Yang Zhi is a descendant of the famous Yang family general. Because of the green birthmark on his face, he was nicknamed "Green-faced Beast Yang Zhi". He was skilled in martial arts since elementary school and became an army officer when he grew up. At that time, Emperor Huizong wanted to build a Long Live Mountain with exotic flowers and stones from the south, so the palace commander's office sent ten officers to the Taihu Lake to escort the stones. The other nine officers all returned smoothly, but Yang Zhi encountered a storm and capsized his boat while crossing the Yellow River. Yang Zhi came back empty-handed. Taiwei Gao Qiu had a nose that was neither a nose nor a face, so he drove Yang Zhi out of the Palace Commander's Mansion.
Yang Zhi wanted to look for opportunities elsewhere, but he had no money, so he had to sell his ancestral sword. He was embarrassed to shout, so he put a grass mark on the scabbard, so that others would know that the knife was for sale. He stood on the bridge for a while, and suddenly the pedestrians fled away, and a gangster named Niu Er came. This guy always caused trouble, and everyone was afraid of him. Yang Zhi sells knives
The Niu Er stepped forward and took out Yang Zhi's knife, "How much does it cost you to sell this knife?" Yang Zhi said: "The treasured sword left by our ancestors costs three thousand knives." "Niu Er pouted, "What's so good about this broken knife?" Yang Zhi said: "The first is that it cuts copper and iron. ．"
Niu Er ran to the shop under the bridge and brought twenty copper coins, folded them into a pile on the bridge railing, and said to Yang Zhi, "If you can chop the copper coins with one knife, I will do it. I'll give you three thousand coins!"
Yang Zhi said, "What's the matter?" He rolled up his sleeves, aimed accurately, and chopped the twenty copper coins in half with one stroke. Everyone onlookers cheered in unison.
Niu Er shouted to everyone: "What are you making fun of?" and asked Yang Zhi: "Tell me, what is the second benefit?"
"The second one is called "I'm good at blowing hair." He took some hair and blew it on the knife edge, and it immediately broke into two pieces. "I don't believe it!" Niu Er pulled out a handful of hair on his head and handed it to him. Yang Zhi, "Blow it to me!"
Yang Zhi took the hair and blew it hard on the knife edge. The hair really split into two and floated over the knife edge. Everyone cheered again, and now more and more people were watching.
Niu Er asked about the third benefit. Yang Zhi said: "The third thing is called 'killing without showing blood'."
"How about 'killing without showing blood'?"
"Chop someone with a knife, but there is no blood on the knife There is no blood because the knife is too fast."
Niu Er said: "I don't believe it. Go and chop someone and let me see."
Yang Zhi said: "It's just for no reason. Dare to kill someone? If you don’t believe me, bring me a dog and I’ll kill it for you.” Niu Er said, “You said ‘killing a dog without showing blood’!” /p>
Yang Zhi became impatient, "If you don't want to buy it, just pull it down. Why are you so bothersome?"
Niu Er grabbed Yang Zhi and said, "I want to buy your knife!"< /p>
"If you want to buy it, bring me the money."
"I have no money!"
"Why are you holding on to me if you don't have money?"
Niu Er acted rogue, "I want your knife!"
"I won't give it to you!"
Yang Zhi broke away, pushed it, and Niu Er pushed him down.
Niu Er got up and said, "Come on, if you're a hero, just chop me." He then came to take the knife from Yang Zhi's hand. Yang Zhi was extremely angry, but Niu Er punched and kicked him again. Yang Zhi then shouted to everyone: "Everyone has seen that I, Yang Zhi, have no choice but to sell knives here. This gangster is unreasonable and wants to steal my knife and beat me!" Niu Er said: "I'll beat you to death." How about it?" He said and punched again. The beating made Yang Zhi feel "fire rising in his heart, and anger rising in his guts." In a flash of cold light, the rogue Niu Er fell under the ancestral sword of the Yang family - and as expected, there was no blood on the blade.
Yang Zhi is really a good man, and he will not run away even if he gets into trouble. He said to the people watching: "I killed someone, you can accompany me to surrender." So everyone followed Yang Zhi to Kaifeng Mansion to help Then Yang Zhi told what happened. Everyone in the government admired Yang Zhi and were glad that there was no more harm on the streets of Tokyo. Therefore, Yang Zhi was not asked to pay for his life and was lightly sent to Daming Prefecture in Beijing to stay in the army.
Also in exile, Yang Zhi was more comfortable than Lin Chong. Neighbors who suffered from Niu Er's troubles all pooled money to pay for Yang Zhi's expenses. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, the businessmen, were also very reasonable. Daming Mansion was not as far away as Cangzhou and they arrived in a few days.
Liang Zhongshu, the local official of Daming Prefecture, was the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the grand master of the dynasty. On this day, two businessmen brought Yang Zhi to the left-behind department office and presented him with official documents from Kaifeng Mansion. Liang Zhongshu looked at the prisoner: Hey, this guy looks familiar! Liang Zhongshu met Yang Zhi when he was in Tokyo. After asking about Yang Zhi's case, Liang Zhongshu immediately ordered the yoke to be opened and left Yang Zhi by his side for use. Not long after, Liang Zhongshu was training the city's soldiers and horses outside Dongguo Gate, deliberately letting Yang Zhi compete with the officers. Yang Zhi first defeated Zhou Jin, the second-in-command, and then replaced Zhou Jin. Suo Chao, nicknamed "Vanguard", refused to accept it, "If he beats me, I will let him be my real soldier!" Suo Chao and Yang Zhi each showed their skills, and after more than fifty rounds of fighting, they still couldn't decide the winner. , Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed and promoted both of them to military governors
