The Tong'an County Magistrate under the jurisdiction of Shangjing. He was summoned to court and broke into a cold sweat upon arrival. He presided over a previous case where Tang Qiunian was bullied and falsely accused. He claimed that two deceased women (a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law) died from accidentally ingesting poison, citing an unlogged coroner's autopsy report. He lacked composure compared to Fang Jinghe and appeared full of flaws during the interrogation.
