Chapter 557 Strange servant, is this a reminder to Han Xin?

Wang Gui hastily advised Han Xin at this time, which was undoubtedly a risk. He might have cared about Han Xin, but this behavior violated the social norms of the time. Han Xin did not blame him simply because Wang Gui only advised him to drink and did not touch on other more sensitive topics.

"General, I am willing to accept the punishment. I just hope that you can take care of your health for the sake of the country in the southern border!"

Wang Gui felt relieved when he saw that Han Xin did not punish him, so he knelt down again and tried to persuade Han Xin. However, his actions irritated Han Xin, and Han Xin frowned.

"How dare you!" Han Xin shouted angrily, his voice exploding in Wang Gui's ears like thunder, "Are you really looking for death?"

Wang Gui was so frightened that he trembled all over. He immediately knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said, "General, please calm down. How dare I deceive you? My admiration for you is like the endless flow of the river and the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River. But I have a bad fate. I have been a eunuch since I was young. I cannot join the army like other men and follow you to fight on the battlefield. This is a great regret in my life!"

After saying this, Wang Gui did not forget to squeeze out a few tears to show his pity and helplessness.

Han Xin was slightly stunned after hearing Wang Gui's words. He didn't expect Wang Gui to be a eunuch. This was indeed beyond his expectations. However, this did not make Han Xin angry, but made him more curious about Wang Gui.

"Eunuch?" Han Xin frowned and looked at Wang Gui thoughtfully.

Wang Gui felt a little relieved when he saw that Han Xin did not get angry immediately. He continued, "General, although I am disabled, I have great ambitions and respect for you. I only have one thing to say. After I finish speaking, even if you kill me, I am willing to do so!"

Wang Gui's tone was extremely sincere, as if he really didn't care about life and death. This made Han Xin look at him with new eyes, thinking that this man might really have something important to say.

"Go ahead. I want to know what you want to say."

Han Xin's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Gui, as if he wanted to see through his eyes the true thoughts deep in his heart.

Wang Gui felt Han Xin's gaze, and his heart tightened, but he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said: "General, I naturally hope that you can prosper forever, but now someone is trying to harm you and put you in a disloyal and unjust situation. Please look into it!"

Han Xin frowned when he heard this. He didn't understand what Wang Gui meant by "disloyalty and unrighteousness", so he asked, "Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Wang Gui was relieved to see that Han Xin didn't seem to know the inside story, and continued, "I was also exiled to the southern border a few years ago, and I have heard about the Prime Minister's style of doing things. The Prime Minister is clear about rewards and punishments, but he doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, and doesn't allow people to pretend to obey but actually disobey. The general is naturally loyal to the Prime Minister, but someone took advantage of the relationship between the general and the Prime Minister, and used the general's name to help others get things done."

When Han Xin heard this, his face suddenly changed. His face, which was slightly red from drinking, turned pale in an instant, and he sobered up. He widened his eyes and looked at Wang Gui in disbelief. He obviously didn't expect that someone would use his name to do such a thing.

"You know what you're talking about!"

Han Xin's voice exploded like thunder, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces. The strong murderous aura quickly spread around, making people shudder.

Han Xin, this world-famous general, has long been a name that has been feared by all. His military exploits are so great that at least 80,000 enemy troops died directly or indirectly at his hands. Such a record made him the object of everyone's admiration and made his momentum extremely powerful.

However, facing Han Xin's roar, the villain was not afraid at all. He stood up straight and said righteously: "Every word I said is true, not a single word is false! In the general's mansion, subordinates often send various gifts such as wine, cloth, and jewelry. Although there is nothing valuable, the value of these things is definitely not cheap. General, think about it carefully. It is true that the officials in the southern border are rich, but there is a limit to how rich they can be! Every time they give something to the general, they either say it was obtained from suppressing bandits or said it was accidentally salvaged. But in this world, how can there be so many coincidences?"

He paused and continued, "General, you are kind-hearted and don't want to care about trivial matters, but as the saying goes, a little bit of accumulation makes a lot. If this continues for a long time, it may affect your reputation!"

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he slowly stood up. Han Xin was still immersed in Wang Gui's words, but suddenly he saw Wang Gui suddenly stand up, and he was also a little confused.

The next moment, Wang Gui suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Han Xin, and then clasped his fists and said, "General, I am of low status and my words do not carry much weight. But I really can't bear to see you get implicated because of such a small matter! But I also know that what I did is a violation of my superiors. Even if you forgive me today, I am afraid I will definitely die in the future! Please forgive me, General!"

After Wang Gui finished speaking, he turned around and rushed straight to the stone pillar without any hesitation. He was so fast, as if he had already made up his mind, that even Han Xin had no time to react. With a loud "bang", Wang Gui's head hit the stone pillar hard.

Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, gushing out like a fountain. Wang Gui's body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and he fell limply to the ground, without a trace of life left.

This sudden scene made Han Xin completely stunned. He stared with wide eyes, looking at everything in front of him in astonishment. Wang Gui's death was completely beyond his expectations. He never thought that Wang Gui would be so determined to end his life in this way.

But if you think about it carefully, Wang Gui's death is actually reasonable. It's like a commoner suddenly ran to Gao Yao, a powerful person, and spoke ill of Han Xin, Xiao He and others without restraint. This kind of thing sounds simple, but once it really happens, the end of the person who opened his mouth is bound to be death.

If anyone could frame an important official under Gao Yao, Gao Yao would believe it, and he would not need to do anything. This is why, after thousands of years of inheritance, no one approves of reporting to a higher level. Even ordinary people who report to officials basically report to the higher level one level at a time. There is a high probability that people who report to a higher level will be dead before they even see the real owner. There are many factors involved.
