Also called Zhang Biaotou, he was Zhao Yongcai's escort leader and close friend. From the time Yongcai began training as a guard, Zhang took him along on trips and through training—they were comrades close like brothers. He brought Yongcai's body back from their last mission. When he learned about the baby switch and the stolen compensation silver, he erupted in fury and led the other escorts to confront Zhao Yongqiang.
