101韦小宝悲愤难当，伸手拔出匕首，便要去找吴应熊拼命。徐天川拉住他道:“这件事果然跟咱们有关。吴三桂怪杨大哥跟韦香主结交，说他背叛旧主，贪图富贵，投靠朝廷，整治他不死不活，好叫手下将领不敢反叛。“
101 Wei Xiaobao was so indignant that he reached out and pulled out his dagger and went to find Wu Yingxiong. Xu Tianchuan pulled him and said, “This is really related to us. Wu Sangui blamed Brother Yang for making friends with Lord Wei Xiang, saying that he betrayed the old Lord, coveted wealth, and joined the imperial court to punish him, so that his generals would not dare to rebel“
102韦小宝问徐天川，是如何得知这些的。徐天川转身出外，提进一个白白胖胖，身穿七品官服的人，重重往地下一掷，说是黑坎子大监典狱官。韦小宝却认得他是卢一峰。
Wei Xiaobao asked Xu Tianchuan how he learned this. Xu Tianchuan turned around and went out. He brought in a white, fat man in a seven-class official uniform and threw it heavily to the ground. He said it was the prison warden of the Black Camp. Wei Xiaobao recognized him as Lu Yifeng.
103韦小宝一脚踢去，踢掉他三颗门牙，说道:“我去稳住吴应熊，各位仔细盘问这家伙。他如不说，也把他两只手，两只脚割下来便是。”
Wei Xiaobao kicked off his three front teeth and said, “I’m going to stabilize Wu Yingxiong, and you should question this guy carefully. If he doesn’t say it, cut off his hands and feet.”
104徐天川逼问卢一峰，得知吴三桂如此折磨杨溢之，还因吴三桂和蒙古王子葛尔丹勾结甚紧，近来又派罕帖摩为使，跟吴三桂长谈了数日，竟被杨溢之得悉内情，他向吴三桂进言，致触其怒。群雄便又将那罕帖摩捉了来。
Xu Tianchuan interrogates Lu Yifeng, and learns that Wu Sangui has tortured Yang Yizhi so much, and that Wu Sangui and the Mongolian prince Geldan have colluded very closely. Recently, he sent Han Timo as an envoy to talk with Wu Sangui for several days, but Yang Yizhi learned the inside story, and he spoke to Wu Sangui, causing his anger. The heroes then captured the Hantimo again.
105罕帖摩五十来岁，颏下一部淡黄胡子，目光闪烁不定，颇为狡猾。韦小宝吩咐领他去瞧杨溢之。罕帖摩见到杨溢之模样，吓得魂不附体。声大叫，声音中充满恐惧。
In his fifties, Hentimo had a pale yellow beard under his chin, and his eyes were flickering and very cunning. Wei Xiaobao ordered him to see Yang Yizhi. Hantimo was scared out of his wits when he saw Yang Yi’s appearance. Shout loudly, and the voice is full of fear.
106韦小宝再问罕帖摩，他便一五一十交待道，蒙古、西藏、罗刹国和吴三桂将一起出兵攻清，四分天下。中原江山由吴三桂独得，罗刹国得山海关以外，蒙古得天山南北路和长城以北，西藏得四川，神龙教得沿海所有岛屿。
When Wei Xiaobao asked Hantimo again, he told him that Mongolia, Tibet, Raksha and Wu Sangui would attack the Qing Dynasty and divide the world. The rivers and mountains in the Central Plains are owned by Wu Sangui alone, except for the Shanhaiguan Pass in the Raksha Kingdom, the north of the Tianshan North-South Road and the Great Wall in Mongolia, the Sichuan in Tibet, and all the islands along the coast by the Dragon Cult.
107审完罕贴摩，韦小宝去看杨溢之，只见他半截身子已滚在地下，早已死去，床上的白布单上却写着几个大血字，徐天川道，是杨溢之用断臂写的，乃“吴三桂造反卖国”七个大字。
After hearing Han Timo, Wei Xiaobao went to see Yang Yizhi. He saw that half of his body had rolled down to the ground and was already dead. On the white cloth sheet on the bed, there were several big blood characters written by Yang Yizhi with his broken arm, Xu Tianchuan said, which were the seven big characters of “Wu Sangui rebelled and betrayed the country”.
108为了避免引起吴三桂怀疑，韦小宝与天地会群雄计议，把杨溢之尸身和卢一峰送回黑坎子大监。群雄貽办后，韦小宝仍不放心，决定到平西王府探探吴三桂的动静。
In order to avoid arousing Wu Sangui’s suspicion, Wei Xiaobao and Tiandihui conspired to send the body of Yang Yizhi and Lu Yifeng back to the prison. After all the heroes failed to do so, Wei Xiaobao was still worried and decided to go to the Pingxi Palace to investigate Wu Sangui’s movements.
109吴三桂亲自出迎。笑吟吟拉着韦小宝的手，一齐走进王府。吴三桂把他邀进书房。只见房内挂满刀枪剑戟，居中一张太师椅，上铺白章黑纹的虎皮。
109 Wu Sangui personally greeted the guests. Smiling and holding Wei Xiaobao’s hand, they walked into the palace together. Wu Sangui invited him into his study. I saw that the room was full of swords and halberds. In the middle of the room was a grandmaster’s chair, with tiger skin with white and black stripes on it.
110虎皮椅旁边，有两座五六尺高的大理石屏风，石上山水木石，便如是画出来的一般。一座屏风上有一山峰，山峰上似乎有只黄莺，水边则有一虎，顾盼生姿。
There are two marble screens, five or six feet high, beside the tiger chair. The landscape, wood and stone on the stone are just like those painted. There is a peak on a screen. There seems to be a yellow warbler on the peak, and there is a tiger near the water.
