魏不害 / Wei Buhai (Western Han)

Overview

魏不害 / Wei Buhai enters the wiki through Hanji 388-2 as a small local official who recognizes 公孙勇‘s绣衣 performance as false.

Current Profile

Sent to receive Gongsun Yong at Yu county, he stays alert rather than being overawed by绣衣 display, identifies the imposture, and coordinates with other officials to control the rebel. The episode treats his action as proof that lower-level officials can decisively interrupt high-risk political fraud.
