又與劉廞結交，託廞弟粹於徐州殺趙紹。 He also befriended Liu Yin and had Yin's younger brother Cui kill Zhao Shao at Xuzhou.

後劉廞伏法於洛陽，粹以徐州叛，官軍討平之，梟粹首於鄴市。 Later Liu Yin was executed at Luoyang; Cui rebelled in Xuzhou, government troops put him down, and his head was displayed in the Ye market.

遊道時為司州中從事，令家人作劉粹所親，於州陳訴，依律判「許」而奏之。 Youdao was then Central Army aide in Si Province; he had his household pose as Liu Cui's relatives, sue in the province, obtain a legal ruling of "permitted," and memorialized it.
