At around 9 p.m., two black cars, a jeep and a truck slowly drove into Saigon Prison.

The prison warden had been waiting for a long time, trotting to the side of the car and saluting, Li Weimin signaled that he should not be so polite, and the police of Pingdong Industrial Village, who accompanied him, took out a warrant and demanded that he hand over the prisoner.

There are thousands of prisoners being held here, and the execution ground is in the swamp on the left, it is late at night, the cool breeze is eerie, and Gong Qiantai, the general manager of the United Textile Factory, has come to this kind of place for the first time, and he really feels a little creepy.

In addition to his boss, there are also the manager of Pingdong Industrial Village and the chief of the police department of Pingdong Industrial Village, it is inappropriate to say too much on this occasion, and the prison director is only responsible for detaining people and not arresting people, so it is useless to say anything to him.

The crowd stood and waited in the courtyard for about 20 minutes, and three ragged men and two weak women were taken out by several prison guards as the iron gate opened and closed.

The documents signed by Wu Dinh Yao, the prison did not dare to make trouble, all of them were on the right line, and there were many people who should be handed over.

The handover is just a statement, and the release is real.

Two of them were beaten to the point where they were not human, and the warden was nervous, fearing that "Mr. Min" would pursue them. As it turned out, the worry was unnecessary, and Li Weimin not only did not pursue the matter, but thanked the prison authorities for their cooperation, and even left them a few cigarettes.

After receiving the person, the convoy drove directly to Pingdong Industrial Village, and finally stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Doctors and nurses rushed up, helped six people in to check their bodies, treat wounds, take a bath, cut their hair, and change their clothes. The scene is so touching.

"Mr. Min. Mrs. Min. Thank you, if it weren't for your help, Dongyan really doesn't know how many sins he will have to suffer, and I don't know if he can come out! ”

"Mr. Min, you are my husband's reborn parents, you are the great benefactor of my family, I will kowtow to you."

……

"I know, I know."

Li Weimin helped the old lady to the side. said sincerely: "Everyone, I'm sorry that I came back late and made you feel wronged." If I had come back a few months earlier, not so much would have happened. If you want to be grateful, you should thank Manager Gong Qiantai, thank your factory colleagues and friends in the industrial village, they have been running around all this time, and have been asking people to intercede, if they hadn't tried their best. The results were unimaginable. ”

Several of those who were caught together were said to have been shot.

Close call. Like in a dream, Le Thi Ngoc did not relent, until she saw her mother and younger brother appear beside her, she fell to her knees with a thud, hugged his legs and cried: "Mr. Min, I have been wronged, I am not a Viet Minh, I am really wronged." ”

Li Weimin hurriedly helped her up with Wu Lijun, helped her to the hospital bed, and said slowly: "I know, I believe you are innocent." Your Thai manager has sent me several telegrams saying that you are a good girl and a good worker, but those classmates when you were studying in Hanoi were so hateful that they were bitten like mad dogs.

The 'purging committee' took their testimony as evidence and used the evidence to go to the industrial village to arrest people, and they had a lot of authority, and the security team really couldn't do anything but watch them arrest people. I know that you have suffered a lot in this, and I would like to help you with an explanation, but this is different from other cases, and I have no say in the issue of the Viet Minh. ”

The manager of the industrial village sighed lightly and introduced in a low voice: "Child, Mr. and Mrs. Min just came back from abroad in the afternoon, and as soon as they got off the plane, they went to the Independence Palace to negotiate with President Yan, and bargained one by one like doing business, and finally got the warrant, and even didn't bother to eat dinner, and went directly to the prison to pick you up, and then went to other prisons to pick up people, he really tried his best." ”

"Thank you Mr. Min, thank you Manager Tai, thank you for your ......"

The female worker of the textile factory cried so much that she was scarred, as pitiful as when Justina was just rescued from Zheng Mingshi, Wu Lijun felt very uncomfortable, pulled her skinny right hand, and said in a choked voice: "Life is more important than anything else, let the past pass, there are so many people who care about you, cheer up, start again." ”

Which people must help rescue, which people only need to come forward to go through the motions, reflecting the company's care for employees, the audit and inspection department has already privately reminded several bosses through the Chamber of Commerce.

Gong Qiantai has been working hard in the shopping mall for so many years, how can he not know that this is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts.

Looking back at Li Shiyu's mother, he turned around and said, "Child, listen to Mrs. Min, take a good rest for a while, take care of your body and then go back to work." The basic salary for a few months in it is calculated, and all the medical expenses are borne by the factory. ”

"Did you hear that, how good your Thai manager is to you. With so many fruits and nutritious products, your colleagues care about you, recuperate well, and forget all the unpleasant things. ”

"Well, I listen to Mr. Min."

……

The manager of the industrial village was not exaggerating, and after reassuring them, Li Weimin went to several prisons and police stations in a row, and even went to Ngo Dinh Daih's "special forces" station and several barracks of the national army. Eating on the road, sleeping in the car, all busy with this for several days, rescued more than 80 people.

Wu Tingyan thought that he was stabilizing the hearts of the people in the industrial village, and did not think elsewhere. One urged him to deal with the affairs of the industrial investment company quickly, and after he was done, he would go to the United States with him to visit.

Chen Jinxuan and others realized that he was expressing his dissatisfaction in this way, because some of the more than 80 people were indeed framed by insiders.

Phan Quang Dan, a well-informed opposition leader who is "serving his sentence" in Phu Quoc Island Prison, can see from this incident that Li Weimin can win over and that he is not unprincipled and unreserved in supporting Ngo Dinh Diem in pursuing dictatorship and running the world.

As a "criminal" he imagined, he was more free than he imagined, he could visit around under the supervision of prison guards, he could go to Phu Quoc Institute of Technology, which was officially enrolled in the second half of the year, he could attend classes as an observer, and he could go to the Phu Quoc Special Zone Management Committee as a guest, except that he could not make any politically related remarks, otherwise he could only go back to the prison to read the newspaper.

After turning around Pier 4, near the end of the first phase of the project, he returned to the prison to find Huang Duqing.

"Do you want to see Mr. Min?"

"Can't you?"

"It's not that it can't be done, it's to see what he does, do you want him to join you in opposing the government and opposing Diem."

Quarreling every day, often inviting him to his home for dinner, Huang Duqing knew him too well, and while greeting him to tea, he said earnestly: "Lao Pan, listen to my advice, those who know the times are Junjie, you have already harmed so many students, don't harm the people who do the right thing." ”

"Huang Duqing, say it again, I am for this country, how can I become a scourge, it is simply a strong word."

"I'm strong, but I'm not blind."

Huang Duqing snorted coldly and said angrily: "The island changes every day, and the same is true for several other industrial villages. By this time next year, the iron and steel industry, chemical industry, and power electronics industry will be able to develop, and there will be no need to import steel, fertilizer, gasoline, diesel, pesticides, wires and cables, and many other power equipment, and even export.

Do you know how many people are pointing to him for dinner, and there are more than 500,000 people in a few industrial villages and the special zone on Phu Quoc Island alone, and if you count the businessmen and peasants who have benefited, it may be more than one million. Everyone can have an accident, but he can't, as soon as he falls, the industrial investment company will be finished, and the industrial village will be finished. ”

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

Phan Quang Dan knew the importance of Li Weimin and his outstanding contribution to Vietnam's industrial development, and said eagerly: "Overthrow the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers, and the new government will support him as well!" ”

"Can't overturn it?"

"If you don't do anything, no one can swallow your anger, and of course you can't overthrow it."

"The problem is that you don't do it to others, you can't bear to swallow it, and for a large part of the people, Ngo Dinh Diem is a good president. Especially for those of us who live in industrial villages, as long as the government can maintain the status quo, as long as it can resist North Vietnam, as long as it holds out for more than ten years, the country can develop. ”

It must be admitted that Ngo Dinh Diem has a high level of support in industrial villages and Catholic villages, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to expect them to oppose it.

Pan Guangdan sighed lightly, and said with frustration: "Obviously you know that Wu Tingyan is a dictatorship, and you are obviously dissatisfied with what the Wu brothers have done, but you still support it." ”

Huang Duqing asked with a smile: "Pan Quang Dan, do you think that Wu Tingyan is not good, and you think that the Wu brothers are engaged in dictatorship, so who can do it, who can manage the country well when he comes to power, and can integrate all forces to resist North Vietnam?" You, Ruan Yushou, Chen Wenxiang, or go to France to invite Baoda back? ”

Looking at his thoughtful appearance, Huang Duqing continued: "Don't look at the national army being reorganized, but there are many mountains inside, and no one will obey anyone. I bet that if the government is overthrown, it will definitely be ruled by military people, and if they have guns in their hands, whoever dares to disagree may not be as good as Ngo Dinh Diem when the time comes.

If there is no North Vietnam, it doesn't matter how you make trouble. The problem is North Vietnam, and if the political situation in Saigon is unstable, they will take advantage of the situation, and if they are allowed to hit Phu Quoc and let them implement the Soviet Russian system, that is the real dictatorship. ”

No matter how perverse the Wu brothers were, they did not wipe out the opposition.

As long as there is no organized opposition, as long as you do not join the Viet Minh, it doesn't matter how you scold on the streets and in the cafes of Saigon. If the North Vietnamese rule, let alone scold the government, I am afraid that even those who had opposed them before would have to be liquidated.

Pan Guangdan pondered for a moment, and then asked again, "Could it be ...... Is it just to let the country become the world of the Wu family? ”

"The Wu family is at least better than the Viet Minh world. Besides, Ngo Dinh Diem insists on being celibate, and his private life can no longer be checked, and there will be no illegitimate son to inherit the presidency, let alone let Ngo Dinh Diem's son succeed him, even if he is dictatorial, he will not be dictatorial for many years. In short, dealing with the Vietminh came first. ”
