What does Petruchio tell Hortensio to do in line IV iii 162 and what does this imply about Petruchio's behavior?

I think the line you are pointing to is this one:
"Petruchio: Hortensio, say thou wilt see the tailor paid--Go, take it hence, begone and say no more."
The last half of the line may be addressed to the tailor rather than Hortensio.
Here's the context: Petruchio has ordered a gown and hat for Kate, but as soon as they are brought to the house he rudely complains that they are not made properly and throws the tailor and haberdasher out. His line to Hortensio shows that this is all a show. The clothes were made properly, and Petruchio would not cheat the workmen by not paying them. His rant about how awful they are is for Kate's benefit and Kate's alone. It is not an expression of his real views.
His real purpose is to teach Kate to hide her real thoughts and feelings when it is not appropriate to reveal them.

What did shakespeare mean by wench?
The word "wench" meant and still means a young woman. Often nowadays it is used when talking about a waitress, but Shakespeare used it for any lower-class unmarried woman (including, frequently, waitresses). I say "lower-class" because that is the connotation but not always the denotation of the word. Thus Petruchio in Taming of the Shrew calls Kate a "wench" just to irritate her, because she is better than that. In Love's Labour's Lost Berowne calls Rosaline a "wench' in a flirty way, and Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet does the same for the Rosaline in his play, in order to imply that she is not worth Romeo's time.
