." "why?" "Because the owner of the bathhouse is a traitor, he has no good intentions in begging you to build that bathhouse for him. He wants to poison you in it. He has a poison, and he will give it to you when he has the opportunity. He will say to you: 'Put it on the armpits, it is the most effective hair-plucking agent.' It is only a deadly poison. The king of Christianity promised the villain that he would release his hair if he poisoned his majesty. Wife and children, his wife and children are still captives in the hands of the Christian king. When I was captured, I was locked up with him. Later, I washed and dyed those heathen, and they interceded for me and asked for forgiveness. At that time, the king Ask me: 'What do you want?' I begged him to give me my freedom, so I got out of trouble and wandered here. The other day I met him in the bathhouse and asked: 'Why are you here? What about your wife and children?' He said :'They are still prisoners!' He also said:

’ One day, the Christian king was in court, and I was on trial. Hearing the officials talking about state affairs, the king sighed and said: ‘I am only threatened by that king in the world.If anyone can kill that king, I will reward him with whatever he wants. ’ I took the opportunity to go up to the king and said: ‘If I kill the king for your majesty, can your majesty restore the freedom of our family? ’ The king said: ‘Yes!I'll do it, and I'll give you whatever you want. ' So I agreed to assassinate him, and he sent me here by boat, and I begged the king, who built me ​​this bathhouse.Now everything is ready, just wait for the king to be killed, and I can be reunited with my family. '

I asked him: 'How are you going to murder the king? ’ He said: ‘It couldn’t be simpler, because the king has to go to the bathhouse to take a bath. I have prepared a poison for him. When he comes, I will offer it to him and say to him:’Please use this Hair spray, it works great. ’ As soon as he applied it, the toxin would soak his heart overnight, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was done. ' After listening to his talk, I am very worried for His Majesty.Your Majesty has treated me so well, I came here to inform you in return. " The king was very angry when he heard Aipi Gou's slander, and ordered: "You must not leak the news." So he ordered his attendants to accompany him to the bathhouse to take a bath, intending to find out for himself.
