歆守皋长，有报父仇贼自出，歆召囚诣閤，曰：“欲自受其辞。”即入，解械饮食，便发遣，遂弃官亡命，逢赦出，由是乡里服其高义。 |
| | Xin served as the governor of Gaochang, and there was a bandit who had committed revenge against his father. Xin summoned the prisoner to the hall and said, "I want to personally hear his confession." He immediately entered the hall, removed the prisoner's restraints and provided him with food and drink, then quickly released and sent him away. As a result, he abandoned his official post and fled to avoid punishment. When amnesty was later declared, he emerged from hiding; thus, the people of his hometown admired his noble sense of justice.

歆为相时，王新归国，宾客放纵，干乱法禁，歆将令尉入宫搜捕，王白上，歆坐左迁为汲令，卒官。 |
| | When Xin served as a chancellor, Wang Xin returned to the country. His guests behaved recklessly and violated legal prohibitions. Xin ordered the police officers to enter the palace to search and arrest them. Wang Xin reported this matter to the emperor, and Xin was therefore demoted to the position of county magistrate in Ji, where he eventually died in office.
