Bian Jingcheng and Yang Zhi sell knives.

Yang Zhi came to Tokyo to make up for the temple political system, but Gao Qiu got in the way and failed to do so. Because the travelling expenses were exhausted, they reluctantly sold the precious knives left by their ancestors and changed some travelling expenses to other places. But it happened that the cow that had broken into caterpillars made things difficult again and again, cutting copper coins with a knife and pulling out its own hair to do experiments, and unreasonably asked Yang Zhi to cut people to try. Yang Zhi said that he would chop down a dog, but Niu Er refused, insisting on giving it to Yang Zhi for nothing. Yang Zhi was furious and the two men fought. Yang Zhi killed Niu Er. Yang Zhi asked the neighborhood to testify and turned himself in to Kaifeng. As a result, he was expelled from the army and Bao Dao did not join the government.

Wisdom wins the birth class

Yang Zhi was sent by Liang Shijie (Liang Zhongshu) to escort the Birth Gang to Tokyo. In mid-May, it was very hot, but Yang Zhi told his entourage to stay late and go to bed early. They were all complaining. When they arrived at Huangnigang, they got off the bus and had a rest despite Yang Zhi's dissuasion. Wu Yong and others turned into jujube merchants and also rested here. Bai Sheng dressed up as a liquor seller and peddled along the road. Yang Zhi was worried that the wine was poisonous and wouldn't let the sergeant buy it. Wu Yong and others bought a bucket to drink first, then scooped a ladle from another bucket and took the opportunity to take medicine. Yang Zhi and others don't understand. They buy drinks in a daze. As a result, they fainted one by one, and all the birth classes were taken away by Wu Yong and others.
