Yang Ge knew that the damned eunuch Pei Yu called Eunuch Wang had come to Road Pavilion merely to go through the motions.
The damned eunuch made no attempt to hide it, either. The moment he arrived at the relay station, he skillfully raised one man up while stepping on another, making his position perfectly clear to everyone: "Rest easy, gentlemen. I'm only here to go through the motions. Keep the music playing, keep the dancing going..."
But it seemed that, from the day bottom lines first came into existence, their purpose had been to be broken through and pushed ever lower.
The damned eunuch gave Yang Ge a vivid lesson in what it meant to go through the motions!
On the first day, the damned eunuch arrived at the western outskirts relay station.
Yang Ge assumed he would merely wash off the dust of the journey there, then enter the city looking fresh and presentable.
After all, however splendidly the flowers around the relay station were tended, it was still out in the wilderness, wasn't it?
But no, he wouldn't!
He stayed right there at the relay station, drinking, dancing, and making merry for an entire day and night.
Yang Ge actually stood waiting for them in the ice and snow for that entire day and night.
Only on the morning of the second day did the imperial envoy's grand procession finally enter Luting County.
Yang Ge figured that the damned eunuch ought to visit the County Yamen first, inspect the various documents, and at least put on a show, right?
But no, he wouldn't!
The moment he entered the city, he headed straight for the Road Pavilion relay station. Once inside, he buried himself in sleep-and slept for another entire day and night!
How did Yang Ge know
