The ruthless and rapacious Gurgín Khán, the deputy governor,
induced the Sháh to issue a second summons ordering that the captive Youth be
sent in disguise to Tihrán, accompanied by a mounted escort. To this written
mandate of the sovereign the vile Gurgín Khán, who had previously discovered
and destroyed the will of his uncle, the Mu‘tamid, and seized his property,
unhesitatingly responded.
