《汉书·传·张汤传》
办理的案件如果是皇上想要加罪的，就把它交给执法严苛的监吏办理；所办案件如果是皇上想要宽容的，他就把案子交给执法轻平的监吏去办。
所治即上意所欲罪，予监吏深刻者；即上意所欲释，予监吏轻平者。
If the case being handled was one in which the emperor wanted the person to be punished, he would hand it over to a supervising official who enforced the laws strictly. If the case being handled was one in which the emperor wanted leniency, he would hand it over to a supervising official who enforced the laws leniently.
