Chapter 449 The Evil Taoist Priest is Confused
Just now, when they were at the door, two beggars who were passing by rubbed their eyes, then ran into the dilapidated temple and laughed, "My goodness, this rich family is really different, they actually treat a pig like a young lady."
Another senile beggar stroked his beard and said, "What's so strange about that? It's so hard to get meat these days, you have to treat pigs like royalty."
One of the beggars was a reasonable person. "Something's not right. Look at him, he looks like he's possessed."
"What do you mean by being possessed? There aren't that many evil spirits in this world. We who can't even afford meat shouldn't covet the pigs that others worship. We should be thinking about where we can beg for some steamed buns to eat today!"
After the old beggar finished speaking, the other beggars fell silent.
Lord Nguyen was overjoyed. As he walked, he laughed and said, "That's wonderful! My daughter is finally saved."
Zeng Yuan strode over and asked, "Lord Ruan, have you really found the young lady?"
Lord Ruan laughed and said, "I found her. She's in her room right now. I'll take you to see her."
Zeng Yuan was also very happy. He was also thinking that he could cure Miss Ruan Er as soon as possible so that he could make a contribution and enjoy wealth and honor sooner.
He followed Lord Ruan with a smile toward Miss Ruan's house.
The two continued to discuss as they walked.
"Should we knock her unconscious and rip out her heart, or just rip it out while she's still alive?"
"It's the same. It's better to knock her unconscious so she won't move around or scream."
"Wouldn't it be bad to replace the heart after knocking the person unconscious?"
"Then don't knock her out, just send more people to hold her."
Lord Ruan smiled and nodded.
The two of them arrived at the door, and Lord Ruan pushed the door open.
"Come, she's inside."
Zeng Yuan walked inside and looked around the house, but did not see Miss Ruan. "Sir, where is she?"
Lord Ruan pointed to the little pig on the ground, "It's not over there."
Zeng Yuan stared wide-eyed, looking left and right, but only saw a pink little pig; he couldn't see Miss Ruan at all.
"Sir, she's not here."
Lord Ruan grew impatient, strode over, and grabbed the pig off the ground, saying, "Isn't this it?"
Zeng Yuan stood there stunned and blurted out, "This isn't Miss Ruan, this is a pig!"
Lord Ruan threw the pig on the ground and angrily rebuked Zeng Yuan, "What did you say? Where is the pig? This is clearly only my own niece."
As he spoke, he pulled at the piglet on the ground again, saying, "Look, she still knows how to cry out in pain!"
Zeng Yuan was instantly flustered. He quickly took out a pill that could ward off evil spirits and stuffed it into Lord Ruan's hand.
Lord Ruan, unaware of what it was, accidentally swallowed it. "What did you give me to eat?"
Zeng Yuan pointed at the pig on the ground and said, "Lord Ruan, take another look, isn't this a pig?"
Lord Ruan instantly flew into a rage, yelling at Zeng Yuan, "You stinking Taoist priest, what exactly do you want? You said you would find the person and bring them back, and now that I have, you call them pigs! Are you deliberately trying to make trouble for the Ruan family and harm us?"
Zeng Yuan was immediately bewildered; he could hardly believe his eyes.
He quickly called in the servants and maids in the courtyard and asked them who was in the room.
They all say she's the young lady.
Lord Ruan was furious. "You, surnamed Zeng, I don't care what methods you use, I've already found the person for you, you must help me cure my daughter!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and left. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell me, "If you don't cure him, even if you use those secrets to blackmail me, I will make sure you suffer a terrible death."
Zeng Yuan looked frightened, took two steps back, and looked at the pig on the ground. He suddenly felt a splitting headache.
He began to wonder if there was something wrong with him.
But no matter what method he used, all he saw was a pig.
Left with no other choice, he had to listen to Lord Ruan and prepare to replace the pig's heart with Miss Ruan's the next day.
Lord Ruan waited for his daughter to recover, completely forgetting about the emperor.
The news of the heart transplant also reached the emperor's ears.
He was also waiting to see this good show.
The following day, Zeng Yuan prepared the tools and talismans for the heart transplant.
He had only seen his master try it once before, and today he was just taking a gamble.
If he manages to revive the person, it proves his magical skills are superb; if he fails, he can simply say that Miss Ruan is not a blood relative of the Ruan family and cover it up.
When the Ruan family brought the pig over, Zeng Yuan panicked; it really was a pig.
If he were to replace it with the second young lady's clothes now, wouldn't he be digging his own grave?
