However, although Cixi's plan was good, she did not expect that the reaction of overseas Chinese would be so fierce, and she threatened to cut off the Qing court's canal transport. Cixi certainly knew that the importance of the canal transport to the Qing court. If the canal transport was cut off, it would be hard to say elsewhere, but Beijing would have economic collapse at most no more than one month. In the past, she did not dare to restrict the East China government. In addition to the military strength factor, the Qing court's canal transport is now in the hands of the East China government, which is also an important factor. Now the East China government has indeed used this move, so Cixi did not dare to neglect it and immediately ordered Prince Su Shanqi to be imprisoned and handed over to the clan's office to conclude the crime.

However, this time it was a sensation among the Manchus' powerful people, so Liangbi, Puwei, Tieliang, Rongqing, Yinchang, Yulang, Zairun and others rushed to the palace to see Cixi and ask for Prince Su Shanqi. Cixi was also a little annoyed. She didn't expect that these people were so ignorant that they were simply incompetent and had enough trouble, so they simply refused to see each other.

This group of Manchu powerful people was also extremely good. Cixi refused to leave if she didn't see her. She also brought a large group of Manchu powerful people, including hundreds of people, knelt in front of the palace gate and cried loudly. The voice continued to reach the palace, making Cixi so angry that she almost turned her back. She immediately ordered the recruitment of military ministers to discuss solutions.

But although several military ministers came, they could not come up with any good ideas. Because Cixi was not unable to govern these Manchu powerful people, but to maintain the balance of the court, we could not suppress them too much. The biggest secret of Cixi's rule was the word balance. To pull one faction and fight another, we would never let any faction grow bigger. If Cixi dealt with these people, it would undoubtedly have a heavy blow to the power of the Manchu powerful people, and then the balance of the entire court would be broken. The military minister did not understand it in his heart, but what could he say at this time! Therefore, he had to pretend to be confused.

Of course, Zhang Zhidong pretended to behave and suggested that all these people be arrested and removed from their titles. Cixi just snorted, not saying anything, and the others were also very tactful, knowing that Zhang Zhidong was qualified to be a veteran, but he did not have this qualification, so he did not follow up on Zhang Zhidong's words.

In fact, Cixi also knew that the power of the Manchus was unreliable. This group of people had short-sighted eyes, high-mindedness, and had only known to seize power, but they never thought about how much they had. Can they control it after they seize power? Now they are still arrogant and threatened themselves. Therefore, Cixi was using the scriptures to support the new Manchus led by Zaifeng to replace them. But after all, Zaifeng is still young and has a deep foundation, and it takes several years of experience. We cannot suppress these people too much now.

So Cixi thought about it over and over again and finally ordered Prince Su to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and not leave the palace without the orders of the court. Although such a punishment was very severe, it was released back to the palace, which was considered a step back. Then he ordered Li Lianying to go out and warn the Manchu powerful people who were still crying outside the palace to stop when they saw it. Lord Lai Buddha had already made a step back, so don't be ungrateful. If you really want to force Lord Lai Buddha to anger, it's not that there is no way to deal with you.

These Manchu nobles cried outside the palace for most of the day, and had already cried so hard that they were tired and thirsty. No matter what, they had released Prince Su, and just took this step, so they dispersed one after another.

However, although the Manchus were dismissed, the canal transport detained by the East China government was not released, because such conditions obviously could not satisfy the East China government. Cixi ordered Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai to negotiate with the East China government.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"District Mayor Yang, Ms. Jiang, you can leave here today. You have been frightened a lot in the past two days, and we are sorry."

Yang Yuxin smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Jiang, I am no longer the mayor of Shanghai New District."

"Oh!" Jiang Shiwei was also embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while."

It turned out that at this time, Yang Yuxin had known that Bai Liusu was a Japanese spy, so Yang Yuxin was completely discouraged and knew that his political future was over. The East China government would never appoint a person who married a Japanese spy as an official, even if it was a time traveler. With this ideological preparation, he received a formal administrative order from the Ministry of Administration to remove Yang Yuxin from his post. Yang Yuxin was able to accept it calmly.

However, after staying in the Shanghai office for two days, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and others also wrote all the materials to be written. After confirmation and division by the Shanghai office, it can be basically confirmed that Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and others were not aware of Bai Liusu's true identity, so the Shanghai office had no reason to imprison Yang Yuxin. Moreover, Yang Yuxin was the top leader of the Shanghai New District after all. He had been imprisoned for two days and had no formalities handover. Whether it was the new district mayor or the temporary agency of other officials, it was quite troublesome.

Jiang Shiwei said: "However, although our imprisonment is lifted, your freedom is still limited. You can only move in the dormitory area. If you have something to leave the dormitory area, you must apply in advance and we will send someone to monitor it. Until the task force sent by the Executive Yuan arrives, they will be responsible for investigating your other responsibilities. In addition, you must go to your office to seal the information and go through the handover procedures."

Yang Yuxin smiled bitterly again and said, "I understand, I will definitely cooperate well."

Jiang Shiwei laughed and said, "I know you want to leave here right now, but there is one thing you need to deal with."

Yang Yuxin said: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "Bai Liusu hopes to meet you, but I don't know if you are willing to see her."

Yang Yuxin was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak. Jiang Yi, who had not spoken just now, suddenly said: "Minister Jiang thinks we should see her?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "We have no restrictions on this aspect, mainly depending on your attitude. If you are willing to see her, we can arrange it. We think this is normal, after all, she is still pregnant with your child."

Yang Yuxin lowered his head and said, "What's the use of saying this now?"

Jiang Renwei said: "Why is it useless? We are not Gestapo. We will allow her to give birth to the child. Even if she is sentenced to death, she will wait until she gives birth to the child before execution."

Yang Yuxin immediately raised his head and said, "Will she be sentenced to death?"

Jiang Shiwei smiled and said, "I just made an example, and didn't say that she would definitely be sentenced to death. What? She caused you so much. Do you still care about her life or death? Or do you care about your own children?"

Yang Yuxin shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about these things yet."

At this time, Jiang Yi suddenly said: "Minister Jiang, just say whatever you want to say to us, don't beat around the bush."

Jiang Shiwei was also slightly stunned. The woman's observation was very detailed, so he said, "This is mainly based on Yang District... Mr. Yang's attitude, so I'll just say it. If possible, I mean that if possible, Bai Liusu can clear her spy identity. Can you accept her?"

Yang Yuxin was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "Can she clear her identity as a spy?"

Jiang Yize frowned slightly and said, "Can Minister Jiang say it in more detail?"

Jiang Shiwei nodded and said, "I'm honest, we want to instigate her because she is a Japanese spy and is very familiar with Japan's intelligence operations. She also has many intelligence agencies located in Shanghai and Shandong. It is very useful to us. Therefore, we hope that she can make meritorious service and work for us. In this way, her crime will be greatly reduced. The death penalty will definitely not be possible. I guess it will be sentenced to several years, but the sentence will definitely be within 10 years."

Yang Yuxin was still digesting the message of Jiang Shiwei's words. Jiang Yiji said: "Minister Jiang wants to instigate Bai Liusu, what does it have to do with our acceptance of her?"

Jiang Shiwei said: "Of course it's related. According to our observations and the discussion of Bai Liusu's life experience, I believe that Bai Liusu still has some of his own good to Mr. Yang, and she is pregnant with Mr. Yang's child. Therefore, we think that if you can accept Bai Liusu, it will be very attractive to her, and we have a great chance of instigating her. But it all depends on your attitude. If you insist on not accepting Bai Liusu again, we will not be able to do so."

It turned out that through interrogation of the captives, recordings of Bai Liusu's self-reports, and texts, the Shanghai Office judged that her self-reported life experience was basically a fact. Of course, the Shanghai Office did not fully believe it, and also ordered the intelligence personnel lurking in Japan to investigate Bai Liusu's self-reported hometown and study experience in order to further confirm. However, Jiang Shiwei believed that it could be carried out simultaneously with Bai Liusu's rebellion work.

In the confession documents written by Bai Liusu, he provided some confidential information to the Shanghai office, such as the names used by two confirmed Japanese time travelers, one was Miyamoto Nakamura Hiroji, and the other was in the Japanese intelligence community, and another was named Masaki Kobayashi as famous as them. These three people have emerged in the past five years and are called the "Three-Fedate Birds" of the Japanese intelligence community, and are in the limelight that is close to Jiro Akashi.

This information is very important. Jiang Shiwei immediately judged that another person named Masashi Kobayashi is probably also a time traveler. Of course, the Shanghai office also made an identification whether Bai Liusu is a time traveler. She is not a time traveler. The identification method is actually very simple, just look at the eyes. Because modern people's eyes often contact strong stimulation light sources such as TV, computers, and mobile phones, the pupils are obviously different from those of this era. They can be detected by modern eye examination instruments. There are more than a dozen such instruments in the Time Travel Group, and there are two in Shanghai hospitals. Once Diamond Bai Liusu's eyes are checked, it can be confirmed that she is not a time traveler.
