This footman said to them, 'I belong to Sharaf Beg, the servant of Khwaja Shah Mansur. He is the Khwaja's shikkdar in his jagir of Firozpur, thirty kos from Lahore. These letters are to be delivered to the Khwaja; as my feet are in a bad state, do you convey the letters quickly to him.' These letters my men have brought to me." When the secretary opened them, one was a letter from Sharaf Beg to Khwaja Mansur, about the affairs of Firozpur, and the other was a letter from one person to another person, and of the following purport: "I met Faridun Khan, and he carried me to wait upon Muhammad Hakim Badshah. Although he had sent his revenue collectors into all the parganas of this quarter, he has not sent any to ours, but has held us exempt." On hearing and considering these letters, it appeared to His Majesty that Sharaf Beg had written one of them to Khwaja Mansur, and that the other was certainly connected with the coming of Mirza Muhammad Hakim's diwan, Malik Sani, to Khwaja Mansur. Many of the amirs and officers of State were on bad terms with the Khwaja, and these exerted their influence to secure his death. So the Emperor gave the order for his execution, and he was hanged next morning. - [Previous: 76.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.2) - [Next: 76.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.4) - [Up: 76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.76.3) · Pramāṇa
