A thin sharp-faced man with a weaselly appearance who ran the only pawnshop in town. He initially dismissed Tang Qing'er due to her appearance but became interested when he saw the velvet gift box. He offered only 5 taels for a live pledge and 10 taels for a dead pledge on the liuli glasses. He then plotted with his assistant to rob Tang Qing'er of the items after she left the shop.
