Also known as Lord Hai, he is the county magistrate of Ji City. He has served as an official for over a decade and is described as a just, conscientious man who cares for the people. He was deeply troubled by the plague outbreak, having already dealt with a famine earlier in the year. He summoned all doctors in the city but none could find a cure. He was desperate when Yu An brought Shopkeeper Wu and Shen Qingwan with the prescription.
