是時，茂陵守令尹公新視事，涉未謁也，聞之大怒。
The new Maoling prefect Yin had not been visited; when he heard, he raged.
知涉名豪，欲以示眾厲俗，遣兩吏脅守涉。
Knowing Yuan She's fame, Yin posted two bailiffs on him to teach the town a lesson.
會涉所與期上塚者車數十乘到，皆諸豪也，共說尹公。
Dozens of chariots of his grave-appointment allies roared in and pleaded with Yin.
尹公不聽，諸豪則曰：「原巨先奴犯法不得，使肉袒自縛，箭貫耳，詣廷門謝罪，於君威亦足矣。」
Yin refused; they offered, "Since the guilty slave cannot be caught, let Yuan She strip, bind himself, thread his ear with an arrow, and kowtow at your gate—that should satisfy your authority."
尹公許之。
Yin agreed.
初，涉與新豐富人祁太伯為友，太伯同母弟王游公素嫉涉，時為縣門下掾，說尹公曰：「君以守令辱原涉如是，一旦真令至，君復單車歸為府吏，涉刺客如雲，殺人皆不知主名，可為寒心。
Yuan She had befriended Qi Taibo, a wealthy man of Xinfeng. Taibo's younger maternal half brother, Wang Yougong, had always resented Yuan She and was then a clerk in the county office. He told Yin, "As acting magistrate, you have humiliated Yuan She. Once the permanent magistrate arrives, you will return alone by cart to your old post as a commandery clerk. Yuan She's assassins are as numerous as clouds, and when they kill, no one ever knows who ordered it. The thought should chill you.
尹公如其計，莽果以為真令。
Yin followed the advice; Wang Mang gave him the full prefecture.
