《宋史·列传·卷七十一》
曾公亮说： 这是禁物，偷取银子虽然是强盗行为，与从百姓家中盗取财物有区别。 为此事展开争论，于是就下达给有司议论，比照抢劫盗窃财物的法律，盗取银子不判死刑。
公亮曰： 此禁物也，取之虽强，与盗物民家有间矣。 固争之，遂下有司议，比劫禁物法，盗得不死。
Zeng Gongliang said: This is a forbidden item; although stealing silver is a robbery, it is different from stealing money from people's homes. The matter was debated, so it was handed down to the competent authorities for discussion, while comparing it to the law on robbing and stealing money, stealing silver would not be punishable by death.
