11众英雄见过礼，冯难敌便请众位献计，如何诛杀大汉奸吴三桂。当下，群雄有的说大家齐杀入云南平西王府;有的说明攻未必成功，不如暗杀;有的说一刀杀了太便宜他，不如剜眼，断手…
When the heroes saw the ceremony, Feng Nandi asked all of them to offer suggestions on how to kill Wu Sangui, the traitor of the Han Dynasty. At the moment, some of the heroes said that everyone had killed in the Pingxi Palace of Yunnan Province; Some explain that the attack may not be successful, so it is better to assassinate; Some people say that it’s too cheap to kill him with one knife. It’s better to gouge out your eyes and break your hands
12众人吃喝了一会，冯难敌又站起来道，要请当世大儒顾亭林先生指教。人群中于是站起一个形貌清癯的老者，拱手向大家致意。他正是顾亭林。
After eating and drinking for a while, Feng Nandi stood up again and said that he would ask Mr. Gu Tinglin, the great scholar of the world, for advice. A beautiful old man stood up in the crowd and bowed his hand to greet everyone. He is Gu Tinglin.
13顾亭林建议，大伙儿分头并进，相机行事。但第一不能泄漏风声，第二不可鲁莽，第三不可争功抢先，自相争斗。这里天下十八省的英雄都有，咱们一省结成一盟，一共十八个盟结为“锄奸盟”
Gu Tinglin suggested that everyone go in separately and act according to the situation. But first, we should not leak the wind, second, we should not be reckless, and third, we should not compete for the first place. There are heroes in all the 18 provinces in the world. Our province has formed an alliance, and a total of 18 alliances have formed a “anti-traitor alliance”
14各帮、各派生怕推举盟主，不免压低了自己，争议一番，当下议决一省省的分别聚集，自行推举盟主。韦小宝听罢问九难:“师父，咱们又算哪一省?”九难道:“哪一省都不算。我独来独往，不必加盟。”
For fear of electing the leader of the alliance, the various gangs and factions inevitably lowered themselves and disputed. When they decided to gather separately in one province, they elected the leader of the alliance. After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao asked the nine difficult questions: “Master, which province are we?” Nine: “Which province is not. I’m independent and don’t need to join.”
15过不多时，好几省的盟主先行推举出来，分别是少林寺方丈晦聪禅师，武当派掌门人云雁道人，华山派掌门人冯难敌，沐王府沐剑声、郑克爽，等等。又公推顾亭林、天地会总舵主陈近南为“锄奷盟”总军师。
After a while, the leaders of several provinces were first elected, including Zen Master Hui Cong, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Taoist Yun Yan, the leader of Wudang Sect, Feng Nandi, the leader of Huashan Sect, Mu Jiansheng, Zheng Keshuang, and so on. Gu Tinglin and Chen Jinnan, the Chief Helmsman of the Heavenly and Earthly Society, were also elected as the Chief Military of the “Hoe the League”.
16第二天，九难带了韦小宝、阿珂雇车东行。行到中午，在道旁一家小店吃饭。先是天地会数十人分坐六桌，吆三喝四，要酒要肉，正在热闹，门外又走进一伙人。阿珂眼尖，喜极而呼:“啊，郑……郑公子来了!”
The next day, Jiunan took Wei Xiaobao and Ah Ke to hire a car to go east. At noon, eat in a small shop beside the road. First, there were dozens of people sitting at six tables at the Tiandihui, shouting three to four, asking for wine and meat. It was busy, and another group of people came into the door. Ke’s eyes were sharp, and she exclaimed with great joy: “Ah, Zheng… Here comes Mr. Zheng!”
17郑克爽看见阿珂，便走过来。已无空位子，阿珂即叫韦小宝到别处去挤。韦小宝满面不悦，走到天地会徐天川身旁坐下，低声道:“大家别认我。”徐天川立刻到另五桌传话:“本堂韦香主驾到，要大伙儿装作互不认识。“
When Zheng Keshuang saw Ah Ke, he came over. As there were no vacant seats, Ah Ke asked Wei Xiaobao to squeeze them elsewhere. Wei Xiaobao walked to Xu Tianchuan, the Heaven and Earth Society, and sat down. He said in a low voice, “Don’t recognize me.” Xu Tianchuan immediately went to the other five tables and said, “Master Wei Xiang of our hall arrived, and we should pretend not to know each other“
18那边桌旁郑克爽兴高彩烈，大声说昨晚会上，众英雄推举他做福建省的盟主云云。九难提醒他，这等机密大事，别在大庭广众下提起。郑克爽瞟一眼作乡农打扮的天地会众道:“那些乡下粗人，听了也不懂的。“
At the table over there, Zheng Keshuang was jubilant and said loudly that at the party last night, the heroes recommended him as the leader of the alliance in Fujian Province. Jiunan reminded him that such a confidential matter should not be mentioned in public. Zheng Keshuang glanced at the Tiandihui people dressed as rural farmers and said, “Those rude people in the countryside don’t understand after listening“
19韦小宝低声说道:“这家伙嚣张得很，他还说了好多阴损咱们青木堂韦香主的坏话……”关安基怒极，举掌往桌上重重击落。韦小宝又道:“咱们非煞煞他的气势不可，否则大事不妙。”群雄都缓缓点头。
Wei Xiaobao said in a low voice, “This guy is very arrogant, and he also said a lot of bad words against our Green Wood Hall Leader Wei Xiang…” Guan Anji was furious, and raised his hand to hit the table heavily. Wei Xiaobao added, “We must kill him, or something will happen.” All the heroes nodded slowly.
20恰在此时，郑府随从多人没座位，就有一人推推徐天川，让他们再让一桌。徐天川跳起身来，大骂，又一声咳嗽，一口浓痰呼的喷出，向郑克爽吐出，落在他头颈之中。郑克爽大怒，喝令随从道:“给我打!”
At this time, many of the followers of the Zheng family had no seats, so one of them pushed Xu Tianchuan to make way for another table. Xu Tianchuan jumped to his feet, cursed, coughed again, exhaled thick sputum, spat out at Zheng Keshuang, and fell on his head and neck. Zheng Keshuang was furious and shouted, “Call me!”
