《王曾判田》

王曾丞相,少时谒郡僚,有争负郭田者,封畛既泯,质剂且亡,未能断决。曾谓验其税籍,曲直可判。郡将从之,其人乃服。

When the Prime Minister Wang Zeng was a young man, he once went to pay his respects to the officials of the Prefecture. At that time there was a case involving a dispute over the ownership of some fields in the vicinity of the city. The boundary marks were gone and the title deeds were lost. A decision could not be reached. Wang suggested that an examination of the records of land taxes ought to show who the rightful owner was. His proposal was accepted and the one who had no real claim on the fields admitted his guilt.
