Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

For the past few days, a strange rumor had been circulating in Taean.

Someone said they were going to remove the island that had suddenly appeared in the middle of the river.

What kind of insane nonsense was that?

That was what most people said when they first heard it.

Because it was completely absurd.

How on earth could a person remove an island?

So everyone initially dismissed it as nonsense.

But then, people remembered that the famous Geumjeok Merchant Guild in Taean had erected a bamboo structure in the middle of the island and even brought in officials to control access. That changed doubt into suspicion.

Suspicion?

The head of the Geumjeok Merchant Guild was famously stingy with money.

And such a person spent money to build a bamboo structure in the middle of the island?

And then rumors started spreading that there was even a set date when the island would disappear, turning suspicion into conviction.
