The county magistrate, also referred to as Lord Jiang. He wears a deep purple official robe and is known for being considerate of his subordinates, granting rest days based on the length of assignments. He has never eaten at the county yamen kitchen before, always dining on meals from the magistrate's household. He is buried in official documents piled high like a mountain at Qingfeng Hall. He is alert and discerning, noticing the unusual food aroma drifting from the kitchen. He is also the father of Jiang Hongwen, about whom he feels a trace of helplessness due to the boy's mischievous nature.
