魏宇 / Wei Yu (late Han)

Overview

魏宇 / Wei Yu is 第五种’s subordinate investigator in Hanji 851. His importance is procedural: he converts 单匡’s corruption into reportable evidence and then becomes the witness whom Shan Kuang tries to remove.

Current Profile

Fifth Zhong sends Wei Yu to investigate Shan Kuang. Wei Yu’s report brings Shan Kuang and 单超 under accusation, making him dangerous to the protected family network. Shan Kuang hires 任芳 to kill Wei Yu, but Wei Yu detects the plan and captures Ren Fang.

The episode then moves Wei Yu’s case from local investigation to central confrontation. Ren Fang is imprisoned in Luoyang, and Shan Kuang tries to arrange a jailbreak. 杨秉 asks to bring Shan Kuang to Luoyang for confrontation, but the court punishes Yang Bing instead.

Key Characteristics

• Subordinate investigator whose work turns Shan Kuang’s conduct into formal evidence.
• Targeted witness in a protected-family corruption case.
• Procedurally alert actor who detects and captures his would-be assassin.
• Link between local investigation and the failed Luoyang confrontation request.

Evidence

• Investigation role: Hanji 851 says Fifth Zhong sends Wei Yu to examine Shan Kuang.
• Evidence risk: Hanji 851 says the resulting report impeaches Shan Kuang and Shan Chao.
• Assassination target: Hanji 851 says Shan Kuang hires Ren Fang to kill Wei Yu.
• Counter-capture: Hanji 851 says Wei Yu detects the plot and captures Ren Fang.
• Confrontation failure: Hanji 851 says Yang Bing’s request to confront Shan Kuang with the case leads to Yang Bing’s punishment.

Qualifications

Wei Yu’s page is source-bounded to Hanji 851. The episode does not provide his broader biography, office title beyond subordinate role, or later fate. He is treated mainly as an evidence and witness node in the protected-corruption case.

What Changed

• Created the page from Hanji 851.
• Added Wei Yu as the investigator-witness targeted by Shan Kuang.

Relationships

• 第五种 - superior who sends Wei Yu to investigate.
• 单匡 - investigated official who hires an assassin against Wei Yu.
• 任芳 - would-be assassin whom Wei Yu detects and captures.
• 杨秉 - official whose confrontation request depends on the case Wei Yu helps expose.
• 洛阳 - central custody and confrontation setting after Ren Fang is captured.
• 宦官庇护下的地方暴行 - concept extended by Wei Yu’s targeted witness role.
