Male, the magistrate/prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture. Has close ties with the Bai family (Bai is the official wife of Minister Li). Saw through Li Jingting's scheming and biased the punishment in Gu Qingyan's favor. Ordered Li Jingting to take twenty strikes while Gu Qingyan only had to copy the Classic of Filial Piety. Showed satisfaction with his judgment.
