Catch them quickly

The world was silent, only her sharp roar pierced the ears of everyone on the street, and her low, mournful cry echoed through the world.

Everyone's lips moved, but they were speechless. It was unclear whether they truly felt the same pain as her, or were simply frightened by her crazy appearance and were speechless for a moment...

"fart!"

Suddenly, a gruff voice erupted from the crowd, "You just want money! You don't want the truth, you're just greedy!"

The burly man who was speaking pushed the crowd aside with his big hands. "Dong, dong, dong," he stomped his feet, making the ground tremble, and walked straight towards the gate of Baiwen Tower in anger.

"Why don't so many people come to Baiwenlou to cause trouble?! It's because they are content and not greedy! But you guys have tasted the sweetness and want to continue to blackmail Baiwenlou! When Baiwenlou doesn't indulge you, you start to make a scene!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd gathered in front of Baiwen Tower suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream. Their timid eyes instantly became sharp and they straightened their backs.

Yes.

What's so special about people? They're dead, and it's just a pity that all the time, money, and resources you've invested over the years have gone down the drain. How many people would truly feel sorry for someone?

These people who came to cause trouble have tasted the sweetness of getting something for nothing, that's why they squat here every day waiting for Baiwenlou to get impatient and give them money.

So that's how it is... The onlookers suddenly understood.

Scrutinizing, disgusted, and mocking gazes were like knives, stabbing at the three figures lying on the ground in front of Baiwen Tower.

How greedy.

Did they think Baiwenlou was a pushover? It was just that the adults there were too lazy to bother with them...

Don't wait until the adults get tired of them and turn them into ashes with just a wave of their hands.

Come to think of it, they should thank them!

If they weren't here, how would they have survived... That's right!

Everyone understood that these people were deliberately trying to make the matter known to everyone. Only by being under the public's sight could they survive!

Suddenly, everyone's gazes towards the three women turned into one of disdain and contempt.

The three women lying on the ground in front of Baiwen Tower suddenly swayed. They looked confused and unwilling, and their red faces gradually turned pale.

"Hmph!" The burly man spat at them with disdain. Then, waving his hand, he shouted, "Why are you wasting time with them? Cut the crap and just charge through!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone woke up instantly.

They all took steps forward and rushed forward with great momentum like a flood. Even the onlookers stared at the three skinny figures with contempt and disgust, and joined them without hesitation, rushing towards the gate of Baiwen Tower.

—That's right! Why bother trying to reason with these blackmailing scoundrels like them?! Just push them away!

"Don't come in! Don't come in—!" A female voice suddenly screamed with tears in her eyes, "They've hurt people! They've hurt people! They've hurt so many people—"

Another woman burst into tears, "We didn't blackmail them! They said they would give us the truth and justice! We just want to know who it is!!"

However, the crowd that gathered like a surging tide was filled with anger and had ferocious expressions. They paid no attention to what they were saying and just kept cursing.

Three thin figures in plain clothes swayed back and forth in the dark crowd. They sat in front of the gate of Baiwen Tower. Their tears had almost dried up and their eyes were confused, but their fingers were still tightly clasping the exquisitely carved gate of Baiwen Tower.

The three figures pressed together tightly, blocking the gate of Baiwen Tower firmly. No matter how the rushing Zhong people pushed, beat and scolded them, they refused to move away.

"Auntie..." The woman sitting on the right turned her head to look at the woman next to her who was breathing weakly and leaning her head unconsciously on her shoulder. Suddenly, a tear fell from her numb and confused eyes. She turned her head abruptly, and saw countless overlapping figures in front of her.

She could only scream at the top of her lungs towards the corner, "Lao Wang! Lao Li! Come here, what are you doing over there! Come and help!!!"

The sound was so loud that it drowned out the crowd's curses and stung the ears of everyone on the street.

There was a pause of countless inaudible curses, followed by another group of people pushing and beating the three people who were blocking the way ahead, while a small group of people turned their heads and glared towards the corner with ferocious looks.

The two men huddled in the corner were startled. Seeing the glares coming from the front, they started flailing their arms and legs, their faces filled with anxiety and anger as they shouted:

"That's right! I don't know why you're crying all the time. You've made me lose face! Can this family still survive?!!"

"No wonder the old man next door was talking about you! Haven't you had enough of making a fool of yourself outside these days?! Now you're yelling again, but you don't know what you're yelling about! If you die, you die, what's there to cry about?! At worst, you can just have a few more children. You cry every day, cry every day, and you've cried all your blessings away! You were just making a scene outside, why did you involve me?!!"

"You're being laughed at for nothing! How am I supposed to live like this?! Everyone else is laughing at you, don't you know?"

"It's been three years, what's there to be fussing about? I think you're just crazy about money, and you're targeting Baiwenlou!!"

Their faces flushed red, their facial features were ferocious, and they danced around in frustration, as if they were even more angry and hostile towards them than those who were trying to break into Baiwen Tower.

The three people who were guarding the door suddenly turned pale, their bodies stiffened, and they looked in their direction in disbelief with their red and swollen eyes.

While they were distracted, a large group of people suddenly pushed them away and rushed into Baiwen Tower in a hurry.

"Don't come in! Don't come in!!"

The woman on the left fell to the ground, crying out in pain, and stretched out her arms to stop the crowd.

"Don't come in! Don't come in... Don't come in!!!"

Shoes of different sizes made a lot of noise as they hurriedly stepped on her sleeves and arms and ran into Baiwen Building, fearing that if they were late they would be stopped again for an unknown amount of time.

"Wow..." The frail woman, who was being held in a woman's arms, spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. Her eyes were lightly closed but unable to open. Warm tears trickled down her cheeks as she cried out in agony, "So, the child isn't yours, and you don't feel any pain at all!!"

"But I feel so sad, so sad—" She spat out several mouthfuls of blood and cried so hard that her heart heaved violently.

"How can I not feel heartbroken?! How can I not feel heartbroken? How did he die? Was it painful? What was he thinking before he died? How painful, regretful, and scared he was... How can I not think about all this? How can I not feel heartbroken--!!"

The woman holding her couldn't help but sob softly, crying and cursing towards the wall: "You two bastards! What are you doing here to irritate me?"

Seeing many people's eyes turned to him, one man immediately became so angry that he huddled in a corner and mumbled something incoherently. Another man, under the countless gazes, became even more annoyed and yelled manically:

"We didn't want to come in the first place! You were the ones who were being unreasonable and still dragged us into this/making us suffer!! I told you not to come a long time ago, but you insisted on coming. I don't know what was going on in your head. What kind of crooked ideas did you come up with? It's embarrassing!!"

The angry and hostile gazes instantly turned into ridicule and teasing, falling in groups of three or two on the three figures standing at the gate of Baiwen Tower.

But more people were grinning at the two men in the corner.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, the two men's faces flushed red, and they stomped their feet on the ground or pounded the wall. One of them yelled, and the other cursed, scolding even more fiercely.

"The soldiers are coming! The soldiers are coming!"

Amid the noise, someone suddenly shouted excitedly.

The two men, whose faces were red from scolding, fell silent instantly and huddled in the corner, not daring to move.

The crowd, which was pushing and shoving, suddenly and quietly made way.

A group of soldiers, wearing armor and holding long spears, strode forward in unison. The leading soldier took in the surroundings with sharp eyes and asked in a stern voice, "Who is causing trouble here?!"

“It’s them!”

Everyone immediately raised their hands excitedly and pointed at the three figures on the ground in front of Baiwen Tower.

"That's them! They've been making a fuss for days now. They're crying and making a fuss here every day, and they're so noisy that they won't let anyone into Baiwen Tower!"

"Yes, yes, yes! There are more than just the three of them. The ones I saw causing trouble here a few days ago weren't them! This group of people are clearly organized and are deliberately causing unrest in Yuguo. My business has been struggling lately! Sir, arrest them quickly!"

"These people are trying to blackmail Baiwenlou! They've been causing trouble here for months, and every day they're changing people! People from other places are trying to avoid us in Jingji. How can I still do business?"

"I'm just going to teleport, sir! They're blocking me here, and I can't even get through the gate of Baiwen Tower! These people must be spies! They're here specifically to persecute us Dayu!"

"Catch them quickly! Catch them quickly!" everyone shouted angrily and excitedly.

The leading officer understood immediately, raised his hand, and the large group of officers and soldiers behind him rushed towards the three embarrassed and crazy figures with long spears in their hands.

"Sir! It's Baiwen Tower. Three years ago, Baiwen Tower..."

"Bang!"

A woman raised her head and shouted at the leading officer, but before she could finish her words, a long spear hit her back hard.

With a scream of "Ah", she instantly fell to the stone ground, twisting and struggling in pain but unable to stand up.

"How dare you bring up what happened three years ago!" the leading officer roared in anger. "Three years ago, you caused Baiwenlou to close down, harming the country and the people. And then, thousands of people begged for Baiwenlou to reopen, and you've forgotten?! In just two weeks, do you realize how many lives you ruined back then?!"

He raised a finger and pointed fiercely at the three people in front of him, his features sullen with anger. "The elders in Baiwen Tower are kindhearted and won't bother with you, but you dared to go against their will. Now you've incurred public wrath and we're going to execute you!"

A woman looked unwilling and murmured miserably, "But our child..."

"How many children have you killed?!" The leading officer glared at them fiercely, his teeth clenched. "You are simply greedy! For the sake of money, you have harmed the country and countless people!"
