A quick point I need to clarify. The former magistrate was in a sedan chair, not (as I probably gave the impression) a horse drawn carriage<br/><br/>http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/f/f8/250px-Sedan-chair.jpg<br/><br/>Something like that. His yoriki was found in front of it, cut down, and the chair bearers presumably ran off during the attack, as no other bodies were found there.
