The government building of the capital of Aqiu stood like a strong fortress in the middle of the city of Aqiu, and there was no taller building within miles of it.

The exterior of the government building resembles a large square box, and a hemispherical vault is added to the square top, which looks very much like some kind of ancient temple.

Unlike other buildings, government buildings have small windows to enhance their defenses and prevent anyone from entering the building.

Liu Yi stood in front of the government building, and suddenly felt a kind of depression, this is not a place for government offices, but like the command headquarters of the army, especially the two military mecha at the gate, which makes people feel even more murderous.

Using military mechs to guard the gate is probably the first in the entire Xinghan Empire, which shows how chaotic the law and order in Yaqiu is.

Liu Yi got into a taxi as soon as he got off the shuttle, and he planned to ask to see the magistrate of Yaqiu, hoping that the other party could arrange a job for him in the face of the mentor's recommendation letter.

Liu Yi's requirements are not high, as long as he can let himself settle down in Yaqiu first, after all, he has nothing now, and there are only a few thousand yuan left in his account, and he must have income immediately.

When he came to the reception, Liu Yi explained his intention to the young female receptionist, and although the other party did not say a word of refusal, the contemptuous white-eyed Liu Yi saw it clearly.

"Wait a minute, I'll report to my superiors first." The female receptionist threw down a sentence and ignored Liu Yi.

"Wait!" Liu Yi hurriedly stopped the other party and said, "I have a letter of recommendation here, I hope you can pass it on to the Governor." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yi hurriedly opened the holographic projection interface of the portable computer, called up the letter of recommendation written by the tutor for you from his database, and then swiped his finger forward, and the letter of recommendation was sent to the receptionist's mailbox.

The female receptionist pouted with some disdain, but in front of Liu Yi, she still patiently opened Liu Yi's letter of recommendation, and after reading it for less than a minute, her face suddenly changed.

It turned out that the format used in this letter of recommendation was the layout of official documents that could only be used by high-ranking officials of the empire, and the other party, as a government functionary, naturally knew that the weight of this letter should not be underestimated.

The female receptionist changed her indifferent attitude just now, made a 180-degree turn, and said to Liu Yi with a pleasant face: "It turns out that you are from the imperial capital?" May I ask who wrote the letter ......"

Liu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend not to care, and said, "It's my mentor, Yu Wensong, a senior researcher at the Imperial Royal Military Academy. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be ...... It's Yuwen...... Wait a minute, I'll pass the letter to my superiors right away, and you can sit down first. The receptionist said with a smile and a panicked voice.

"Okay." Liu Yi nodded and made a gesture of please.

Sitting down in a chair, Liu Yi began to look at the place, and unlike the conservative appearance, the interior of the government building could be said to be quite ornately decorated.

From the mirror-like floors to the colorful antique chandeliers overhead, it is evident that the owner is a lover of luxury.

Liu Yi thought to himself: "This place of Yaqiu has been in chaos and war all year round, but I didn't expect this Governor to be a person who likes luxury and enjoyment, can such a person really manage this place well?" ”

At this time, the female receptionist came to Liu Yi and said in a kind tone: "Mr. Liu, the Governor has read your letter of recommendation, and he has invited you to the office for an interview. ”

"Okay, thank you." Liu Yi said very calmly on the surface, but he was excited in his heart, he didn't expect to be personally received by the governor, which made Liu Yi overjoyed.

followed the receptionist to the top floor by elevator, and Liu Yi was a little dumbfounded the moment he stepped out of the elevator, the living room in front of him was too luxurious, and even Liu Yi, who had seen a lot of big scenes, felt suffocated.

The furniture and ornaments in this parlor are all extremely expensive luxuries, from all over the empire, from the top diamonds of the Light Horse Star, to the iridescent gemstones of the Sea Thallium Star, and even an incomparably precious dinosaur specimen...... These things may not even be possessed by the nobles of the upper echelons of the imperial capital.

In this room, however, these priceless treasures were casually placed in the corner of the room like ordinary playthings, and the wealth of the Governor could be said to be quite astonishing.

Just when Liu Yi was stunned, a middle-aged man in a white dress with a medium stature greeted him, smiled and stretched out his right hand to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi glanced at the receptionist beside him, and saw that the receptionist's attitude was very respectful, and he immediately realized that this middle-aged man was the person he wanted to see, the governor of Yaqiu-Ding Kai.

Before coming to visit, Liu Yi had read some information about Ding Kai, but he didn't expect to be able to see him directly.

Now that he looks, Ding Kai is shorter than he imagined, with a square face wearing a pair of glasses and a professional smile on his face, how he looks like a typical company employee.

Liu Yi thought to himself: "It is really unbelievable that a person who has been a local governor in this place of right and wrong for several years looks a little polite. ”

At this time, Ding Kai had already walked in front of Liu Yi, and said with a smile while stretching out his right hand: "Welcome, welcome, are you Liu Yi?" ”

Liu Yi nodded, and also stretched out his right hand to shake Ding Kai, Liu Yi found that this person's hand was very soft, and it seemed that he was a pampered person.

"I'm Liu Yi, I wonder if my letter of recommendation, Lord Governor, has read it?" Liu Yi asked.

"Sit down, sit down." Ding Kai said.

After the two of them sat down, Ding Kai continued: "I read your recommendation letter, but I didn't expect you to be a local, and you have studied under Lord Yuwensong for so many years, you are really a rare talent." ”

Seeing that Yu Wensong had a good evaluation of himself, Liu Yi began to burn hope in his heart, and hurriedly said modestly: "Where, Lord Governor has praised it falsely. ”

Ding Kai smiled: "Why be so modest, what I said is the truth." I wonder if Lord Yuwensong is okay now? ”

Liu Yi seemed to know his mentor when he heard Ding Kai's tone, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Could it be that the Governor is also my teacher?" ”

"Hehe, I've met a few times in meetings before, next time you see Lord Yuwensong, remember to say hello for me."

"Definitely, I will convey the greetings of the Governor to the teacher."

At this point, the greetings were over, and the two of them fell silent in unison, and the atmosphere became a little delicate for a while.

Fortunately, the receptionist brought tea to the two, Ding Kai took a sip of the teacup, and said: "I heard about your intention to come this time, there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to serve the empire, it would be nice to have a few more people like you." ”

Liu Yi's heart lit up, and when he heard what Ding Kai meant, he seemed to be willing to use himself, so he straightened his waist and waited for Ding Kai to continue.

Ding Kai continued: "As a person, you are very welcome to work, but ...... It's just that after all, there are regulations on the government's employment of personnel, and I can't have the final say alone. Well, you come back in a few days, and I'll talk to the others first. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi's heart suddenly cooled, but Ding Kai didn't say anything to death, indicating that there was still some hope.

Liu Yi was about to introduce his expertise and specialty to Ding Kai, but he didn't expect that Ding Kai had already stood up at this time and asked the receptionist beside him, "Are the people from Eternal Mining here?" ”

"Here, I'm waiting downstairs for my lord."

After hearing this, Ding Kai turned back to Liu Yi and said, "You see I still have some guests, I have to go over and deal with them." If you come back in two days, don't worry, I will definitely consider Lord Yuwensong's letter of recommendation. ”

After speaking, Ding Kai stood up and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, turned around and walked out the door.

Liu Yi felt like he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and it was cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and Ding Kai quickly sent himself away, not even planning to save a little time for himself.

At this time, the receptionist came to Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Liu, come back in a few days, the Governor is very busy today." ”

Liu Yi didn't know how he got out of the government building, and it wasn't until he came to the street that he eased up a little.

Recalling the experience just now, Liu Yi had a feeling that he had been tricked, this Ding Kaida didn't intend to give himself any chance from the beginning, and he received himself completely for the sake of the letter of recommendation.

Although Ding Kai's attitude makes people can't find anything wrong, but the contempt in his bones makes people very annoying, Liu Yi feels itchy at the root of his teeth when he thinks about it, and he really hates to scold this Ding Kai in person.

"Phew! Come back in a few days? I'll never go to this door again in my life! Liu Yi looked at the government building and scolded in his heart: "This place, it's good for people to blow it up!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yi suddenly heard a shrill noise, as if it was a broken exhaust fan.

Liu Yi raised his eyes to find the source of the sound, and suddenly saw a flash of fire in the air, followed by a huge explosion, and a dazzling fire rose from the government building.

Without waiting for Liu Yi to react, a strong wave of air swept in, knocking many passers-by, including Liu Yi, to the ground.

Liu Yi's brain was dizzy from the shock, and a continuous harsh noise sounded in his ears, like radio sound waves.

"There was an explosion?" Liu Yi quickly realized what had just happened.

Liu Yi finally struggled to sit up, only to see the streets dusty everywhere, panicked passers-by running around like headless flies, and the scene was very chaotic.

Not far from Liu Yi, a person had fallen in a pool of blood, apparently hit on the head by something, and he was probably out of breath at this time.

Liu Yi's heart tightened suddenly, and suddenly he felt that the footsteps of the god of death were so close to him, only a few meters away, if he was unlucky, he might be the one who died.

Liu Yi didn't dare to stay in this place any longer, so he hurriedly stood up, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly heard an explosion not far away.
