Then come the Samurai cases.
And then the cases of ordinary citizens.
Handling just these "normal people's" cases already keeps the Magistrate's Office so busy they can hardly manage, let alone have the energy and time to deal with cases involving the people of Hieda.
On a regular day, they never really care about the life or death of the Hieda, even more so when the Magistrate's Office is currently dedicating the majority of its effort and resources to cracking down on the "Radical Anti-foreigner Faction."
If Mukiwa tried to report to the Magistrate's Office that "there's a group of madmen using the Hieda to test swords," her report would definitely sink without a ripple.
The Magistrate's Office would at most send a few Jishinban servants to the crime site to make a show of patrolling around.
