Outline of the story of Yang Zhi selling knives

Yang Zhi is a descendant of the famous Yang Jiajiang. Because there is a blue birthmark on his face, he has a nickname "Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast". He grew up learning martial arts and became an officer. At that time, Emperor Hui Zong wanted to build a Long Live Mountain with exotic flowers and stones in the south, so the palace master sent ten officials to escort these stones to Taihu Lake. The other nine officers returned smoothly, but Yang Zhi capsized when crossing the Yellow River. Yang Zhi returned empty-handed, and Qiu's nose was not his face, so he kicked Yang Zhi out of the house.

Yang Zhi wanted to find another opportunity elsewhere, but he had no money, so he had to sell his ancestral treasure knife. He was embarrassed to shout, so he put a straw label on the scabbard, and others knew that the knife was for sale. He stood on the bridge for a while, but pedestrians suddenly dodged, and a rogue named Niu Er came over. This guy is always making trouble, and everyone is afraid of him.

The second cow stepped forward and pulled out Yang Zhi's knife. "How much do you charge for this knife?" Yang Zhi said, "The treasure knife left by our ancestors costs 3,000 yuan." Niuer curled his lips. "This broken knife have what good? So expensive? " Yang Zhi said, "There are three advantages. The first thing, chop copper and iron, the blade does not roll ... "

Niu Er ran to the shop under the bridge and got twenty coppers, piled them on the railing of the bridge, and said to Yang Zhi, "If you can chop up the coppers with one knife, I will give you three thousand crowns!" " Yang Zhi said, "Nothing." He rolled up his sleeves, aimed accurately, and split twenty copper coins in half with one knife. The onlookers cheered in unison.

Niu Er shouted to the crowd, "Are you kidding?" He asked Yang Zhi again, "What do you think is the second advantage?" "The second one is called' Blowing your hair too hard'. Blow some hair on the blade and it will break in two at once. " "I don't believe it!" Niu Er tore off a handful of hair from his head and handed it to Yang Zhi. "Show me!" Yang Zhi took the hair and blew it hard on the knife edge. The hair really split in two and floated across the knife edge. Everyone cheered again, and more and more people watched.

Niu Er asked the third benefit. Yang Zhi said, "The third one is called' Killing people without seeing blood'." "What is' murder without blood'?"

"I cut a man with a knife, but there was no blood on the knife because the knife was too fast." Niuer said, "I don't believe it. Go and cut a person, let me see. " Yang Zhi said, "Who dares to kill for no reason? If you don't believe me, find a dog and I'll kill you. " Niu Er said, "You said' Kill without bloodshed', not' Kill without bloodshed'!" Yang Zhi is impatient. "If you don't want to buy, forget it. Why are you pestering me? " Niu Er grabbed Yang Zhi, "I insist on buying your knife!" "If you want to buy, bring money." "I have no money!" "Why did you arrest me when I had no money?" Niu Er is a scoundrel. I want your knife! "I won't give it to you!"

Yang Zhi broke free and pushed Niuer with a comfortable push. Niu Er stood up and said, "Come on, if you are a hero, cut me." Come and grab the knife from Yang Zhi. Yang Zhi was so angry that Niu Er punched and kicked him again. Yang Zhi shouted to the crowd, "As everyone can see, I, Yang Zhi, can't help selling knives here. This rascal tried to grab my knife and hit me! " Niu Er said, "What if I kill you?" Said another punch. When Yang Zhi was beaten, "Fire rises from the heart, anger is longer than bravery", he saw a flash of cold light, and the rogue Niu Er fell under the treasure knife handed down by Yang Jiazu-the blade was not stained with blood.

Yang Zhi is really a hero. Even though he was in trouble, he didn't run away. He said to the crowd, "I killed someone. Come with me and turn yourself in. " So they followed Yang Zhi to Kaifeng House to help Yang Zhi tell stories. The imperial court admired Yang Zhi from top to bottom, and was glad that the streets of Tokyo had lost one harm since then, so he didn't want Yang Zhi to pay for his life and sent him to the left-behind department of Daming House in Beijing to serve as an army.

Being demoted to the army, Yang Zhi was more comfortable than Lin Chong. On weekdays, neighbors who suffered from the scourge of Niu Er pooled their money to pay for Yang Zhi's trip, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were also very reasonable. Daming mansion is not as far away as Cangzhou, and it will arrive in a few days.

Liang Zhongshu, a local official of Daming Mansion, is the son-in-law of Cai Jing, and Cai Jing is a surname of Ming Dynasty. On this day, two business trips brought Yang Zhi to the left-behind department and brought him official documents from Kaifeng. Liang Zhongshu looked at the prisoner: Hey, this man looks familiar! Liang Zhongshu met Yang Zhi when he was in Tokyo. Ask Yang Zhi's situation clearly, and Liang Zhongshu immediately ordered to open the cangue, so he left Yang Zhi with him for a rainy day. Not long after, he was training outside Dongguo Gate, deliberately letting Yang compete with the officers. Yang Zhi first defeated Zhou Jin, the deputy army, and then took Zhou Jin's place. Suo Chao, nicknamed "Deep Water Bomb", refused. "If he hits me, I will make him a real army!" Suo Chao and Yang Zhige each showed their magical powers, and after more than 50 rounds, they couldn't tell the outcome. Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed and promoted them to the posts of Ambassador of Guan Jun.
