Butcher Zhang did not originally carry the surname Zhang; his original surname was Tang. He was a native of Shucheng, and in those days, Shucheng was poor.
He and his younger brother had traveled ten thousand miles from Shucheng to Shangjing to find work. Being uneducated and unskilled, the two brothers had no choice but to do grueling manual labor to earn an honest living.
Later, they met a benefactor: the head of the Nangong Family at the time, who was the father of Nangong Baye and the others.
