Time flew by, and before one knew it, another month passed, and it was time for King Zu Bailu to consider holding a banquet for the people again.According to the imperial decree, the officials prepared an extremely rich and delicious banquet in advance as usual, placed it in the square, and invited the people in the city to attend the banquet on time. On that day, King Zu Bailu came to the square in person, sat in the chief seat of the reception desk, and instructed the ministers to entertain the guests.Beside her stood a contingent of well-armed soldiers, serving and defending her cautiously.The whole banquet was magnificent and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.The common people who participated in the banquet came in an endless stream, and soon sat down around the table in order.This time everyone still had lingering fears, and they did not dare to sit down near Tangfan, let alone eat Tangfan, for fear of being killed.Many relatives and friends among the guests sat together, greeted each other as soon as they met and talked:

"Hello." "Hello!" "Remember, don't touch Tangfan! Sit far away, otherwise, you will be hanged." After the lesson of last time, people are well aware and dare not act rashly. Everyone sat down around the table honestly.Every banquet table in the square was full of people, and there was no empty seat.The banquet begins, and everyone chooses their favorite dishes to enjoy.King Zu Bailu saw that people were eating deliciously, so he tilted his head alone and observed everyone's behavior attentively.At this moment, an uninvited visitor staggered into the square. King Zu Bailu took a closer look and immediately recognized that this person was the one who robbed him, and he also killed a cavalryman.This guy is the gangster Cudi.

The bandit Cudi suddenly appeared in the square, and it was a trap for himself.He dug his own grave, and the reason for this was that the very night he snatched Zubailu into the cave, he left Zubailu in his mother's custody, and then rushed to his leader and the mob Annunciation.He told the gangsters: "Last night I made a big deal and made a lot of money easily. I not only killed a soldier, robbed his horse and weapons, but also took a girl and a bag of gold and silver. Got it. In my opinion, the girl is worth more than the bag of gold and silver. Now, the girl and the gold and silver treasures are hidden in the cave outside the city, and my mother is watching there. This time we can have a good time Enjoy the beauty."

After hearing the good news reported by Cudi, the group was very excited from the leader to the subordinates.In the evening of the same day, the bandits followed Cudi to the cave in groups. Cudi was dazzled by the victory, and he wanted to show off the looted dirt for the gangs to share, but when he went in At that time, unexpectedly, the cave was already empty, the girl, gold and silver he had robbed, the war horse, weapons, etc. were all gone.He asked his mother about the situation, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth with hatred, very frustrated, and screamed: "I swear to Allah, I must catch this little whore, even if she hides in the shell of a dried fruit, I will also drag her out, so that I can vent my hatred."

The bandit Cudi swore a poisonous oath, determined to find Zubailu and take revenge. He traveled tirelessly from one place to another, traveled all over the city and countryside, and finally came to the place where Zubailu was in power. In this kingdom.On the day he entered the city, the king Zu Bailu was entertaining the people, and every house in the city was so deserted that no one could be seen.He looked up and down, and finally found a woman standing by the window, and asked her about the departure of other people in the city.The woman told him that every month at the beginning of the month, the king held a banquet to entertain the common people, so people went to the banquet to eat and drink, and pointed out to him the place of the banquet.So he rushed to the square in a hurry, trying to mix in with the residents of the city and have a big meal.

He ran into the square, looked up, and saw that people were already sitting around the table, eating to their heart's content.At the banquet, only the table that Bersu sat at last time was left, and there was a seat near Tangfan that was still vacant.So he sat down unceremoniously, reached out to grab the sugar rice, and ate it hungrily. The people at the same table screamed together and said, "Brother! What are you going to do?" "I want to eat this plate of sugar rice to fill my stomach." Cudi replied carelessly. "Whoever eats this will be hanged," someone warned him.

"Shut your mouth, don't talk nonsense here." Cudi didn't care so much, and simply reached out and moved the sugar rice in front of him to eat. At this moment, the big smoker sitting next to him saw him grab Tangfan in front of him, his face paled in fright, he suddenly jumped up in panic, left his seat far away, and muttered: "What are we doing?" You need such a wretched thing!" Cudi stretched out his black crow-like palm, grabbed a handful of sugar rice from the plate and held it in his hand.As soon as the palm of his grasping rice stretched out from the plate, it immediately became like a camel's hoof.He squeezed his fingers vigorously, squeezed out the sugar rice between his fingers, kneaded it into a big orange-like rice ball, and then stuffed it into his mouth like a jujube, without chewing, and swallowed it whole.Every time he swallowed, he made a loud noise.The people at the same table were very disgusted by his vulgarity and recklessness, and they were all shocked and frightened.Soon, he devoured all the sugar rice balls. Seeing the situation, a diner on his left sighed:

"Praise Allah, he told you to grab most of the sugar rice, that's good, we don't seem to suffer because of this sugar rice." "Let him eat it! In my eyes, he is already a hanged zombie." The big smoker joked along with the excitement.Then he turned to Cudi and scolded: "You just eat! I'm afraid you can't eat and you have to walk around!" Just when Cudi stretched out his hand for the second time, grabbed another handful of sugar rice from the plate, held it in his palm, and squeezed his fingers to pinch the rice balls to satisfy his hunger just like the first time, the king Zu Bailu shouted: "Hurry up and catch that guy who eats sugar rice, don't let him take a second bite."

The attendant obeyed his order and rushed over, taking advantage of the other party's unguardedness, caught him by surprise, picked up the gangster who was still eyeing Tangfan, and brought him to the king.At this moment, the people at the same table were all gloating, and they started talking about it.Someone said conclusively: "I have warned him, who told him not to listen to the advice? He really deserved what happened to him! He is not worthy of sympathy. Obviously, everyone who sits in this seat deserves to be unlucky, eat this plate People who eat sugar and rice are also doomed to die."

"Who are you? What do you do? What are your intentions in coming to our country?" King Zubailu began to interrogate Cudi. "Report to His Majesty the King: The name of the untouchable is Asman. I used to take care of the flowers and trees in the garden, but I came out to look for them because a few things were missing." The bandit Kudi hurriedly lied to the king, trying to deceive the pass. "Bring me the sand table and copper pen!" King Zu Bailu ordered the attendants. The attendant obeyed and immediately brought a sand table and a copper pen.So the king Zu Bailu picked up the copper pen, kept writing and drawing in the sand table, and began to divination solemnly.After being busy for a while, she pretended to check the sand table again, calculated once, then raised her head, looked at Cudi, and said, "You damned shameless person! How dare you talk nonsense in front of me! The divination is very clear , your name is Cudi, and you are a gangster who murders, robs, commits all kinds of crimes, and commits heinous crimes."

King Zubailu exposed Cudi's details on the spot, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "You pig! If you don't confess truthfully again, I will cut off your pig's head." When Cudi heard the king's assertion, his face turned pale with fright, his whole body trembled, his teeth chattered with each other, knowing that he could no longer hide his denial and escape punishment.Only by confessing the crime honestly, there is still a glimmer of hope, and maybe he can be punished lightly or survive. Thinking of this, he had no choice but to bow his head and confess, honestly: "Your Majesty's assertion is absolutely true, without the slightest mistake. The untouchables have committed a lot of evil, and they really deserve death. But now I have sincerely repented and am determined to change my past." Renew my heart, change my mind, and sincerely convert to Allah. I also ask His Majesty to forgive me for my great sin." "I'm sorry! You have been harming the world for a long time like the plague, and now you are full of evil. You have brought the blame on yourself. I am determined not to let you do evil in the world again." King Zubailu clearly ordered the death penalty for the bandit Cudi, Immediately he ordered his attendants: "Drag him down, hang him first, and then treat his body the same way you did with Bersu last time." The attendant obeyed his order and immediately dragged away the bandit Cudi. Looking at the scene, people couldn't help being both happy and surprised, looking at each other, speechless.In particular, the big smoker felt deeply about this, he was bored and hated Tangfan, and felt a kind of fear of turning pale.Turning his back to the plate of sugar rice, he said to himself: "From now on, if I look at you directly again, it will be the biggest taboo, and I will be unlucky for eight lifetimes." The gangster Cudi was sentenced to death, and after being dragged away, the turmoil subsided. The banquet continued, and the guests continued to eat and drink, until everyone was full, and then they left happily.King Zu Bailu also led the monarchs, ministers and guards, and returned to the palace contentedly, and each rested.
