At first the second-in-council refused credence to the report, asserting that these people were too much their friends; it was a mere invention, and he was assured they were incapable of playing them such a nasty trick. Oh! the simplicity of mankind, who remain undisturbed at the very moment when being betrayed in the blackest manner! Thus, even while he was speaking, the brother-in-law of Sulaiman Khan returned, followed by a body of cavalry. Asking for the officer on guard, the corporal appeared and said he was in command. Thereupon the treacherous man, without another word, drew his sword and delivered three blows on the corporal's head. Feeling himself wounded, the latter fired upon his assailant. But the aim was spoiled by another horseman throwing himself between them, so that only the assailant's quiver was shot off. - [Previous: 281.28.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.28.5) - [Next: 281.28.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.28.7) - [Up: 281.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.28.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.28.6) · Pramāṇa
