Also referred to as the registrar or Master Feng, he was a scholar sent by the county magistrate to oversee the river work. He initially dismissed Taohua's dream as superstition and refused to pause work. He stepped boldly into the river to prove her wrong but was caught in a huge whirlpool. After being rescued by Qin Feng, he became deeply grateful, bowed to the couple, and offered them future assistance at the county office. He noticed Qin Feng's bravery and considered recruiting him for a minor yamen position.
