The shuttle carrying Ye Ning and his party of four drove all the way to the headquarters building of the Imperial Ministry of Public Security.

The shuttle was parked in the parking lot under the headquarters building of the Ministry of Public Security, and Ye Ning and the four of them got off the shuttle and entered the building under the leadership of one of the security officers.

The office of the Minister of Public Security, of course, is on the top floor of the headquarters building.

As the supreme head of the entire empire's security system, looking at the entire empire, it can be regarded as an official position in the center of power, and the office of the minister of security must of course be magnificent.

Although slavery had long since been abolished, the class contradictions in the country were still quite acute.

There are still differences and distances between different classes that are as difficult to judge as mountains.

Therefore, the extreme desire for poverty and luxury in the upper echelons of the empire never needed any cover-up or whitewashing.

Because in their eyes, it's a normal thing.

As a nobleman, of course, he cannot be equated with a pariah.

This is also very evident in the government affairs of the empire.

For example, the headquarters building of the Imperial Ministry of Security, the top floor of Qinuo University is an entire floor, which is classified as the office of the Minister of Security.

There are two meeting rooms, one large and one small, the main office, breakout rooms, a fully equipped slim room, and even a small bar.

In any case, if necessary, the Minister of Public Security could even live on the top floor of this headquarters building all year round, and enjoy it as much as he wanted, and it would never be much less than in other places.

When they came to the top floor, the security officer who was in charge of leading the way bowed down and confessed, and after letting Ye Ning and the four of them enter it on their own, they turned around and left.

As a result, as soon as he stepped in, Ye Ning saw Lu Yuan actually waiting in the gate on the top floor, and greeted him in front of the door with the dignity of a minister, which really gave him a big face.

"Minister Lu is so polite, how can we be embarrassed?"

Ye Ning hurriedly bowed and spoke.

"It's not polite, it's just that due to my identity, I can't go directly to the train station to pick you up, so I can only wait here. ”

Lu Yuan smiled and greeted Lin Chuxia and the three of them respectively, so that the three of them did not have to be restrained, and after each of them was casual, he directly hugged Ye Ning's shoulders, and while leading it inside, he continued: "The imperial capital is not easy, this is transferred back to the imperial capital, although it is said that the career has regained sight, and it has finally returned to the center of power, but in the end, it is not as free as when it is outside." ”

"I think when I was in the province of Moxi, who would dare to care what I did in the provincial capital? Even if I was domineering on weekdays, it was a matter of course, and there was absolutely no one who chewed his tongue. But it's different in this imperial capital, staring up and down at your eyes, I don't know how many. If you are not cautious and make a mistake, you may put yourself in it, which is really uncomfortable. ”

These words sounded like an explanation for why Lu Yuan didn't personally go to the train station to greet Ye Ning and the four of them.

But Ye Ning listened to it quite strangely.

Because strictly speaking, with Lu Yuan's identity, even if he confessed to him before and treated each other as allies, no matter what, he must be asking more for Lu Yuan now.

Whether it is age, status, seniority, power, and any other factor that can be used to discuss friendship, the current road is far above him.

It's really normal to not go to meet you in person, so what's there to explain it alone?

With such a question, Ye Ning had already followed Lu Yuan into a small bar.

The wine cabinet was full of all kinds of famous wines, and after letting Ye Ning and the four of them sit down, Lu Yuan personally opened a bottle of 'Imperial Starlight' and poured a glass for each of them.

Ye Ning glanced at Lin Chuxia with some concern, and said, "Chuxia still has injuries on her body, does drinking have any effect?"

"It doesn't matter, this 'Imperial Starlight' is the most famous medicinal wine in the empire, it has a certain effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and at the same time, drinking it regularly can also strengthen the body, so not only does it have no side effects, but it can be beneficial. ”

Du Fei said with a smile.

Ye Ning was relieved.

Lu Yuan on the side listened strangely, and asked, "Miss Lin has injuries on her body, what's the matter?"

There is nothing bad to say, Ye Ning sharpened the previous four people in the wilderness, Lin Chuxia was stung and poisoned by a three-tailed scorpion, and the three of them found a five-colored lotus to detoxify, and roughly talked about it.

Lu Yuan was quite admiring when he heard it, and raised his glass with a smile and said: "In the wilderness, all kinds of emergencies are always emerging, although it is dangerous, but I have to say that it is indeed very sharpened. The 'Imperial Starlight' I have here is not an ordinary commodity that can be bought outside. This is a tribute from His Majesty, and it is much stronger than the others, and drinking two more cups will be good for your injuries. ”

The five of them had a drink, and Lu Yuan filled Ye Ning with a few people, and then he got down to business: "Ye Ning, Your Majesty is very concerned about you, and this time, Your Majesty inquired in person after learning about it." Such an honor has never been seen in recent years. ”

Ye Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, and vaguely understood why Fang Cai Luyuan wanted to explain himself like that.

It seems that it was the attitude shown by the emperor that made Lu Yuan worried.

Although he would go to Canglan before and have a good eye for himself, it was also because of the emperor's attitude, but the emperor's attitude was always fickle.

There are not too many people who were still in the ascendancy of the saint the day before and were suddenly knocked off the cliff the day after.

So the emperor's attitude has to be seen again after all, to see if this attitude is short-lived or long-lasting.

And this time, the matter was already extremely small, and it suddenly became a hot spot in the empire, which was already a very unbelievable development, not to mention that the emperor was still interested in asking in person.

In Lu Yuan's eyes, it was the emperor's love for Ye Ning, which could never be sudden in a short period of time.

Then while the relationship between each other's allies is unbreakable, Lu Yuan's attention to Ye Ning must also be raised to a higher level.

With such a cognition, Ye Ning also knew how he should express his position.

Therefore, after drinking the wine in the cup again, Ye Ning said with a smile: "This time the matter will be so big, in fact, I didn't expect it, so I am really a little panicked now." On the side of the ground rail train department, I have already told them that it is best to treat it coldly, and for the performance of the crew, it is only an individual case, and it cannot be generalized. ”

"I have the same attitude towards the performance of the safety officer. In the final analysis, it was always Li Mingqi who relied on himself to be a member of the Li family, so he was arrogant and domineering, which caused follow-up troubles, and it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Trains and the Ministry of Public Security. ”

Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and there was a faint hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he laughed and said, "That's right, this matter is completely because the people of the Li family are too arrogant and have nothing to do with others!"
