Li Qingmu ordered people to tie ropes around their feet, connecting them like a string to prevent them from jumping out of windows to escape, then opened the window and let them ask the passersby outside.
Seeing a woman passing by, Instructor Hong loudly asked: "Lady, have you seen an old man with graying hair and a mole on his face? Accompanied by a little girl?"
The woman cursed and said: "They just left not too long ago, riding a horse and almost ran into my grandson. Really ill-mannered!"
Instructor Hong's heart sank. The woman's expression was very natural. After speaking, she cursed a few more times and slowly walked away. Unbelieving, he asked a young man dressed as a waiter.
"That old bastard caused our inn to collapse and ran off without paying a single coin. I curse him that his grandsons won't have a third leg!"
Several passersby in succession basically all saw He Juncheng riding away with his granddaughter, and he left in a hurry.
