《宋史·列传·卷七十四》
真定太守吕溱犯法，从官上章请求赦免他，韩绛说 ：实行法律应当从地位高的人开始，从官相继求情，这样就废除了公道。 
真定守吕溱犯法，从官通章请贳之，绛曰： 法行当自贵者始，更相请援，则公道废矣。 并劾诸请者，溱遂绌。
Lu Zhen, the prefect of Zhending, broke the law. The official Shangzhang requested his pardon, Han Jiang said: The implementation of the law should start from the high-ranking people. The officials successively asked for mercy, so justice was abolished.
