李昊 / Li Hao (late Han)
李昊 appears in Hanji 902 as the official whose unlawful conduct is discovered by 苏谦. The episode says Li uses Su Qian’s unauthorized capital complaint as a procedural vulnerability and kills him before the complaint succeeds, creating 苏不韦’s filial revenge motive.
The same episode shows Li surviving Su Buwei’s first hidden attack. Su tunnels into Li’s residence but finds Li absent, kills Li’s concubine and young son, and escapes. Li’s “一夕九徙” fear makes him a target already psychologically damaged before the Hanji 903 escalation.
Hanji 903 continues the case after the failed attack. Su violates Li’s father’s grave, decapitates the corpse, and displays the head publicly. Li reports Su but the pursuit is weak, and the episode says Li later dies from anger and fear.
Li’s narrative function is to show how a feud can continue after formal complaint, private attack, and inadequate enforcement. His relationship with 段熲 also matters because Duan later uses private coercion to destroy Su’s household, extending Li’s injury into a new wave of violence.
